I tried to fix my GB DMG but I could not. The problem is pretty simple, I have red light, sound, game starting (I can hear the music of the games) but nothing on the screen.
I know it's not coming from the screen board because I tried with two other screen board from two working gameboys and I have nothing on the screen when I try on this particular one.

My guess is that something is wrong on the other board (the one olding CPU, cardridge reader, power) but I could not find what.

I cleaned up everything with IPA and contact cleaner with no success.

I am running out of ideas so I'm posting here in case someone can help me.

Bonjour,

J'ai essayé de réparer ma Game Boy DMG, mais sans succès. Le problème est assez simple : le voyant rouge est allumé, le son fonctionne, le jeu se lance (j'entends la musique), mais rien ne s'affiche à l'écran.

Je sais que le problème ne vient pas de la carte écran, car j'ai essayé avec deux autres cartes écran provenant de deux Game Boy fonctionnelles et le même problème se produit.

Je suppose qu'il y a un problème sur l'autre carte (celle qui gère le processeur, le lecteur de cartouches et l'alimentation), mais je n'arrive pas à trouver laquelle.

J'ai tout nettoyé avec de l'alcool isopropylique et un nettoyant pour contacts, sans résultat.

Je suis à court d'idées, alors je poste ici au cas où quelqu'un pourrait m'aider.

What I'm finding on obvious stores like Amazon and eBay so far isn't giving me confidence. How can I make sure I'm tracking down the right equipment and not cheap temu knockoff or used garbage?

Also I've tried multiple apps to reset them in cases of them being broken or something like that and also they're not counterfeit

is it somehow possible to disable the "proximity sensor" check? The proximity sensor cable was damaged, so I unplugged it.

The phone is now automatically restarting every about 5mins.

I honestly don't need the function of the proximity sensor but I don't want that the phone keeps restarting.

Is there an other fix than replacing the sensor?

Thanks!

I recently purchased a new battery for my Nintendo New 2DS XL from iFixit. The device was working perfectly before the replacement. I decided to replace the battery because I have been using the console since launch day.

After installing the new battery, the 2DS no longer powers on. When the charger is not connected, no LEDs light up at all. When I connect the charger, the battery LED lights up orange. If I then try to turn the device on, the power LED turns on for about less then one second and immediately turns off again.

I have also reinstalled the original battery, but the same symptoms occur now.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,⏎

My LG front loader washer would not go into the drain stage of the washing cycle.

First there were noises coming from a drain pump, then it sat for a while and displayed OE error. No drain or spin happened.

As many posts suggested, I checked the drain filter (it was clean), hoses and replaced the drain pump with a brand new one.

I then tried Rinse+Spin and Speed Wash cycles with no clothes, to confirm that it got fixed, but to no avail.

It again stopped on the Drain/Spin stage and displayed the OE error after sitting for a while, no loud noises were coming from the new pump though.

I then went through a diagnostic run, by pressing Soil Level and Spin + Power, albeit with the same result - no drain occurred.

What else could I do, please?

Thank you!
