Hi guys.

Have these chips on Orange Pi 5, but can’t find them neither in the schematic (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wsp-Q7IyG0Ky_W-z1n5oXcFG4oqIbtOb/view) nor by the chip markings.

Those are tiny bga chips marked as D25DH 6QR73 or D3FEH 68S53.

They are located under the CPU, so must be related.

I also noticed that these same chips on the same model of Orange Pi have different markings but in a similar fashion.

Thanks a lot - as always.

Estate sale digital camera on the bench tonight. I picked it up for $1 because it “didn’t work”. Battery terminals were severely corroded and found one of the button extensions broken inside. After some cleanup and a piece of strategically placed 3D printer filament - it works! #electronicsrepair #camerarepair

Something new on the bench - Raspberry Pi 400. This one had a broken micro SD card latch, so I had to replace the slot with a brand new one. Luckily I bought a few for a Jetson Nano back in a day and they are exactly the same ✅.

Then - as always - I ran a stress test and my god this thing has amazing cooling - that internal heatsink is the best mechanism I've ever seen on a Raspberry Pi - 40°C at max load. Wow 🤩.

Learning new stuff - programming ITE EC chip over the keyboard connector with #SVOD4 without needing to desolder the chip.

One thing I can tell you is you better use a microscope to make sure you’re picking the right ribbon cable and that you align it well while plugging.

Quite a fiddly thing to deal with but eventually I made it work.

Hello Fediverse friends.

This one is a bit embarrassing for me but I post my mistales as well as my wins.

A viewer sent me a Sega Game Gear as a parts-only donor. It had already been recapped, but it still wouldn’t power on.

Part 1 is teardown + diagnosis. I clean up old electrolyte, inspect the previous work, and start tracking the real fault. No miracle fix yet, but we do find a solid lead for Part 2? Maybe?

Watch: https://youtu.be/X4_mOQEw2ss

Thanks to @iFixit who very kindly sent me some new tools for the cabin.

Retooting is always appreciated (but never expected) :)

Recently got me a XPrinter XP-58 receipt printer for 7$. It was sold as broken. Turns out it has an unsoldered - not even torn or broken USB port and misaligned ribbon cable (as seen in this photo).

Five minute fix - good as new ✅.

Guys, has anyone opened Minisforum UM890 Pro? Or maybe you've seen a teardown by someone?

I'am wondering if it uses liquid metal or normal thermal paste?

Don't really want to mess with it much if it's liquid metal, but if not - it'd be a good moment to repaste it since I've bought and used it since October :)
