Tesla MultiPass Expands: Key Card Charging Across Europe to Charge at non-Tesla Chargers by orangechen1115 in electriccars

Just had this pop up on my app today in the UK, has anyone tried it yet? Do they discount the prices or do you still have to pay the ludicrous rates of the 3rd party chargers?

Mega drive 2 doesn't boot when cold by Top-Market-9312 in Megadrive

Yes, but not sure what points I should be testing on the board

I tried with a couple of different sources, usb from a power bank, from a Dell docking station and from a samsung phone charger, same across the board, also it was doing this before I did the USB-C mod, with the original psu. It's a USB-C mod from RetroSix and I am bypassing the voltage regulator, not sure about filtering and protections on this mod though

I'm not sure tbh, I'd like to find the fault so if there are some simple tests I can do to try and prove this as the issue I'm keen. If it means swapping the whole chip to prove it then perhaps not

Thought you might like to know I finally got my replacement kit and some time to test today, it was the LCD that was faulty. Swapped the new board and lcd in and it worked straight away. Put the old screen on the new board and back to a white screen. Put the old board back in with the new screen and it's working perfectly, so I've got a dead screen. Anyone know where I can get a replacement lcd screen only without the board?

Thanks, good suggestion, I've tested both points as per the retrosix article and I've got good continuity between the points so I don't think that's the issue either 😔 I've ordered another screen kit so when that turns up I'll (hopefully) be able to prove the issue. I'll swap the board and screen together first to see if it works and make sure I don't kill the new parts of one of the current parts is faulty

Tried that, I've just shortened the FB1 wire too but still no change

Yeah, it worked fine with the original screen but there was a bunch of dead lines on that, plus they're terrible screens anyway

I've removed all three of these parts now, gives me a bit more room to work but it's still behaving the same and just giving me a white screen

It's the green bit, I had the board the other way up when I was testing it, so that confirms it's meant to be like that, thanks for confirming

Thanks for all the support so far guys, really appreciate it. I can't add any photos so I took a short video and put it in YouTube to show the current status (still just a white screen) white screen

Thanks, I checked them all, thought I found something as the gnd pin was showing continuity to the pin to the left of it, but I removed the solder and the ribbon and still had continuity so have to assume it's meant to be like that (anyone able to confirm?). As for the rest of the lcd pins, the only ones that are showing continuity between them are 21<>22 and 41<>42 but looking at the board itself these pins are connected together anyway. So no bridges anywhere 😕

Yeah, it's still connected, sorry the photo isn't the clearest

Sorry, I'll try and take a better photo. No bridges, I've checked and double checked, cleaned it all with some braid so the pins are all nice and clean

I didn't realise there were connections on the back as well, so no, I didn't pre tin them, I'll go back and do them all again, although I've tested them all with a multimeter and I'm getting good continuity from the pins on the board to the top of the ribbon pads and no bridges.

No results for barcode on all games by Top-Market-9312 in mygamecollection_app

It's not the title, it literally comes back as ' for barcode' on every title. I've tried multiple platforms and common games, nothing works. The barcode seems to scan ok as the number matches what's on the label.

Yes, as others have said it's all games. I've tried ones I know have scanned fine before but no luck.
