DualSense Controller v2: Stuck D-Pad even after cleaning

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:01:39 -0700

Hey y'all, my down button on the d-pad is 'stuck' so that when I turn my controller on, it's constantly scrolling down unless i actively press UP on the d-pad. The physical button itself is not stuck in a pressed down position. I already took my controller apart and cleaned the rubber + d-pad and the problem is persisting. Does this sound like a software issue then instead of a hardware one? Any advice would be helpful!

PlayStation 5 Slim: Why won't my WIFI work on my Ps5 slim

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 23:46:05 -0700

My ps5 won't detect any wifi connections, instead ethernet is required but wifi is more convenient and reliable for me due to when using ethernet the connection will randomly disconnect and reconnect

My PsP E1004 hasnt been used in a while, i noticed while trying to turn in ot that the lcd seems to power of for a fraction of a secont (you can see the black change for a moment) the console does not make any sounds whatsoever and after further disassembly i was unabe to get the console to boot but can confirm that the Internals had power via the wall plug i did try booting it with and without battery but i am unsure if the lack of noise and "the flash" mean i should get a new display or get a new mb.

Nintendo 3DS XL: 3ds XL [MODDED+Luma CFW] won’t turn on/blue LED/black screens

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:13:42 -0700

So, my 3ds has custom firmware and is modded. I was recently downloading some games from Hshop and when I exited the shop, it said that the SD card was removed and needed to reboot. When it was finished, all my downloaded 3ds games disappeared and wouldn’t come back. I found out that the game file became corrupted so I went into FBI to start deleting corrupted titles then I accidentally pushed the “launch title” on a corrupted file and now my 3ds wont turn on. It has a blue LED with no WiFi LED but the Luma start configuration works. It still doesn’t turn on if I remove the SD card or if I plug it in. I’ve tried many things but it still won’t work, any ideas to help me out?

I pretty sure its pin 185 of the IC140 I can even see the silhouette of the pad can this be fixed and if so were can I run the jumper wire to? Does the connection on pin 135 the last pic look good? I am getting continuity.

PlayStation 3 Slim: PS3 not start after reflow of bluetooth/wifi chip

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 06:33:38 -0700

Hi, my bluetooth was not working so i tryed this tutorial about reflow the bluetooth/wifi chip of a PS3 slim using flux liquid and a hair dryer for the warm air.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GppwrmXM...

After I did it, the ps3 is not starting. When i connect the ps3 to the energy, the red light is on, but it takes some time to get on. Then, when i press the start button, the light get’s green for a second and the cooler starts to rotate, but then, after a second it stops and the light puts off. Then, after some time it puts red again, and puts off again. The start button does not work at this moment. If i dissconnect the ps3 from the energy and connect again it’s the same, i can start the ps3 and the green light and the cooler are on for one second, after that they stops.

Maybe i broke the connector of the powe supply when warming the chip with the hair dryer? the chip is very near of the power supply connector.

Maybe the flux liquid has broken something? i putted too much liquid and it spreaded on the motherboard.

Exists a solution for this?

thank you.

PD: after giving a little more of warm air and mounting the full console now even the red light isn’t putting red when i connect it to the energy…

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: Possible causes for no power on?

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 06:12:49 -0700

I opened my N3DS XL to do a bluetooth mod( tapping into the battery 3.7v pins and headphone jack, only), the mod was sucessfully soldered in and powered up, however, the 3DS would no longer power up giving me only a brief flash of the blue led and no screen activity. I desoldered the mod and checked for bad fuses, this board is not labeled for f1 and f2 so the ones I checked had a dark green appearance and tested ok. Hooking up the wall power adapter gives a solid orange charge light but still no power to device and same blue led blink. My ribbon cables all seem tight and untorn and I see no bridged connections or stray solder on board. Any ideas where to troubleshoot next?
