I don’t know anyone locally that messes with these, so whaddya think? Maybe someone with skilled fingers and a good mind for tech could breathe some new life into these poor unfortunate devils?

The black Lite seems ok, but one of the screens is a sickly color. The original gray DS turns on and seems fine, but the entire upper screen looks dusted. The original blue won’t turn on at all, even with a battery swap.

I dunno what’s up with the silver PSP, it almost looks as if someone maliciously tried to destroy it. :(
The one with the clear front is an embarrassing failure on my part — I was trying to do a shell swap, and I pressed the driver far too HARD, driving the screw against the delicate LCD. :blush:

Any ideas/help/opinions appreciated!

Didn't understand that one until I saw the picture, but it's clearly a cracked panel (landed on a hard surface just the wrong way)

The original blue won’t turn on at all, even with a battery swap.
Open fuse? Possible if the battery was installed in reverse (impossible with the case installed but somewhat when open if distracted), or crap inserted in the slots (including some defective batches of the N5 flashcard)

The black Lite seems ok, but one of the screens is a sickly color.
Doesn't look too bad to me (apart from the strong difference in brightness... but hey it's a photo), the only thing you can really do is trying to adjust the VRs (trimmers below the battery)

Well, what's the problem? :)

plug a charger with and without battery i don't remember which. but if you see the yellow light flash, it's the fuse
alternatively open if up and use a multimeter in the fuse to know if its blown, there are 2 fuses btw

    Google isn't very helpful anymore, you get recommended loads of crap that doesn't solve the thing that you're looking for.

    @K3Nv2, afaik yeah but I also don't think that it runs on home grade routers like openwrt/dd-wrt does. OPNsense runs on full-on x86 PC hardware
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sadly openwrt seems to be dying for support unless it's just. Anew name
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like made by the same devs different architecture
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, I mean it had a new release back in March https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/releases
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not sure how recent hardware it supports though
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I mean for 1st party routers iirc linksys use to support it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    ahhhh that I have no idea
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    pretty cool though if so
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or from what ive heard ways to set custom imgs for 1st party routers so locked down now days
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    OPNsense VM and specs and specs of system it's running on. https://imgur.com/a/S9wgGUD
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've turned more features on in OPNsense lately and it's getting kind of high on RAM usage, I see. Probably bump that up to 4GB soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I wanna make a 8core router with support for 20gbps doesn't even sound that silly lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I only have 1 gig internet but internally I have 10 gig connectivity for everything on my lan lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    2 port HPE SFP+ PCIE NIC in my desktop and all of my servers
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    silly shit
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    eventually this desktop is going to act as a server too, just for the hell of it. Because this PC is WAY fucking overkill for how little I use it.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And once I do that, my desktop OS that I interact with is just going to be a virtual machine and use GPU passthrough to connect everything
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Send it to me ffs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    No because it's my desktop lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The most use this PC is getting right now is 979 Chrome tabs open right now
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    This is my desktop there are many like it but it is mine alone
