Found my 10th grade report card from 1990. These teacher comments are 100% accurate for me back then. I went to catholic school and I hated the required religion classes…but BASIC programming?? I definitely applied myself for “academic success”! 😂

Help our PS2 Fat’s work for another 20+ years! Replace those PSU caps! 🫡
2/3 With every PS2 fat I’ve fixed, it’s this capacitor that was the problem. Replace it, and you’re back in business. However, the other capacitors (C202, C203, C206) should also be replaced as a good practice for preventative maintenance!

Almost all PS2 fat “no power” issues can be attributed to the PSU capacitors. Specifically capacitor C009. 1/3 🧵 below!

This past weekend’s project was a N64 deep clean and re-shell. This N64 was nasty! But the result was fantastic! Went with a “extreme green” shell and even moved over the stickers.
See 🧵 for before and after pics. This N64 came out so well I might have to add it to the personal collection🤔
