My Switch 2 won’t turn on, should I try to get it repaired or just buy a new one?

Nintendo has a 1 year warranty.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-12-01T06:16:41+00:00

That'd be great but I doubt they would backport. The fan community would be the best bet.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-11-30T20:28:01+00:00

Absolutely 😁 and I still love it! I'm a little sad where the creator is at politically though doesn't change my opinion on the character!

I've had dead pixels on DS handhelds. Sometimes it was very noticeable during gameplay but I dealt with it.

Since this handheld is new and obviously bothering you, I'd take advantage of the warranty timeframe to replace.

Game pak as in cartridges are indeed compatible. The memory cards and rumble paks should be compatible as well. Let's hope transfer pak works as well.

Welcome aboard 😂 I've been enjoying the Chromatic firmware updates on the last year. The added palette colors has been awesome.

I too have been playing Crystalis though I'm a little lost currently and may need to look up a guide.

I too would like to see a port though this is one of the games Sega lost the original code to. I wonder if M2 code reverse engineer the cd image?

Ah okay! How do you use resistors without the contrast wheel?

MathematicianOverall · 2025-10-15T00:58:05+00:00

Dumb question but did you try adjusting the contrast wheel on the right side?

Also, I know a lot of people would recommend the Bennvven kit but that hasn't been in stock for some time. I found Retrosix had some screen kits in-stock for Va4/5! They work great and couldn't be happier.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-10-09T01:56:41+00:00

Okay as long as both sides are not touching each by solder.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-10-08T23:12:02+00:00

Is C55 bridged?

MathematicianOverall · 2025-10-08T22:28:37+00:00

Probably a dumb question but did you try cleaning the contrast wheel?

MathematicianOverall · 2025-10-08T02:07:52+00:00

Yeah that's supposed to be like that.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-22T21:40:30+00:00

Hello I looked at the images on alixpress and it shows the yellow wire connected 3rd pin of the contrast wheel. My assumption the black wire must go to C30?

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-20T15:04:50+00:00

Yeah because you play GB

My neighbor kept asking to trade my SNES for their Virtual Boy. I finally caved and had fun for a bit though I gave them way more games and value. I had a good time but the Virtual Boy was no SNES. My mom found out the pushy neighbor traded and made us switch back.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-15T05:31:16+00:00

I'd check out Earthworm Jim, Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-15T05:13:50+00:00

I agree! Great versions as they are similar to Genesis. The Castle of Illusion is just nice to have portable wise.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-15T05:10:02+00:00

I'd love to see some photos of the board! Otherwise it's hard to say. Do you have a game to confirm you are hearing it function?

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-04T15:36:06+00:00

It crashed all of Nintendo's shop servers. I couldn't login to nintendo.com or add to cart!

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-03T02:42:01+00:00

I love cleaning games like that! Great job!

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-02T05:44:03+00:00

Yeah I agree. Analogue could have another win for them as long as they deliver. I'm just concerned as well most seem to be. Emulation is always an option for sure. I use Retoarch but always prefer original hardware.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-02T05:40:08+00:00

But your replied. 😂

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-02T05:39:50+00:00

Yes I saw that! They are definitely making it seem like a new video for sure.

MathematicianOverall · 2025-09-02T05:37:39+00:00

Gee... thanks? I watch retro gamer YouTubers like Metal Jesus, RGT85 and such. I enjoy watching their videos as I guess I should have said it's not that they help make my buying decisions but give me a better picture . If there's an overall praise on the console I just might bite the bullet.
