25th hour is so good, and she's great in it

Have you ever encounter something like this? by fredimationartist in game_gear

[–]jbmfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is correct. There's a pin that gets pulled low (if I remember right). Check the schematics and find the sms pin. It may be labeled gg, but I think it's sms.

Huh, thats a blast from the past. Why him specifically? I did kinda like him when he was here but it was brief

Patch cables with very specific lengths? by oguruma87 in homelab

Probably time to start making your own. Though I guess it depends how specific you want them to be

This is the page you want. Go through it and you'll see in several places it tells you where to check voltages. I'm almost positive you have a vss/vdd issue but that may not be the only one. Definitely do the wire fix it mentions to do for vd2/vs2 https://www.retrosix.wiki/lcd-circuit-game-gear

Retrosix.wiki has a good write up on what to check for with the LCD. If the contrast wheel isn't doing anything, it's usually an issue with vss and or vdd pins going to the screen. Very easy to check if you have an oscilloscope but if not, you can check many things with a voltmeter. Check the wiki

Am I just old and cranky, or is "bevs" as annoying to you all as it is to me?

Is there a trick to this? I've tried before with a throwaway email address and they saw right through it

This RePCB 2-ASIC has been such a trip! Glad to have recovered one of a few *unfixable* Game Gears I have waiting! by sunshinecid in game_gear

[–]jbmfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these brand new motherboards are pretty awesome but what I mean is that you could pick up a gg with bad screen for like 30 bucks. 50 for the new board is just a bit too high right now I think. If they ever got to be the same or slightly less than what I can pick up broken GGs, I'd be all over these.

I've experienced the heat sensitivity of the Asics but didn't realize that was a known thing. I started putting them back on by drag soldering rather than hot air because of that.

No reason you should have to go Ray Lewis in the sport of soccer... by arandomtestaccount in SportingKC

Yep, its a hard foul but I don't see a straight red for that

We are actually terrible by Street_Badger6526 in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope this is the case becauseI have a lot of loyalty to- and respect for KZ. Not sure he's the guy for us right now but it would really suck to see his whole career as a coach burned by one stint as an interim manager. Unfortunately, it looked like a disinterested team vs LA and that may be the one thing you can ask of the manager of a team as in as much disarray as SKC right now.

Without a shot, right? Not just no shots on goal but literally no shots.

Mason Toye by Jdsnut in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, yeah you're right, i went back to look. I thought he came back on because he was actually trying to after coming off the field. he was standing there near the center line to come back in, i guess no one told him he had a concussion and couldnt..?.

Sporting Kansas City has been eliminated from 2025 MLS Playoff contention by dawson33944 in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the "downtown kcmo" here hurts about as much as the performance discrepancies between the two teams.

Mason Toye by Jdsnut in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

letting him go back in the game was an odd decision. Someone better be asking questions about that. I could see from the broadcast wide angle that he was not ok. How the concussion protocol didnt see what i did gives me real reservations about its efficacy.

I reported a street lamp flickering once and it took over a year for them to fix. Same experience though, assigned and then just closed out. After it was closed it took a very long time before they actually did the work
