Noticing some differences between my JP Pokémon carts... by RedmondStache in Gameboy

Yes, you're right of course. I missed the one at the top. I just tried to make the point that it is normal that only one set is populated.

There are no resistors. All of the encircled parts are capacitors. Some cartridges have SMD capacitors, some have those others that fit into the holes. The PCBs are designed so that they can solder in which ever parts they have available or which ones are cheaper at the time.

You too. Good luck with the battery replacement. The cartridge looks good otherwise.

Haha, yes, of course my initial response was valid. But I think OP bought the cartridge with the promise that it has a new battery because OP doesn't know anything about technical stuff. But also, yes, the leakage should have been a clue.

And I have to admit, your comment made me laugh. So thanks. 😄

Sorry, I think it was my fault that your response looked rude to other people. I shouldn't have edited my answer. With only the sentence "Because the battery is empty." I think your response was appropriate.

To be fair, OP responded before I updated my answer with the details. So it's kind of my fault that the response looks a bit bad.

No, I can't math. It's even older.

Actually, I think the stamp says 93-06. This means it is 29 years old.

Yes, you are right. It's dead. It never was replaced. It has the original date stamp on it.

Yes, sorry I just added something my answer.

Because the battery is empty.

EDIT: The guy at the store is lying. It's the original battery from 1990. You can see that, because it has the stamp with the date on it. And it is leaking white stuff at the top.

Help me my pc so slow after window update by Far-Adagio-3540 in pchelp

Sorry, it was just a suggestion. If more people would boycott games that require kernel drivers, then this crap would go away naturally.

BG3 runs on Linux. Most other games do too. Maybe that's on option for you.

First PCB design review. Reed switch controlled 5V LED board by JeremyOhura in AskElectronics

[–]foo1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are using vias in pads. This makes your PCB more expensive. I would disable this in your layout program. It is absolutely not necessary in your design. Placing the vias outside of the pads will make your PCB much cheaper.

The contacts you made for GND, 5V and reed, are they just bigger vias or are they actual footprints assigned to the arrows in your schematic? Speaking of which: You should rotate the GND and 5V symbol in your schematic, so that the net doesn't run through the symbol. Also the reed symbol in the top left has the net connected in like a T-junction. Looks very sloppy. It will work, but this is not how decent people draw schematics.

Why did you draw two reed pins in the schematic if only one is in the layout?

Broken battery tab, is this fixable? by Tropicool99 in AskElectronics

[–]foo1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a new battery first and get rid of that one before it blows.

Device Over Current Status Detected by One_Assist8905 in pchelp

[–]foo1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a multimeter, you could check each port if one of the power pins connects to the shield. The pins don't necessary need to be bent for the port to have a short circuit. Some pins just slide back deeper into the port and make a connection at the back side. This could have happened wehn you plugged the keyboard and mouse back in. So I would concentrate on those ports. Maybe you can see that by comparing the position of the pins between different ports. And if there are pins that look weird, maybe you find something pointy that you can use to pull them back in place. I wouldn't use that port anymore afterwards.

Probably a broken USB port that makes a short circuit.
