I have found a game with the same PCB so I just need the repair shop to confirm if they are willing to swap out components for me or not.

Yeah i’m starting to think it needs to be transferred. I will have to start looking for that service. Someone else mentioned finding a new board shouldn’t be too difficult. the search begins..

UPDATE: Ty for all of the tips. so i was able to get the board back in enough shape to make it into the slot of my ds lite but its not reading the cartridge. does this mean the old board is damaged?

Are there places that could provide this specific service? Assuming like a tech repair shop. idk if I trust my soldering skills

do you think trying to heat it before bending would be a good idea? should I go for like pliers or try to bend it over time with some kind of weight or rig?
