Hello, I experienced almost every possible problem with DS and DSLite but this one was new to me. Basically I bought some DS Phat "junk" and see if I could restore some of them. One was succesful, meanwhile other 2 PCBs have a problem: when they start up they ask you name, date, time, birthday...

Hello, I know the classic ways of frontlighting the GBC (gba sp001/kit bought from web) but I have A LOT of NDS (Lite) screens that are broken or with dead pixels, but each one of them has the backlight perfectly working. By disasssembling the LCD and the backlight layers, you end up basically...

My first GBC had a frontlight panel, removed from a AGS-001 (gba sp) screen, and trimmed it to fit in with the GBC screen size (since the screen is wide, most of users place the frontlight panel vertically to fit, which I really don't like, specially when using clear covers, so if you trim...

Switch faulty. You're my man :D Soldered one from another ds and it's working perfectly! Now I need to buy some, just in case. That's weird because I got all kind of problems with these DSLite but the switch randomly working was something new and so strange Thanks again!

Yep I cleaned the switch it looked fine to me but I didn't desolder it completely. It's what I will do today then, thanks for the tip!

Any help guys? This is driving me nuts. I disassembled the DS like 20 times already, checking fuse L1 and L2, I even soldered (shorted) them even if they were working. Nothing changed. I checked again the ribbon cable in front LCD, it's clean and okay, I checked the 330 ohm resistor placed near...

As title says, the power switch basically it's useless. The console doesn't respond to inputs and sometimes it turns on by itself. And if I spam press the switch it doesn't turn off, maybe it turns off later randomly. Now I wanted to sell this console but I can't do it because of this problem...

Sorry for bumping, but is there any tutorial of how using DSLite backlight instead of those pre-made kits? I have tons of DSLite botton screens and I think I can use the backlight on someDMG/MGB? I separated succesfully the backglith kit once, but I think I messed up with polarity/voltage and...

I immediately thought about the ZZAZZ glitch but I think every corrupting-glitch or gameshark code should go away with a new game or a game reset (removing battery should be the best method). It's really weird, also the cartride is not a bootleg you say, check if components and PCB is marked...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help for the Game Boy Pocket, I did some research but didn't find anything helpful. My question is really simple but I'm missing a multimeter at the moment so I can't test stuff alone until I get it back or buy a new one, so this is kinda the main reason I'm...

Uhm thats ok then. About price: i think that is ok too, just PM me the total (including shipping) via PayPal! Thanks let me know :wink:

Well if it is in perfect conditions i could be interested. Just tell me total price + shipping (im in Italy). Then i only need to check whats cheaper between you and a used gameboy on eBay :wink: Thanks

:? Ok thanks ill buy a new one then, hoping to do a better work !

Scratches are on the frontlight screen :(

EDIT: ok im an idiot i put the display on the wrong side! Btw i still have a problem, tried with soap, saliva but cant make the screen clear. Suggestions? Thanks.
