Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

This is where I do all my repairs. Finally got it straightened out, which should last a whole 10 minutes.

They won't come loose. The pins are angled so the only way to get them off is to tilt the containers forward and lift, which is easy to do intentionally, not easily by accident. The exact brand I'm not sure, but you can find all kinds on Amazon. Here is any example so you can get a better idea how they work.

Thanks! I’ve run into a few pegboard hooks that like to fall off, but I guess those tend to be single hole hooks.

I’ll let you know if I die
