Definitely a donor board, the other side was worse (you can see the power switch to the right, it just fell off).

Console Repair

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!

You can buy unpopulated motherboards on AliExpress, then you can move all the parts and make it a much more difficult job!
I'm going to take the lazy approach approach and go with the funny playing board. I would also have to buy one of their slots anyway since this also had a few mangled pins.
