I just did two different boots with the Xbox one with just the power cord and one with everything hooked up (I didn’t hook it up to a tv I will be doing that tomorrow) on the first try with just the power cable it sounds like the disc drive or hdd spools up twice then no further sound from them and then the fan runs at a constant rate with the red led immediately coming on and rapid flashing, with everything plugged in upon boot up no light for 30 seconds then a slower flashing red light.

Hello all, so I started to refurbish some of my original consoles starting with my original Xbox made in 2003 which’s is a v 1.4 or 1.5. I opened it up and cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol and pulled both coolers off and cleaned the old thermal paste off and replaced it with thermal grizzly paste, I also replaced the worn out controller ports and replaced the power button with a used one because my green light finally died (though I don’t know if this one works either yet) I noticed that 3 of the capacitors near the coolers were bulging so took it to a repair place and had the 3 caps replaced and the time cap removed because it was leaking and not holding time. I put it all back together and plug it all in and turn it on and it sounds like the hdd is really spooling up, the fan works and no disc in it, It’s a bone stock Xbox . There is no light for a few seconds then it just starts flashing red slowly. Fan is running and everything looks fine I’m just at a loss as to what went wrong, I read it could be a EEPROM issue but I have no idea how to fix it. All help is needed and greatly appreciated. Thank you

Would it be possible to use a CECHA01 disc drive in a CECHA00 ps3 and swap the boards on the bottom of the disc drive

How do I do that? And what drive do you recommend replacing it with? And I was right in assuming the drive toasted itself?

So I bought a ps3 from Japan one of the rare backwards compatible ones model CECHA00. For the disk drive I started to play it and it got stuck on some games and then just stopped reading them altogether. I did take it apart to clean the lens of the drive to see if it just was dirty but no luck. Everything seems ok inside it spins up and makes noise like it should but just won’t read the disk anymore, if I do need to fully replace the drive I have no idea what one to get and if the CECHA01 drive will work with mine. Thanks all for the help, I am a bit out of my wheelhouse with this

Xbox and PlayStation

Good evening all I have some older consoles that I have been collecting as well as playing over the years and would really like to deep clean and refurbish them with new paste and belts as well as if needed new caps but have no experience with replacing caps or any soldering is there anyone or any company out there that I could send my console too for refurbishment and have it sent back, thank you

Hello all hoping for a quick response to hopefully get everything resolved, to recap I bought an Asus motherboard for my computer build and out everything together carefully and taking my time but it wouldn’t want to dual ram boot, I ended up taking it apart and seeing that the board had some pins bent but honestly don’t think that they occurred installing the intel cpu and now they are saying that they won’t cover the warranty for damage is there anyway to see if it was damaged during manufacturing and get that fixed or do I have to swallow the repair fee, thank you

Is there any way to tell if it’s the cpu I bought a brand new i713700kf and it went straight from the box to the board

So it the cpu that’s the problem not the motherboard? Everything else has been working fine on the computer.

Ok so after a lot of trial and error it looks like maybe the motherboard has a bad RAM channel, it will boot with a single stick of ran in the B channel, but not in the A channel, and it won’t boot with the both sticks in the B channel. Going to try to update the bios, but after that, I guess I’ll have to reach out to ASUS and pray

I let it sit for about 5 min-10 min not sure if it needs to be longer than that, I had 2 devices hooked up into the graphics card one being the monitor in the non hdmi slot, and then the other on the motherboard for a bit, should I leave both on the graphics card then? And for the graphics card how do I update it if I don’t have windows fully installed and can’t see anything yet haha

So I just put together finally on my pc Asus Prime Z790-p mother board with intel i7 13700kf and evga 3080ti with Corsair RM1000x power supply, Corsair ddr5 5600 ram everything is plugged in and when I hit the power it starts up and everything lights up but shows nothing on the motherboard Or graphics card output, I also have a flash drive with windows 10 ready on it and then also have 2 other hard drives that came from a previous computer installed on it but no boot stuff on them. First time putting together a pc ground up and am completely stumped.

So I’m almost done building my new pc I need a couple more parts that are in the mail but I was trying to find a 90 degree flat connector for the 3080 ti for EVGA. The problem is the glass on the case pressing up against the psu cables and bows it out a little so trying to find the best solution out there.

Budget (including currency): $2,500 USD but a little flexible. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So parts I have are zero I’m looking to build a on the beefier gaming pc to be able to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 as well as DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) at max settings for a long time. Looking to do liquid or air cooled or a mix of both. Looking to do a ground up build including mouse and keyboard. If possible would love to do a full Corsair RGB build or a build that has all fully controllable from one software RGB and if possible fully white too. Only part I’m running currently for the PC will be the Monitor which has specs of Refresh Rate 60Hz Maximum Resolution 3840 x 2160 Native Resolution 3840 x 2160 Response Time 5 milliseconds Panel Type IPS Synchronization Technology FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) Screen Size 32 inches Hope to build it all as soon as possible Thank you allow in advance for help
