Anyone know if that part can be replaced ?? The game gives the dry battery message even though it’s a new battery

So my girlfriend bought me an original PlayStation which the eBay ad claimed was in perfect working condition.

It would appear that's not the case, and I need some help troubleshooting the problem.

Given how lenient eBay is with refunds, it does not behoove sellers to falsely advertise a non-working product, so I suspect that it worked prior to shipping, any idea what could've been damaged during shipping?

Doing the old jazz hands routine on the gargler, it would appear that if you don't replace the lens with the correct one, it'll work for a while and stop.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Evening folks.

I managed to blow the fuse in my AGB-001 GBA, and while I can find one for sale via retromodding, it's three USD and no doubt even more to ship it to me here in Germany.

Does anyone know the actual value of the fuse?

I saw some threads about some GBA SP fuses, but I'm under the impression that they're different.

Not that it actually matters but I'm leaving Reddit forever or until I can use RIF again. I'm locking this sub down.

Edit: didn't even realize people subbed and use the sub. Submit a ticket to Reddit admins to take it over in a month if you want it.

I’m brand new to repairs and I’m working on my childhood Gameboy advance as my first project. I replaced the power switch and I noticed the pads on start select and down dpad seem to be ripped off. This may have happened when I was cleaning with isp and a q-tip to get corrosion off these spots. The traces to the pads are exposed but seemingly not damaged. I’m trying to find a fix (if there is one). Thanks!

My GBA SP screen is messed up and needs to be fixed. Anyone who has experience fixing game consoles let me know as I'm willing to pay.

The unit is with my brother who is in USA so it is only possible to send within USA. I rather pay someone to fix than ask my bro to do it himself.

My brother gave me his sega genesis from his dad's house who is a heavy smoker and has been for 20+ years. When my brother gave it to me it didn't work. Took it to a repair shop and they said it's totaled. I really wanna fix it as I still have hope of it working again. Games work as the shop played them. It's the system itself. The red light turns on, it has power. No audio.
