Just reset it again after updating and so far seems ok. Will keep an eye on it and see if it reoccurs.

Also just seen your reply, hopefully it's ok if not good to know it can be fixed :)

Have left the memory card out and so far he's been ok. Fingers crossed.
 
Sorry if its the wrong thread but worth a try.
On the Xbox I usually use the KontrolFreek's thumb grips, the ones where you get a short one and a long one in each packet.

Is there anywhere you can get just the long ones?

Cheers

I have no idea, my xbox collection is err.... slim to say the least! This is probably not the best thread to ask but now you got me on google seeing what these things are :D
 
I’ve just found 2 original game boys that don’t turn on I’ve checked where the battery’s go for corrosion and they are as clean as a whistle surprisingly considering they have been left in my nans loft for god knows how many years.

Any tips on what I should look at next, I’ve got the tools to open them up just unsure where to look on the inside.

Thanks in advance

the switch... its always the switch! you can easily test the switches with a multimeter and see if the voltage is getting through the switch.

Play it loud edition DMG? I got this ips jobbie in mine that is just plag and play!! Does a great job



Alternatively if you are feeling adventurous you could fix its stock screen and add a bivert mod... lots of options on the DMG.

Do it!! The pocket doesn't even need power mods for a replacement lcd.. there are even now lcd's with osd that allow you to set screen positioning so it isn't even a case of you getting one shot at getting the alignment right anymore.

So this is pretty wild!! This is @Martini1991 laptop...



You see those two hole looking things in the silicon...

I thought they were scratches at first but under the scope that's like fused internals under the top layers of the chip. Oh yea I plugged it in and stuff done a load of troubleshooting which lead me to this
