I will say after watching these video's I was inspired to try to fix some consoles. I purchased 4 broken Nintendo DS (lite and dsi) and fixed all of them. One I had to re-solder the power port on and it took forever but once I got it done I learned a lot from it.

In my career as a PC Tech the worse thing I even found was a porn DVD that someone left in the dvd drive of a 15 year old PC. Kids mom brought it in to see if it was worth upgrading when she found it in the basement after her son graduated from College and left it down there as junk. When I told her that it could not do what she wanted ( video editing with a Windows 95 PC and IDE cables.....yikes ) I offered her the PC back and the DVD was tucked into a DVD envelope. When she asked me what it was I said to look for herself. She did, turned bright red in embarrassment and was yelling death threats against her son as she left. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How dirty is the previous owner's house to even have cockroaches inside their consoles

[@CDRaff]

It could have not been their fault. I lived in this apartment complex that was super nice until this guy moved in a few doors down. Within a couple months the whole building was infested with roaches. The super sent out exterminators(which we were charged for...) every month to no avail. My lease had me stuck there for another 5 months after the roaches showed up in my place. I tried tons of stuff to try and keep them out too, but nothing worked. By the time I moved I had a grocery bag full of old roach traps(that I sent to the company who owned the complex along with a letter asking for reimbursement for them and the exterminator charges), and I hadn't had even a crumb of food in the house in over a month yet they were still all over everything. Luckily at the time I was traveling a ton so I didn't have a ton of crap, but I did have to take my computer and a few older consoles apart to completely clean them out after I moved.

[@StabStabStabStabby]

@@CDRaff I see yourself point of but the console stank of roaches and the seller didn't disclose it, so either they're nose blind to the smell of roaches because they have a dirty house or they lied.

[@nilus2k]

Cockroach infestations can strike you even in a clean apartment. It really just takes one unclean apartment to invest others and PlayStation’s seem to really attract them. That being said, this one was so infested it smelled which means it had to be pretty gross

On that first one you fixed the connector you should of scrapped some of the green coating off to have more of a hold on those jumpers you added. Also I would of suggested highly of adding like e6000 glue to the connector to hold it in place. You don't have much holding it on and after a little while of the fan spinning and other little vibrations must likely that connector is going to break free. I repair car audio amplifiers for a living. So I do know what I'm talking about and just adding this to help you do a better job that's all. I like watching your videos though.
