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.

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.
