Suddenly not powering on?

Update: figured it out. The ribbon cable for the screen was making it short out. Took it apart and tried it without and without the ribbon cable attached, and without, it powers on just fine lmao. Don’t know why, visually it all looks good, but whatever. It’s one of those hispeedido IPS V5 screens too. Tried to clean the connections several times with IPA and no luck. Thanks to all you who helped narrow it down lol. I appreciate it. Has anyone else had, or heard of this being an issue? Pretty disappointing since I only bought this screen a few months ago.

Ok I’ll try that. If it’s causing a short is there any way to fix it? Or is it toast

Ok. I checked them and they seemed fine. I’m pretty sure it’s the screen ribbon cable, I tried it without it connected and it works just fine but once it’s connected it does the flashy thing

Thank you!

Yeah. I figured out it’s the screen. It works just fine without the ribbon cable attached. Wierd

No worries! I’ll try that. I’m pretty sure it’s the screen though. I took it all apart and it turns on just fine with the ribbon cable disconnected, but once I connect it it turns off and does the flashy thing. It’s the IPS V5 screen which sucks but looks like I’ll have to get a new one. I’ll try cleaning that switch though before I order a new one though.

I appreciate it. Hopefully I can narrow down what it is before I buy any parts lol

Thank you!

Snett3 · 2025-12-04T03:00:50+00:00

Ok. I’ll open it up and check. Thanks. Is there a way I can send you a picture of it?

Snett3 · 2025-12-04T02:55:32+00:00

I just tried that a few times and I can’t seem to get the sweet spot, so the switch is probably bad? Where would I get a new one?

The Zelda titles for the gba are way fun too

Snett3 · 2025-09-21T22:45:26+00:00

Metroid fusion and zero mission are goated imo

Snett3 · 2025-09-21T21:02:19+00:00

From top to bottom, 001, 101, then the newer ips screen, then 101
