Hardware Others Game stick lite 4K was stuck at loading screen… got worse from there. Pls help.

[WafflesMcDuff]

So I bought a game stick lite 4K 64GB, preloaded with 10,000 games. Tried it for a few minutes. Found out the game I wanted to play wasn’t in there and made plans to upload the sfc for seiken densetsu 3 English version to it later on. Unplugged it and didn’t think about for a week or two. I didn’t even remove the micro sd card yet.
Was getting ready to add the sfc file but plugged it in again to look at something and it wouldn’t go past the loading screen. Online guides said to press the reset button. This version has no reset button….

Then they said it’s probably a corrupted MicroSD card and I should use disk part to clean the disk and then use win32 disk imager to write a new image with a port of retroarch to it. I did this. I then the followed the instructions to resize the partition from 8gb to 58gb using disk genius. And then finally uploaded tons of ROMs. I put it back in the device and plugged in. Black screen. Not even a loading screen.

The other advice was to upgrade the firmware, but the markings on my board (YX-V3 231228) don’t match any of the stuff I’ve found on line. Lots of people asking about this one but no answers.

Can someone please help me get this thing going again?

And yes, I know, it’s cheap Chinese crap. But I still would like to get it going for more than 5 min

The CPU (big IC) solder doesn't look right to me, but the description you give sounds like overheating to me.
each pin shouldn't make contact with one other.
It might need USB power.

Adhering a heatsink onto the SoC could provide enough cooling, provided you cut a hole to make room for it. These emulation sticks cost very little on marketplaces like AliExpress and that they don't perform as well compared to a MiSTter FPGA or emulating them on your own computer.

And bear in mind, the microSD cards bundled with them are of poor quality, and will start to corrupt data overtime after a few uses. So if you've bought one of these, it's best to image the microSD card using Win32DiskImager prior to transferring it to the new card.

Usually these devices have a small hole where one inserts a needle or clip and presses an internal reset button. Check for that.

I believe your best bet now is to try to get an image of a memory card from the vendor, as you probably messed up the one you have.

Bu yüzden 10.000 oyunla önceden yüklenmiş bir Game Stick Lite 4K 64GB satın aldım. Birkaç dakika denedim. Oynamak istediğim oyunun orada olmadığını öğrendim ve daha sonra Seiken Denstsu 3 İngilizce sürümü için sfc'yi yüklemeyi planladım. Fişini çektim ve bir iki hafta düşünmedim. Micro SD kartı bile henüz çıkarmadım.
Sfc dosyasını eklemeye hazırlanıyordum ama bir şeye bakmak için tekrar taktım ve yükleme ekranını geçemedi. Çevrimiçi kılavuzlar sıfırlama düğmesine basılması gerektiğini söylüyordu. Bu sürümde sıfırlama düğmesi yok….

Sonra muhtemelen bozulmuş bir MicroSD kart olduğunu ve diski temizlemek için disk bölümünü kullanmam ve ardından retroarch portu ile yeni bir görüntü yazmak için win32 disk imager kullanmam gerektiğini söylediler. Bunu yaptım. Daha sonra disk genius kullanarak bölümü 8gb'tan 58gb'a yeniden boyutlandırmak için talimatları takip ettim. Ve sonra sonunda tonlarca ROM yükledim. Cihazı tekrar taktım ve fişe taktım. Siyah ekran. Yükleme ekranı bile yok.

Diğer tavsiyem donanım yazılımını güncellemekti, ancak kartımdaki (YX-V3 231228) işaretler çevrimiçi bulduğum hiçbir şeyle uyuşmuyor. Birçok kişi bunu soruyor ancak cevap yok.

Lütfen birisi şunu tekrar çalıştırmama yardım edebilir mi?

Ve evet, biliyorum, ucuz Çin çöpü. Ama yine de 5 dakikadan fazla çalıştırmak istiyorum

MHello. I used the same joystick and had a software problem. Finally, I found the software that works with the trial method. You can also find the software that works with the trial method.
