The pad was completely torn off of the board, copper and all. I could have replaced the pad and restored the connection. I wanted to make something original. Thanks for watching.

what i always tell people is learn how to solder practice for a while when you are skilled and confident enough then go ahead because its not like you can go to shop and buy a new game

The battery doesn't press against the top half of the shell or is there space made for the battery?
@imod.systems
3 күн бұрын
There’s enough clearance for the battery and the shell. If you use a battery holder, or a bigger battery, it will press on the shell and crack it over time.

Would you ever consider posting links to equipment you use for these repairs? Also do you have any kind of specialized training in this or work in this field (electronics repair)? I’m interested to learn and possibly find a job doing this type of stuff for other applications as well. You definitely have a lot of technical knowledge.

Thank you, I appreciate it. No specialized training. I have a passion for technical hobbies and I find myself engrossed in them. My advice to you would be working on stuff you find interesting. It’s risky but be patient with it. If you’re not skilled enough to pull off a repair shelf it for a while until you build your skill level up.

I killed my DS Lite the same way but it wasn't on purpose, just a soldering mistake on my PK Sapphire :'(, surprisely my GBA SP didn't die... I did fix the soldering issue on the game and now it boots, but it just won't save anymore, even if it says it did. Maybe one of the capacitors blew? I don't know... I still miss my DS (I replaced the sus fuse but still won't turn on). Great video, mate!

Perhaps is possible fix the bootlegs that save on the rom itself too? They use a single chip for both rom and save and instead would be better split them.

Bootlegs are extremely dicey. They often use old stock / counterfeit flash chips. You can find them for a few bucks on AliExpress. If they're giving you a problem, just replace them. Honestly, I'd invest the money into an Everdrive and not have to worry about it.

I thought you had to soldier with a heat sync? Or is that why the flux does? Genuinely curious been years since I last did it.
@imod.systems
Ай бұрын
Flux is a chemical that cleans oxidation. High heat creates oxides that prohibit solder from making a clean solid connection. Think of it like this. Have you ever put a sticker on a dirty surface? If you have, you’ll notice that it doesn’t stick very well. Now if you clean that surface first you’ll get a very good bond. Flux is the cleaning agent that does that.

It’s the same PCB used for Ruby / Sapphire. They didn’t change the date. You can figure out when the actual game was manufactured by looking at the 4 rectangles on the back of the board. It’s the date code.
