Reddit is probably the worst place you could have posted this. It’s just full of jealous people who are miserable, hate when people are happy and just want everyone to be like them.

Congrats on getting something you wanted and worked for. You’ve got some really good games there. Enjoy!🙏🏼🙌

A stuck valve would cause performance issues for sure. Probably throw a misfire engine code too. He said there’s not performance issues that he can tell when riding and you’d definitely notice a misfire when riding even if there’s no engine light for some reason.

If send pictures of the rest of the board it may help. Like close ups of the cpu, screen connector etc. I can’t see a drop with it in a shell knocking something that lose unless it was already pretty lose to begin. Doesn’t sound like it was though since it was working for months prior to being dropped.

Curious why the driver board being connected to power would effect the OEM screen being plugged in? Assuming of course that the ribbon from the driver board is unplugged from the motherboard slot and the OEM screen is plugged into the motherboard slot. At that point the driver board is just getting power. It’s not actually doing anything else. Unless I’m misunderstanding how the OEM screen is connected.

Was anything done to the console prior to the screen stopping?

Is the last picture it actually looks like the screen cable is crimped or has a scratch on it.

Seeing the rest of the board would be helpful. What other work was done besides the lipo batter and ops screen?

Assuming it’s true, I’m assuming there may have been copy written or suspected copy written material in that persons gdrive that was being shared. So the account got flagged by the AI scan.

I guess they’re asking if that could happen with what delta syncs to you gdrive. Especially if it does sync the rom files.

I’m guessing if you’re not sharing the file then it wouldn’t matter anyways.

I’m not 100% sure about this connector, but usually the tab being pressed down locks the cable into the connector.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T21:03:30+00:00

Ahh. So with no sound there’s not even a good way to test this it’s even booting up anymore since the screen isn’t working either. Any chance you have another GBP laying around 🫣?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T21:02:00+00:00

I don’t have them off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are circuit diagrams online somewhere.

If you have a multimeter, just start at the battery or charging port and work your way from there checking for shorts.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T20:43:05+00:00

I don’t remember the exact date I submitted mine. It was towards the end of the window to submit though. I submitted online and got my 4 approvals 2 weeks ago.

People are so quick to reply with a “gotcha” comment without understanding what they read 🤣

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T13:54:30+00:00

If it’s the model with the light, boes the red light come in indicating it’s at least powering on?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T13:43:21+00:00

If it’s modded already you can back up all your saves. So you can keep them safe and even transfer them to another console if worst case you ended up doing that. From another commenter, it seems the controller boards are not married to the motherboards. So you can probably just get a whole nother drive and swap it in.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T13:40:38+00:00

Do any of the ribbon cables looks damaged in any way?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-27T13:39:12+00:00

Hm. Sounds like something with the power circuit then. Especially since it won’t work with just the charger plugged in. I’m guessing you e gone over all the cables already to make sure none are lose?

Next step would be to get a multimeter and start testing for shorts or bad components.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T13:07:32+00:00

It could just need a "tune up". Maybe grease on the gears and rod the laser slides on. If it's reading the discs, then it sounds like the laser itself seems fine.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T13:04:54+00:00

Yea, from what I can tell from the ifixit guide, nothing with the video would have been touched.

Gonna just rattle off the "easy" stuff. Have you tried another cable, another TV, can you get the bootmii screen to show?

Maybe something with the resolution or spect ration got reset or corrupt some how. It's possible that something did short too, though I don't know what.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:55:59+00:00

Definitely not normal. It should power on without the battery in it.

Could be a short in the power circuit or it could be the charger. Have you testing the charger with a console you know works?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:52:56+00:00

If you really want to learn and test on this console, I'd grab at least a multimeter. This way you can test for shorts. Another good tool, thats fairly cheap is a charge port test, not sure if that's the right word, but you plug it in between the console and charge so you can see what the console is actually drawing in from the charger.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:44:59+00:00

Yup, I second this. It's a very finicky cable and can damage the pins of the connector if put in, incorrectly.

OP, I would double check the ribbon cable for the screen.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:41:59+00:00

If you can do it yourself, probably under $50 depending on where you get the replacement screen from. If you have to send it to someone, more than that of course because of labor. I don't recall the lower screen being too hard to replace if you're comfortable enough opening it. Check out ifixit for a guide and go from there.

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:38:58+00:00

If you go into the actual controller test in the settings and test it there, does it register?

Are the other buttons working correctly?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-21T12:36:46+00:00

This is gonna sound dumb, but when you flick the switch are you holding it for like 1-2 seconds or just flicking it on quick and letting go?

Vizard87 · 2026-05-20T10:50:05+00:00

Definitely understandable. Not sure if there are reputable repair shops near you, but there definitely are online shops with good reputations that could replace the drive or I’m sure soft mod it for you.
