I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP - eviltoast

What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo.

After trying various cables, configs, and boxes. I narrowed it down to this box. Not sure what killed it, whether it’s just old, or that it’s been powered on for over 5 years straight. But its long service will never be forgotten in the hours of Netflix and Disney Plus it passed through to my recorder.

    This.

    I would absolutely try cleaning the board.

    I would also spend $8-20 for a new one before I tried to DIY solder reflow various SMD caps.
