Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!
Other great places:
Isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) is fantastic for cleaning electronics.
It's also going to degrade most rubbers, some plastics, and absolutely ruin any LCD if it manages to get in-between the layers of the panel (and it does manage to do so very often).
So do not go the Reddit route of drowning your stuff in isopropyl - apply it to a cotton bud or similar and apply on the components you wish to clean directly.
Super Lube 21030 grease is safe on any plastic and almost any sort of rubber
Use no-clean paste flux and don't go crazy cleaning it off. Whenever you look at a mixed smd and through hole board and see flux around the through hole joints, that's no-clean. It's safe to leave there, and arguably provides more protection than cleaning it off. There are different flavors of rosin flux, some of which will eat traces if not cleaned. And unless you're doing BGA and have a water bath, do not use water soluble flux.
I keep a hot glue stick by my soldering station for holding down blue wire. It sets fast and unlike CA can be easily removed from solder mask with a bit of isopropyl. When I need to tack down a wire, I shave off a thin slice and use a hot air pencil to melt it over the wire and onto the board. If it's being stubborn, clean then preheat the surrounding PCB with hot air before putting down the glue. You can even get Kynar precoated in hot glue especially for this purpose.
Okay, hot glue in this limited case is okay. When YouTubers specify it for ports and switches and other force bearing use cases, it makes me want to shout.
Ooh, another one I learned the hard way: 99% isopropyl alcohol isn't compatible with the text printed on the NES front-loader/toaster cart door. It smears out the red lettering and makes a mess (I think I also had the same issue retrobriting the cart door - the peroxide also acted like a solvent for the red ink used in the lettering on the cart door).
