    GameBoy DMG-01 isn't loading Games at all

    thank you for the help. seems the same distance , so i guess ill order 2 chips and update when ever i get them . the only difference that i notice is that the 5164 comes with long legs , but it's not supposed to be an issue . if i'll manage to fix the Gameboy it will be a miracle. D

    so i changed the Shortened resistor with a new one , now the negative voltage is correct (-19) . but still it can't load games , reflowed the CPU and the Memory connections and nothing changed . the black bar logo is missing pixels . i don't really know what else should i check ......

    GameBoy DMG-01 isn't loading Games at all

    thanks for the help, ill try first to change the resistor on the DC convertor and see if there is any change . what I didn't mentioned is that sometimes I get the full black bar loading logo, although most of the times there is holes in it. i will try to go over all the soldering points again...

    GameBoy DMG-01 isn't loading Games at all

    thanks, its seems like you are right , its 1 ohm , when i measure it i get 0.2 ohm. ill have to get a new one replace it and check the negative voltage again. do you see it in the schematics ? because i can't find 1 ohm resistor anywhere

    yes I checked almost every component on the board , there was some corrosion on the cartridge connector , so I unsoldered it and put it in white vinegar , then cleaned with IPS and soldered back , checked continuity and all seems good . the only thing that looked strange to me is that thus 2...
