first step,disconnect the battery,because many lines are always hot.second,just buy a proper(not the chaepo type for safety reasons) universal laptop multi charger with many kinds of connectors,and have it your arsenal for testing and using whatever laptop you get your hands on.

Hey Bud, Wondering if you can give me some advice please... I Have a PS5 (roughly 2.5 years old) That is popping the fuse in the mains plug.... I think it's overheating.... I have removed the covers and the main fan and cleaned as much dust as I can, but the heat sinks are pretty clogged up and I do not have the competence to take it apart as I may cause damage or not be able to put it back together correctly..... I would imagine the liquid metal may need refreshing... Console operates in upright / standing orientation... What would be my best option and rough cost? I'm on universal credit so don't have a lot of funds to spare. Many Thanks

I'm not down with "breaking one to fix one", Phil. I would have rather had it end at searching for the right ports. They MUST be available.

@TheCod3r 3 ай бұрын

I agree buddy, me neither. I did look but didn't find actual replacements until I bought the other board. It's OK though I'll buy some ports and fix the other board back up ;)

@ha55an16 3 ай бұрын

I’m wondering if you would like my Xbox one s it randomly stopped working after I stopped playing on it. I think it is a hard drive issue because I was able to play games and it could crash about 20 seconds later. Now the Xbox logo flashes twice and turns off. If you would like it I can give you more information just reply to this with a platform I can private message you on.

CPUs on laptops haven't been upgradable since 2014. Even back then, 95% of machines had a soldered down CPU.

You can but it isn't easy. As already said they're soldered so I'd have to desolder the old one and solder a new one on

@TheCod3r 3 ай бұрын

@GRUBB-MUDD You deliberately call things what they're not, you talk about crap you have no clue about and all in the name of "going viral". I know what it is. You failed to make any significant impact on your video viewership so you started posting shorts, talking waffle to rile up the comment threads so you could gain a bit more popularity. The only problem is your main videos still won't gain traction because you're targeting 10 year olds who spend their life scrolling on their phones, with the attention span of a potato. It's ok, you do you, but I won't watch any of your videos...
