I have an authentic HeartGold cartridge that is not working. I am wondering where I can get some electronics advice on what to check for in the pcb or chips of the cart?
Whenever I insert the cart into my DS Lite and try to turn it it, I get a flashing red light where the green 'on' led is supposed to be. It does not boot at all.
Whenever I insert the cart into the 2DS XL (which allows for hot swapping), as soon as the cart is inserted, both screens go black but the system stays on. If I remove the cart, after a few seconds, the screens come back.
I think there is something up with the electronics of the cartridge itself, maybe a bad connection, resistor, or capacitor. I have already cleaned all the pins and I have a multimeter as well, so I can test continuity, but I don't know exactly what to look for. (I also have a working cart of HeartGold to test against, but when I did that, it all seemed ok).
Has anyone faced this issue before whereby inserting a cartridge turns off the DS system?
Does anyone have info about game electronic schematics and what to look for?
