Who knows a lot about the DMG?

[Nintendofreak]

Yea I work on them, but I could never figure out why one of my DMG's Left button does not work.
Is it the ribbon cable, the Mobo, something else?
I really like this Gameboy because it has no missing lines and the contrast is Amazing for such an old Gameboy.

PS. I'm working on a new DMG paint job, hopefully getting a back light.

Talk to either BoFoSho or Bibin and Ishmael they specialize in gameboys.

Dang, I forgot about him. But any of those will be able to help you.

Try cleaning the contacts, If that doesnt work, then maybe its just a bad mobo.

 

[BoFoSho]

I recommend cleaning the Motherboard with a q-tip.
Also clean the rubber membranes and the buttons.
If that doesn't work I know a trick I can tell you.

Look for the paralell traces going from buttons to ribbon. Clean the ribbon contacts too.

 

[BoFoSho]

Talk to either BoFoSho or Binbin and Ishmael they specialize in gameboys.

I'd like to meet this Binbin you speak of.

I've narrowed it down to being the back part the Motherboard,(the part with the game cartridge). I don't know where to go from here.
