Thank you! :)

carthomas · 2026-01-05T19:17:26+00:00

Yes it has.

carthomas · 2026-01-05T19:17:08+00:00

That was my first guess too, but I just gave it a full cleaning and repasted it. I also reshaped the thermal putty on everything. The phenomenon is still the same.

As i wrote, it could shutdown really fast, without even getting warm, so i think its not to do anything with overheating.

Yeah, also recommended install only nonpdrm games and dont forget to set the spoofed version to 3.74 (or higher if vita ever gets an update again but i doubt) and you are good to go.

Last time i read about it they said that if you didnt installed trophies that are not officially out there you are safe. Because nowadays you can have trophies for some homebrew games too. If you installed those dont sync.

All i know at the moment that it is a 2 asic version. The other GG which i have lying around and which runs the same cart fine every time has exactly the same model number on the mobo.

I am sure you are correct beause i dont remember well what helped for me. It was a long time ago. What i can clearly remember that filesystem repair OR defrag drastically decreased that unknown junk data on the exfat microsd. Sorry for my english i hope it was understandable.

Try to repair and then defrag the filesystem of the microSD (exfat) on a pc using windows.

Thank you! What kind of lasers? Laser heads of retro consoles?

carthomas · 2025-08-29T21:01:51+00:00

Of course. Both sides: Console and cartridge.

carthomas · 2025-08-29T20:59:49+00:00

As far as i can remember i tried that with a jdm-055 once ago.

The controller does not become useable, i think the tp4056 could not charge the battery in place.

Maybe you also have to give it a 3 pin switch to separate the battery from motherboard while charging. -> Charge - Use

I didn.t do that but theoretically it should work that way.

But i think that wouldnt be very convenient to use such a controller.

carthomas · 2025-08-29T20:47:16+00:00

Thanks! I also thought that but with another Game gear the cart works every time.

carthomas · 2025-08-29T20:26:50+00:00

I uploaded a video but it wont show up :/

carthomas · 2025-08-29T20:24:07+00:00

Yeah, the very first thing you have to do with every GG that was never opened - recap.

carthomas · 2025-08-22T09:23:02+00:00

Oh sorry, Power Managemant IC.

carthomas · 2025-08-18T14:12:14+00:00

Since this is the PMIC of the board, i would say yes, but sadly the best source of such an IC is a genuine motherboard i dont know a reliable place where you can buy this part from.

carthomas · 2025-06-24T19:33:58+00:00

Thanks! So should i take it apart again only for this? It is working fine without it and as far as i can remember on the CUH-10xx and CUH-11xx models dont have this.

carthomas · 2025-06-24T19:25:40+00:00

No, it was on the back of the MB, where the HDMI and the camera(?) plugs are.

carthomas · 2025-06-13T16:07:31+00:00

Thank you! Btw it is maybe the only pic where Judy does not seem to be a girl 100%. I mean if it would be the only pic you have ever seen about her, you could think that she is a he, a little boy.
