I appreciate that your Gameboy was broken in so many ways so that you can troubleshoot all the things lol. Nice job identifying the issue.

Solder on the switch. Genius. Thank you for the inspo.

@wubwubinmytumtum Год назад

Also: what other fuses might be associate with the power? I'm still learning to read schematics/blueprints .😅

Hi, my GBA won't turn on after trying to install an ags 101 screen, it happened after soldering the power cable for the screen to the motherboard, now the power light just flickers red when turning it on and it doesn't give the startup sound, I desoldered the wire again and stil it doesn't turn on properly, there is nothing wrong that I can see, do you have any suggestions as to what could be the problem? Is there an easy way to figure it out using a multimeter? Thanks

@geekaymuzik Год назад

Same problem here

@stijnxd Год назад

@@geekaymuzik turns out I wasn't paying attention and plugged in the ribbon cable baclwards 🤦 also learned you don't actually need to solder the wire it will work fine without, only solder the wire if you need the screen to be brighter, I plan on soldering a switch in between so I can switch the brightness

This video is great. It did help me get my game boy Advance working again! But you'll get a kick out of this.. mine was not terribly corroded, and I was frustrated that it worked fine when I put it in a safe place and it sat for several years (i used to collect gameboys). Well after watching the video I decided to just try the caveman thing and switch the power on and off rapidly back and forth 100 times to see if that loosened something up and sure enough it works fine now and it's getting better every time I turn it on 😂 I can take them apart completely and clean them (this one was cleaned before storage. I clean all my systems with alcohol carefully) but.. I don't have a soldering iron sadly.

You don't need that. Just pour Isopropyl Alc in there (70% and up is fine) and wiggle wiggle with a little downward pressure for ~2 minutes

@niplob Месяц назад

not too much downward pressure tho, otherwise you might break it

@perstizrulbla9265 Год назад

You should make a discord for your community

@totalfix877 2 года назад

This is a great idea! I'm not very savvy with Discord, but this is something that I can look into

@geekaymuzik Год назад

Question: did you clean the switch before? In my case the switch is very solid. The solder wouldn’t be fluid. How hot does the soldering iron have to be?

@no.no.4680 11 месяцев назад

Apply some fresh solder to the iron’s tip before desoldering something. That will help. 350 Celsius for the temp if you are using a cheap iron, maybe less if you get a tip that can transfer heat more efficiently. Up to 370 if it’s not melting quickly enough.
