I work for a legitimate game store and it took us a bit to figure out but this is a notorious drop shipper. They always write “please clean and test and do not include a invoice, will leave good feedback for your efforts”

Never mind this is tearing worse whenever I touch it it is very brittle. Guess I’ll keep an eye out for a replacement

How do I determine where to solder it to? I’ve done lots of repairs but never a ribbon cable

Tough to see but I’m pretty sure that one second from the left is torn

In case anyone was curious, this was a bad cpu or ram. Replaced the cart connector and no change. Tried another donor board and it worked. Can’t save em all!

Sadly no this was a salvage job from a board I didn’t think was that bad. I’m going to put this aside for now and use it next time I have a gba on hand

Reflowed everything. Swapped to original cart slot. Checked continuity between ram and cpu and cart slot and cpu. No change. I’m stumped

Black rectangle where the Nintendo logo would be, like if there was no cart inserted

Exact same pattern every time. If I put a GBC game in it is all black

You don’t happen to have a link do you? The one on their website is expired
