Had this dead GameCube sitting on the shelf for a while, and decided to take one last go at it before writing it off as a lost cause.
The problem was that near one of the RAM modules, one of the vias had corrosion on the inside. This made the...

A few times, then I give up
So I got this PS Vita in Sapphire Blue (it's a Japanese model but I didn't know it at the time) unit from eBay about 3 months ago, sold from Georgia in the United States (I don't have the balls to buy one from Japan). I open up the...
I finished the 128MB RAM upgrade of my Xbox OG :) The extra RAM seems to be quite useless, but I wanted to try if I could do it too :lol:
It was way more difficult then "The Internet" showed. "Drag soldering" didn't work, I think it was the...
My buddy brought me an electric bike. He said the battery was shot and the bike will no longer work. I just happen to have a 36v lithium battery that was on my old scooter and I no longer need it as I stripped that scooter and am piecing it out...
I just wanted you all to know what I finally replaced the EM8 on this GBA using a rework station and a replacement I ordered from AliExpress.
This is the first time my childhood GBA has charged since the original post!
My micro switches came in, so I made myself a Pico sized keyboard (with a 3d printed little keychain-y holder):
Admittedly it still needs cleanup (ie IPA which I need to get (again) for the circuit board, and some more sanding for the holder)...
The GBA homebrew scene has been growing steadily over the years, with one of the most recent homebrew projects for the system allowing for such technological wonders such as running Tomb Raider on the 32-bit handheld with the help of the open...
That's great! I'll take mine off and look as well. Be interesting if that was it. I did cheat since my last post and I just found cheap cracked screen GBM so rather than putting more time on mine, I put it in a box, and shelved it, and installed...
@mattek Great contribution, thank you for that. Also, very nice trace repair.
I mapped out where the vias seen next to the components where going to, a couple of months ago, but never posted the pics.
Anyways, hope this help someone.

Hello guys,
I'd like to add two cents here.
Recently, a friend of mine, asked me to repair his GameBoy Micro which didn't charge. I checked all the fuses and EMI filters as suggested in this topic, but all of them showed continuity on my...
Take the metal cover off of the power switch and clean it out. The contacts get filthy over time and the power switch gets sensitive as a result. One of mine will show a red power light if I don't turn it on firmly enough, so I know it needs...
My dog used to chase off my neighbors cat from our yard, till one day the cat stood its ground, and paw slapped the shit out of my dog, now the cat wonders thru my yard, and my dog don't even care anymore, he's like f that cat. Lol
