So today I was checking on a GC board that I got from a friend and he told me the GC would get an error and doesnt want to read games after a couple of hours gaming on it. So I suspected it to be some bad solderconnection or an capacitor, when checking the solder connections of various components one of them was so loose that it flew off. I think the component right next to it is the same. The board says it's DA15 and I've never heard of that designation. The Text on the component says A1, and this also doesnt help me out. Maybe one of you guys knows what part that is so I can order it instead of buying a broken board and stealing it from that one.

pure coincidence, i just got a gamecube to strip down for a good clean and fitting a modchip.
i'll see if i can identify the part at the weekend.
i think the problem is unrelated though, the dvd drive may have issues but the area in your pictures is i think related to video output - i'll find out.
your friend should play games from an SD card btw.

i wouldnt try to fix the dvd,
just fit the €4 modchip and get a €2 micro-sd adapter from aliexpress.
this is the thing you need with the modchip to get it going:

the modchip redirects reads from the dvd to the sdcard,
swiss is your boot-menu & ISO loader

He wants it to be fixed without the modchip, he's a videogame collector and wants it to be like original, he already has almost every game on dvd, so for this device I only need the capacitors and the part that is missing, were you abled to figure out what this part is/does? And btw thanks for your help already

not yet, need a couple more days.
i had to spend half the day cleaning it and finding a new fan.
also it has a lithium battery that will be dead by now.
it's not rechargeable, it's just a cr2032
your friend better understand that the lasers do wear out if he uses it a lot.

well mine has different markings.
and the 4 arent the same, it's 2 pairs of possibly complimentary parts
the missing one is "M5C"
the one next to it is "M5B"
they are going to the internal serial port used for stuff plugged into the base.
probably buffers or line-drivers - i'll try to id those numbers

A1=1SS308
A2=1SS309
If 2 pin is connected like the third assembly, also with 2 pin, then this is A1.Comment

by fab13Hello everyone
After checking the defective USB-C port and close to a short circuit on the M96T36 chip (8ohm) I have changed both components.
I specify that there is no other short circuit or heating component(Vu thermal camera)
First, the problem arises: Error 2101-0001 after the start-up screen ("Nintendo" logo), poor soldering.
Secondly, I install a new M96T36 and the problem I have is a brief display of the "Nintendo" logo (no short circuit, no sure charge chip, no sure charge port, no sure charge management chip percentage).... -
Hey all! I've got a XBOX Series X which came in with the complaint of games crashing to the dashboard after launch. I've tested a few games so far. Red Dead Redemption I observed will load up fine and sit on the menu no problem, but once I actually load into the world, it will not complete the load-in, and crash, stating something about an error must be sent to Rockstar, etc.. Truck simulator seemed to work fine. Minecraft loaded up and zoned into a world, but within a few seconds, it too, crashed to the dashboard. Where are the logs stored? What should I check?09-18-2024, 11:54 AM

by Heihachi_73First, before anyone bothers with the usual "your PAL TV doesn't support NTSC" or vice versa...
This is a regular Australian market SCPH-7502 PAL console, with a modchip, running on a 2003-era PAL TV (LG Flatron RT-21FA31 CRT) and several LCDs, all of which are dual PAL/NTSC and have no issues whatsoever displaying either signal.
It is not a TV or cable issue (I have four PS1 composite cables which work flawlessly with the other three PS1s and two PS2s I have lying around). FWIW, PAL PS2s output NTSC in 60Hz mode, despite the games saying it's "PAL60"... -
Hey all!
I need some help identifying the original model of the caps you could see on the pictures below. These all are from a Gamecube and should be replaced as a precaution/repair of the disc drive not reading discs. I know the voltages and capacities are easy to get from most of them, but since I do want to get some high quality replacement parts, I need the ESR or ripple current too to find some equivalent replacements.
I also added a picture of an Excel sheet I made with the designators and the diameters of the caps.
Thanks in advance!...9 Photos -
by tommy97Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with a Nintendo Switch OLED that suffered liquid damage. After a full cleanup and replacing the Joy-Con rails and joysticks, everything was working fine for about a week. However, now the Joy-Cons won't charge or connect again.
I tested with a second set of Joy-Cons, and the issue persists. Measuring the voltage on the connector shows 3.7V instead of 5V, which I believe should be the correct value.
Any insights or suggestions on what could be causing this?
