Im putting together a tools list/resource page for everyone who wants specific tools. Could you guys post links to amazon product listings or anything that you use from 94mer tool wise to fix specific types of handhelds/consoles. The peeps would like to know :) Any feedback is welcome :) What else do you guys want to see in here that would help you out the most? Let me know in a comment !

Soooo, last nights repair stream did not go as planned, and I did not get to the Nomad until after the show ended. I'm kind of glad, as I ran into yet ANOTHER problem and this time I needed a second opinion. Against my better judgement, I dropped it off at my local repair shop this morning. Here's where we stand: When I got it, it was a brick. I swapped out the the leaking power capacitors and restored power to the board, but the ac jack was very loose and power would cut out at the slightest movement. I re-flowed the solder on the barrel, and suddenly got no more than a flash of the low battery light. I decided to replace the barrel entirely, but when I was removing the old one last night, the legs were so corroded that they actually pulled the copper contacts out of the board. I attempted to jump power from the traces, but no luck. I'm at a complete loss currently. It is possible that the aftermarket ac adapter I have been using actually fried the voltage regulator, which is a common issue, but we shall see 😢
