Hey all ,
bought a "Not working" DMG - 01 with multiple problems.
the first issue was the leaked batteries that was left in for more than 10 years , I disassembled the Gameboy completely , cleaned all the corrosion , cleaned the shell , put everything back and the Gameboy turn on.
now there was another issue that there was no sound and no picture , I disassemble it again , checked all the traces and found a damaged trace on the DC converter , I fixed it and then there was sound and picture .
so I figured out its about time to check the Gameboy with a game , so as you can guess . its not working , I'm getting the Nintendo logo , the coin sound and that's it , I tried with few different games and I'm getting more or less the same result .
with one game I get the logo on the screen and its there until I turn the Gameboy off .
with other game the logo disappear after loading , and with another game some times I'm getting "something" on screen that looks like its trying to load the game .
also I unsoldered the Game connector , cleaned all the pads , cleaned the connector and re soldered it.
I have 6 different games and I tried with all of them and the result is as above .
I checked all the components for shorts with multimeter , and again all seems to be fine .
can anyone advice ? what else should i check ?
thanks
