OLD SKULE GB

ok, so i have the original gameboy. gray and thick and stuff.

for some reason, there is no power getting to it. the batteries are new (ALL 4) XD but it wont start. red LED wont light up or anything. any ideas?


anyone want pictures?

Pictures would help.

My cousins did that but that's because the connections for batteries were all corroded.

[crait]

Pictures would be helpful. Mine works fine. Mess with your contrast, too. I thought mine was broken when I picked it up the other day but I just had to change the contrast to view the picture.

one or two are slightly corroded... could that be it?

ok, so i tested the battery tray and the power completes the circuit,but no power to the rest! and the DC input turns it on.....

Maybe it's just self aware.. lol

Could just be that it's really old =/

mailas, i honestly think that is it just cuz its old. :/




well, i rigged something up so it feeds the batteries to a dc input, but the screen doesnt work -_-

Check if there is any volts coming from it.

Did you check to see if there was any power coming from the battery tray?

yup, there is

yup, there is

If you're really keen on getting this turned on, take off the casing and use a voltage reader
and check all of the connections.
