    My extremely well looked after oled switch that i barely even swap cartridges on and has never seen the hands of a child, stopped working a few days ago. No bent pins or anything and its intermittent. Doesnt matter what cartridges i use, its definitely the slot. I gave it a gentle one finger knock like as if knocking on someone's door, and now it works more often than not. Wondering if its just a plug thats not fully connected? I dont think it would be the slot itself, theres not a sceric of dust and ive played mostly tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild. I tend to play one game start to finish and just leave it inserted, so essentially the cartridge reader stopped working while the game was still inserted from the last time it was played. Do you think its at all likely that its the connections between the board and the motherboard that have come loose or something? Its 3 months out of warranty unfortunately.

      @@lexicase8805 that's frustrating for sure. You can order the entire cartridge reader board and just replace it. Super easy to replace.

    • @grimwoodfix
      @grimwoodfix 8 дней назад

      @@Mattmusic1025 older systems and games utilized a broader and therefore more forgiving dead zone. What I mean by that, is that on Xbox 360, the sticks could be off center by as much as 25% and it wouldn't affect game play. On Xbox One, to offer more precise movements, the dead zone was tightened to under 10%. This is to say that wear and tear could be the same on both controllers, but you'd notice it sooner on the newer controllers. That all said, the defect shown in this video isn't wear and tear, it's a crappy part that defects. And we see it all the time on Xbox and PlayStation controllers where the sticks are going 100% in a direction without being touched. For that matter, I agree with you. Because we see them like that all the time.

    Finally replaced my DS lite shoulder button today. For those watching who don't have a (precise enough) soldering iron, dont worry. You have 2 options: 1) Take the original button apart and replace the contact inside with the one from the new button. There's another video on here with a lot of views where the guy basically does this, though he just cleans the original contact rather than replacing it with a new one. 2) Simply glue on the new button using gorilla glue instead of soldering it. This is actually how the original button seems to be attached - using an adhesive rather than solder. Use gorilla glue as I doubt superglue would be strong enough. This is what I did as the original button was coming off - otherwise, just use the first method. Hope this helps!
