These Virtual Boys are rare. Only ~700,000 of them were made. They're all ticking time-bombs too. The original LCD cables are GLUED into place rather than directly soldered.
The fix is to replace these failing cables with Virtual Boy Eyepatch cables which can be soldered in place instead.
Green? Nah, blue.
Swapped the original green LEDs out on this custom console to get it nice and slick!

30-year-old capacitors doing what 30-year-old capacitors do.
Just gone doing a full recap on a Sega Game Gear VA5 — fixed the failing screen and headed off the future failures. All those little beige blocks are the old caps. Removed and replaced.

Then, it got setup with Blades theme, letting you scroll through all 4TB worth of games with a classic, simple aesthetic.
Shoot me a DM if you're interested in getting your own custom console whipped up!
Instead of a normal sized drive, the customer wanted a 4TB HDD upgrade! The stock 360 doesn't support it, so I had to apply a custom patch. Next, I had to make a custom 3D-printed HDD holder, so it can fit the 16mm thick HDD instead of the standard 15mm.
This Xbox 360 came in for the full suite of upgrades!
First step off was RGH3 install. After getting the NAND dumped, flashed and the wiring installed. It's all setup! Now it's time to make it special.
This Xbox 360 required a POSTFIX adapter install to access the POST signal beneath the GPU. Once the adapter gets seated properly, the RGH3 wiring was completed and tuned for nice, consistent boots.

This board came in after a previous technician's attempt at replacing a damaged HDMI port, and they caused a lot more issues in doing so.
This is a good reminder that HDMI replacements aren’t just "plug and play". Removing them is the risky part.

This custom Xbox 360 just made its way home to Canada! These Jasper revisions are some of the most reliable Xbox 360 versions, with a fixed GPU design, so your console doesn't overheat and kill itself!
Yet another solid Jasper build completed, and delivered 🇨🇦
This Xbox 360 was faking a symptom! It had faulty 0402 resistors on the temp sensing circuit, causing it to immediately "overheat". I replaced all of these faulty microscopic resistors, and while it was open, I gave it a full RGH3 install

Here's a nice Xbox 360 RGH install from start to finish. After disassembling it, and scraping away at the microscopic via for PLL_BYPASS, it's time to solder on some wires!
