    EZ-Flash Omega (Screwed up firmware and not booting)

    Hey that's much better than a completely dead Omega. Thanks for sharing.

    EZ-Flash Omega (Screwed up firmware and not booting)

    Congrats on fixing it:grog: So you didn't use any of the data from your original eeprom? If you didn't use any of the original data, does writing and loading games from the NOR work?

    EZ-Flash Omega (Screwed up firmware and not booting)

    Sorry bud, if you can't read the original eeprom then you're probably out of luck. If I remember correctly, it contained a key to decrypt something from the FPGA, I don't remember how it went but something along those lines. What did you use to read chip?

    What is your comfort game(s)?

    My gba flashcart got all the games but this is the only one I end up playing. Reminds me of xmas 2005 when I first got it.

    Game Boy Micro Not charging, I think it's the Diode, looking for help

    @mattek Great contribution, thank you for that. Also, very nice trace repair. I mapped out where the vias seen next to the components where going to, a couple of months ago, but never posted the pics. Anyways, hope this help someone. color scheming changed just a bit, violet/blue is the same...

    GBA Let's talk about the DS Lite's GBA cartridge cover... The curiosity is killing me.

    Funny thing is, although they have traces and seem to be connected, none of them actually are. The holes cut the connections.

    If you have no other choice than binning it then maybe you could bring it back to life by reprogramming the spi chip (U3). You'll need a programmer, soldering iron and a pc.

    Things you have fixed/modded recently

    Fixed this 55" LG. Backlight was going on and off, turned out to be 1 led out of 55 that was dead. Did I replace it? No, I bridged the connection :)

    Gameboy micro powers on, but will not charge

    Regarding the missing component, some enamel wire across just like how you drew should be fine. I did some poking with the MM and each line has 1ohm resistance that you could place in each row if you really would like to restore it to how it was. And the charging problem seems to be of the same...

    Game Boy Micro Not charging, I think it's the Diode, looking for help

    It seems like both of you have the same problem after all, which is the missing voltages pre and post the 1ohm resistor. Check if those voltages are present on the power management IC when battery and charger is connected. For now, those two legs seem to be the only place where the vias are...

    To prevent thread hijacking, start a new thread with your errors and what you've done. In the meantime I'll disassemble a GBM and do some probing to see where those vias between the diode and transistor (seen in purple) end up and what components are connected there, since it seems like...

    Game Boy Micro Not charging, I think it's the Diode, looking for help

    Hmm.. so that 4.7V trace shows 1V when connected to the charger but you still get 4.5V and 5.18V on the other pins and 4.5 after the resistor? It shouldn't be possible, please do the measurements again and let's find out.

    Cheap backlights for AGB-001 GBA? I don't wanna pay $45

    He isn't really clear with his questions though. He starts by portraying himself as cheap (implying as if that's the reason to the question) but then asks for viable options to aliexpress or funnyplaying due to lack of trust which confuses the intention of the question 🤷🏽‍♂️

    So what's the prognosis on the diode? 🙂
