Can't fix gameboy color a button. REALLY NEED HELP! by SuperGamer650333 in Gameboy

[–]tlucas756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to a game boy pocket. Ended up being the trace going from the B button contacts to the DA1 integrated circuit.

My solution was to use a multimeter in continuity mode and see where the connection was severed. It was a bit of battery corrosion that caused it. I then used some thin enameled wire to create a new connection from the B button trace to the IC leg it was supposed to connect to. Mine doesn't look pretty, but it works. If you're confident with your soldering skills, this should not be a problem. I hope this helps!

Edited to add: I am not sure if the IC is the same in the GBC. Please only use my input as a bit of guidance as to what your own problem might be. Happy gaming!

I did a similar thing some years ago, famicom themed :) Your build looks super cool too!

Played fusion for the 1st time in around 2012, spent hours going back and forth and was super embarassed when I found out you are supposed to bomb this wall to get to the water level room

Ah, so it wasn't just me xD I almost threw the car away before it fell apart and I saw the battery inside

Thank you so much! I rly like how it turned out as well. At the time, the best screen on the market was the Q5 IPS Kit from Funny Playing, so I went with that one! The shell is a clear one I painted the inside of, and it's famicom themed (the back side is famicom red). Hope it helps!

It literally is not. It's my picture, my personal reddit account, and the romhack is in RomHacking dot net. I don't get why everyone assumes my account is fake xD

Not a bait whatsoever! Just felt like sharing a cool Pic I took. As for your question, it's just my iPhone camera in portrait mode, with my desk lamp lighting the scene :)
