Hardware Basic Repair Guide of Current EZ-FLASH Products

[Kazy]

Where can I get a proper battery and replacement shell for the EZFlash Omega in the US? My RTC stopped keeping time, and when I was trying to replace the battery, the shell broke and doesn't stay closed properly now.

I tried replacing it with a different battery and using a wire to connect back to the pad, but it's a no go. Hoping to avoid just having to buy something else.

There are many places to buy faceplate replacements for both ez flash omega and omega DE. Just look on Google and Aliexpress.
As for that tiny battery, I don't know but I'm wondering the same.

Hi, does anybody know where to buy a proper replacement for the S98WS512PE0FW020? Or where to buy an identical one? Mine got corrupted after a year of use and I want to replace it.

I got the same problem. My ezflash air can copy the game to NOR without any problem but the game couldn't boot. It has white screen without sound or white screen with noise/glitch

You can test nor flash .turn off gba/nds then hold select button and turn it on the safe mode show up after that select card test

I updated to 1.04 so there is no 1.03 in my sd card. Their website also deleted 1.03 and replaced by 1.04

Is this problem was present in old kernels?

I’ve seen many cases on GBAtemp that are the same as mine. All the games I try to open on my EZ-Flash Air either stay on a white screen or start with a lot of graphical glitches and then freeze. I’m using version 1.04. Does anyone have a solution, or the download files for older versions so I can test compatibility?

Quite a few random issues I have with the Junior:
1. GBC games do not load at all, white-screen
2. GB games work normaly
3. Pokemon Yellow

- experiences tiny graphical glitches in sprites (a few pixels in the enemy pokemon (always the exact same) have the colour of mines health bar, always the same ones, new savefiles have the same pixels affected)​

- pikachu in viridian forest "ghosts" and rubber bands very minimally​

- in viridian forest usually crashes, otherwise randomly beforehand​

4. Pokemon Silver

- no graphical glitches​

- randomly crashes, usually just stuck screen, not white like yellow​

I tried:

- Different cards​

(had slower cards before that crashed much quicker, bought a proper one, now atleast the GB games work)​

- Different firmwares/kernels​

(even combining as I saw one or two mentions where people said it worked for them. No luck)​

(FW4 had issues with GB games too, after FW5 it stopped, downgrading to FW4 didn't reintroduce the issue)​

- GBC w IPS mod, GBA with ITA and USB-C mod, GBA SP stock​

(tried on all, all have the same reproducible glitched pixels and behavior)​

- SHA check of ROMs correct​

- RTC battery reading is 2.87V (should switch it out but this shouldn't cause issues)​

- Pins are clean, menu boots normally, no visible bridging on pins​

- making the .sav files in an emulator on PC, then dragging them into SAVER to guarrantee correct creation​

​

I know the Junior is abandonware, just wanted to post here if someone else ever experiences the same. Maybe its a faulty card, no clue. Sadly can't contact the seller as it was a gift from some time ago...I just wish @EZ-Flash2 would open-source this one because its been 5 years since the last FW/kernel update...

Cheers guys.
