Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?
CameronDev@programming.dev 1 day agoRetro consoles aren’t my thing, but i have replaced batteries for all kinds of devices, and it’s usually fairly easy to do. Aliexpress et al. have all the batteries you could want, and a little fiddling with some screw drivers and you cam usually get the job done. Fairly safe with some basic common sense as well.

I really need to replace my 3DS XL battery…
…and PS3 controllers actually. Another fire hazard I’ve ignored lol.

www.ifixit.com/Guide/…/25068 - Looks easy, barely needs a guide.
www.ifixit.com/Guide/…/3255 - Definitely doable, although I will say that you should be careful with game controllers, they are often full of springs that will escape and be a complete pain to find and reinstall.
