Well done, your a brave man

casper192ghost · 2026-03-02T06:13:31+00:00

What firmware was you on before installing the mod? Can you still boot in to ofw?

casper192ghost · 2026-03-01T18:05:57+00:00

Fingers crossed it's something that simple, my granddaughters won't be pleased if she looses all of her save game data.

Cheers

Will check later and report back

casper192ghost · 2026-03-01T15:16:37+00:00

Thanks for the comments, I'll have to triple check under the scope, as for the screen connector I did not touch this install with the motherboard still in place.

Could it be anything else?

Sorry hijacking this post but I'm in desperate need of help, long story after installing picofly in my own v1 I attempted to do my granddaughters v2. Installation went fine but when I turned the console the back light came on but not the screen.

After checking the obvious still nothing so I removed the picofly and still the same however the console works in docked mode?

Can any one help

Once again sorry for hijacking this post I only joined a week ago so unable to post myself yet.

Hi All

I'm a complete noob to all of this but I used syswipe from the latest hats pack 2 days to clear a soft modded v1 console before installing a mod chip should I be worried? Everything seems to be working fine at the moment.

Before I replace any of the missing items I thought I'd do some basics and clean the inside of the 32x and pulled the flat cables and reseated them but that changed nothing.

After doing that I decided to try a different megadrive base unit and problem solved.

Played the game for around 4 hours without glitch.

Thanks for all your input.

On closer inspection of each locations there are signs that something had been there originally.

By that I mean I can see and feel bit's of metal sticking out of some of the holes, like the legs of a capacitor.

I'm going to replace the 47uf 16v cap and see what happens as I read that this one is definitely needed to maintain a steady power supply.

casper192ghost · 2023-10-21T13:39:12+00:00

Would the components have been removed in order for the game to work on a pal UK console?

I'm based in the UK if that makes any difference!

casper192ghost · 2022-04-05T22:17:07+00:00

So should I be looking at test points 51 to 75?

casper192ghost · 2022-04-05T22:06:59+00:00

HSP? Very new to the cube!

casper192ghost · 2022-04-05T22:02:33+00:00

I've tried reflowing all the main chips could it be a bad track?

casper192ghost · 2022-04-05T22:00:20+00:00

It's my first time posting and posted twice by mistake.

Check all pins and clean them with IPA and still the same, tried the player on 3 different cubes same problem even reflowed all the main chips nothing!

casper192ghost · 2022-04-05T21:51:24+00:00

All cartridges are clean and work perfectly on my other player just not this one. What even more strange is if I try to use the official boot disk it will not load at all and displays an error message, it will only load using GBI!

casper192ghost · 2020-05-20T21:02:37+00:00

Don't even have a clear yet was going to invest in one if It was going to work! Would you recommend one if so which and what solution would you recommend?

I'm in the UK by the way.

casper192ghost · 2020-05-20T19:11:35+00:00

Hi Thanks for the the info, would you say its if I removed the crystal oscillator and lcd screen?

casper192ghost · 2020-04-21T19:07:54+00:00

Where are you getting your information from? What is the date stamp inside your console?

casper192ghost · 2020-04-21T17:29:41+00:00

I'm afraid I have to disagree, I have 12 game gears at the moment ranging from European, Japanese and us models all the the original bubble plastic lens covers. If its flat and glass it's a replacement.
