The label hues do look a little too dark, and resembles some of the fake ones coming out of China.

I'll take your word for it, I doesn't know those label as I knew SNES ones.

Sadly, the only to way to tell, at least for the electronics hardware side (PCB + IC) is to get a good view of the interior of the cart.

I'm curious.

How do you if it is a real one or not ?

Thanks

I broke the clip on the ribbon connector for my R button on my PS Vita while I was replacing the screen.  (That bitch is tiny!) 

Can I just solder the ribbon in place, or does it need a whole new connector on the board?

@JamesRobot Please see attached pictures.

• If this A, it can be repaired, but this is really tricky (Heat VS rubber when you are soldering/repairing) Easier to just buy the rubber button.
• If this B, if the black lclip from the connector is broken.
  • Yes you can solder it, but I don't recommend
  • Best option in my opinion, find a new connector and replace the old one. Those seems tricky to find, let me know if you need help. Maybe it is possible to buy the connector and only replace the black clip.

From what I understand, your situation is option B

For more pictures, please see 

I can't say for Windows 10 and Switch Pro Controller charging, but I often plug my Switch Pro Controller in a cellphone charger and it works. Just make sure that the charger provide ONLY 5V (look at the output voltage), because I'm not sure how the controller may react with new fast cellphone charger (like Quick Charge technology, which can have different output voltage) I hope this help you.

Please let us know if you find a solution !

can you help me adjust geometry on a crt?

@docile tapeworm No I can't help you. You need proper equipment and protection. CRT monitor have around 24 kV present inside, can also stay even if the CRT monitor has been unplugged for a while. I recommend that you bring your CRT monitor to your local electronics repair store. I hope that they will fix your problem ! 

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this forum, I have some GBA/DS/3DS NFR if someone is interested.

Thank you

Hey everybody !

I'm a professional electronics technician and I'm looking to help fellow VGS members with their projects. I can solder pratically anything (through hole & surface mount components)

I'm looking to offer my services here.

Please leave me your idea(s) or your need(s) in this post. It can be anything related to video games (consoles, modifications, repair, etc.)

Thank you

I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone from Quebec refer to themselves as Canadian...

In all seriousness though, welcome aboard!  Always nice to see another Canadian pop up in the community!

I perfectly understand what you mean, but this is easier for people who doesn't know Quebec province in Canada

Welcome!  Glad to see another modern game collector.  You collect for a specific console/brand or just everything?

I was looking to sale some consoles/games/NFR I have from Nintendo. I'm also looking for electronics projects, I can really help people on that.

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome  This is much appreciated !

Welcome, always a pleasure to meet someone from NintendoAge

Hi everybody,

I'm from Canada and I was a few years ago, a member of our sadly lost forever NintendoAge (RIP). I'm here to have nice conversations and smooth transactions with collectors, buyers and sellers. I'm mainly into recent video games, but I like playing SNES games !

Video games for life ! ! !
