      As someone with a hot air station and a bunch of electronics experience, all I see is gold.

          With the exception of the wii u, pretty much all of my consoles were ones that I bought as “defective”. Most of the time a good clean was all that was needed. Sometimes I had to replace one part or the other. The worst was a 3DS XL with a broken hinge that needed a full teardown just to remove that one plastic part.

    Not as bad as finding a “No Memory Card Detected” message.

    Disk cleaners saved and killed so many of my games. Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

      Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

      And I had to wait it out a bit… because every once in a bluemoon, it would manage to push through

      If you flipped it over and ran it upside down it would work for some reason.

    I got that once. Called tech support and they recommended putting a vacuum hose against the cooling fan for about a minute. Did that, and everything started working again!

    If you’ve got a bad disk drive, don’t assume it’s worthless - the homebrew scene has made incredible strides recently, and now you can play your backups from an internal solid state drive, or even from your memory card! There’s also SD adapters for memory cards, giving pretty much unlimited space. I haven’t used my disk drive in years.
