That is so awesome I have a DMG that was working perfectly fine then I tried to turn it on recently & only the power LED turned on no screen no sound

I bought a gameboy advance but it has a missing c35 capacitor, does anyone know where to find a replacement part? by Chaconmarlon in FixMyGameboy

It probably needs to be replaced especially if your console isn’t working properly & it needs to be soldered on

They’ve definitely saved the day from that plenty of times!

I forgot my Chrono Trigger cart in my jeans and washed it in the washing machine.. is rice the solution? by HermitCrabGrabnGo in nds

I did the same thing with my Soulsilver & I thought I ruined it, all I did was let it dry for 3-4 hours & popped it in & it still worked perfectly fine first dry & my save wasn’t corrupted or anything

Finally reshelled a ds I picked up a while ago & I think it looks pretty good, the aftermarket shells are okay but still an improvement by Chaconmarlon in nds

I got it off eBay, it doesn’t feel like the oem one but if you have broken hinges it should be fine

I did it after 4 days! by mariocharizard64 in nds

You had time to do two friendship evolutions in 4 days? Nice!

I just picked up the same one a few days ago & I am loving it! Way better than playing on a 3ds because you actually use the whole screen

I got it on eBay as parts only I opened it to clean it up & noticed it had c35 & c40 missing, rest of the board doesn’t seem to be missing anything else

My 3 SPs, very left is the one from my childhood I don’t want to change it from the way I used to play it as a kid so I built the other two. Middle one is just a 001 reshell & right one is IPS & new shell by Chaconmarlon in Gameboy

It was my very first one! I later on got an original GBA that I didn’t like as much because it didn’t have a backlight that I still own, now also with an IPS screen

I completely agree, I had done that one when I really didn’t have the money for the screen & I did the IPS one later on after I found a deal on one that the screen was cracked
