Guitar Hero World Tour fan makes repair guide
When our fake plastic instruments kick the bucket, we toss them out the window onto a steadily increasing pile on the West Lawn.

Need to repair a broken power switch?
For the majority of us, repairing a broken DS Lite (which is a fairly rare thing, unless you happen to be friends with G4 or something) is accomplished through doing nothing more than picking up the phone and calling Nintendo. But, some are more brave than us, taking the responsibility of maintainin...
Backwards compatible PS3's in Europe have long waits for replacement
Here's a wake-up call for all you early PS3 adopters: months of waiting to replace a broken backwards-compatible unit. At least, in Europe for one guy.

Chromehounds and the Ring of Death
Unfortunate reader Tim has an update on his Chromehounds problem (read part one of his sad tale here): I recently told you guys about chromehounds killing my box.
