So, one of my new GBCs has no sound really. The issue is that the speaker is blown but the cause is a bad capacitor on the main board. Also, in trying to troubleshoot, I discovered that the console only works intermittently at best. This is due to a faulty power switch. To fix all these issues, I need to clean the power switch, replace the capacitors (just the one really, but the other two may already be bad or might go bad soon), and replace the speaker.
Here is the post from BennVenn with details regarding the specific issue and the fix: / 2257279161052191
These are the caps you need (nichicon is better than panasonic for this use, but if nic caps are unavailable get the panasonic ones)
22uF 16v 4x5.4mm

100uF 4v 5x5.4mm

100uF 6.3v 6.3x5.4mm

You might be able to get the same parts cheaper on digikey, mouser, or lcsc.
You'll also need a new speaker. I used one from a parts GBC but you can also pick up new compatible speakers from aliexpress: www.aliexpress...
Be careful not to lift any pads when desoldering the old caps.
