Internal interference. When I used those jumpers, I was concerned that they were too long compared to how thin the gauge of wire. They are a little over 7 inches long and it can become difficult to carry a signal that far. Like I said, I had no problem with those jumpers, but if you have wire...

I've used those jumper wires to relocate a N64 cart slot and it works alright without interference. It saved me about an hour of tedious soldering. You have to make sure that you do something to fasten them in place, though. They will easily pull out of the holes and off of the cart pins. I...

It's your idea if you execute it! Heck, go all out and find one of those big hollow 70's plastic Batmobile toys and put the disc tray under the hood and mount the motherboard inside the car so you can have a ps1 phatmobile! Lol

If this were my Batman console, I would hack and mount an old flashlight head on the other side opposite the window and turn it into a bat signal that shines on your ceiling while the console is on!

Lol You linked to a build page and asked about the decals. She actually links to the site that she got them from on the second page! Here it is so you don't have to search! :roll:

It's a 1.5a pico fuse. I'm in the US and they sell them on Amazon, Ebay, and lots of electronic shops. There is an alternative method, if you're interested. It's a way to use regular glass fuses which are cheaper and easier to find in case this happens again. It is detailed here...

I circled the fuse to check in red. You can buy a new fuse for really cheap. I would wait until you get your meter to test it to be sure, but if you blew a fuse, that would be the one.

It's hard to see from your pics, but is that blue thing that you're pointing to where you drew your power from? If so, that's your problem. That's a capacitor and you don't want to draw power from that. If you wired your LEDs to that capacitor, you will need to replace it.

Well, remember that a blown fuse is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. If you are sure that you fixed what blew the fuse, then it will do for now until you get a replacement. I would never do it to my stuff, though. Fuses are cheap enough that the risk to other components isn't...

I personally run my LEDs in parallel. You lose voltage too quickly in series and your lights won't be the same intensity. Use a calculator to see what resistors you need. There are many out there. Like I said, snap a few pictures and let us see what you have. I'm not familiar with the SNES...

I have to agree with Bush here. Unless you bypassed components or brought your power directly onto the board, I doubt you ruined the board doing what you did. Even an accidental bridge would be such a huge mess, I doubt you would've missed it. I'm not real familiar with the "power path" on an...

Awesome! I'm always so glad to see someone's stuff working again!! Enjoy your game, sir! :)

I apologize, but that is not the chip I meant. That small one is a power switcher, an mm1134. The one that you should reflow is actually the bigger one below it. It is an MBC, or memory bank controller. It is used to expand the memory of a ROM beyond what it would normally be able to use. You...

I am going to assume two things. First, as a collector, you have an extra Gameboy to test the game in and all of your other carts work fine in the one you are using. B, you are able to solder at least functionally. I can't be held responsible for damage due to poor soldering skill! Lol If you...

Re: code name: green mushroom Fancy!! :tophat: All jokes aside, very nice looking handheld! You have failed to disappoint!
