    As much as I love different coloured PCBs. Green is still such a classic! 😍

The photo shows a light green colour to the circuit board even through the original photo was a deep blue, thanks photoshop. :)

    I fixed a damaged USB-A port on a PS5 this week. The most tedious part was the 42 security trox screws encasing an EMI/Heat shield to the motherboard. 🙃

    Not my neatest work, but it works. This wire's pvc melts super quickly, so soldering can be a challenge. But I still prefer having the colours 🙂 A quick 3d print to hold the wires avoids strain

    The scope traces were crisp atleast. Maybe I didn't need to look to closely at my xacto scratching and probe landing 😆

    Well there's your problem. This chip has a pimple outbreak. 😅
