So I haven't been at this for too long, but I've been trying to learn how to repair consoles for awhile now. I started mostly with easier stuff like Gameboys and DS systems, but people started coming to me at my old job looking to have their stuff fixed. More recently I started working on Super Nintendo consoles (I have about half a dozen with different variants of the 'black screen of death' syndrome), but I needed a community that could help me further my understanding on system troubleshooting and repairs. Right now I'm sitting on a growing pile of consoles, including about eight broken SNES decks, five PS3s, a couple of 3DS systems, two PS4s, and a number of other things. I started getting into this as a way to make a bit of cash on the side (especially in 3DS repairs and resales), but I've come to find it more as a hobby now, since there's nothing more satisfying than making something work yourself. Anyway I look forward to meeting new people on here, and hopefully finding wisdom in the experienced. I'm always up to chatting if people have time to talk
Welcome to the forum!, I'm currently learning Sega CD repairs and everyone has been very helpfull, I'm sure your will learn new things and meet some top people
Thanks for the welcome! Sega CD huh, what's that like? I'm a bit uneasy about doing disc-based systems just yet, due to the number of moving parts (compared to older cartridge-based systems). Closest I've had so far was a Dreamcast, and that wasn't turning on because of a hidden ribbon cable deep inside the motherboard.
