That seems to be a funky spot to install the backlight power. It's right on the edge connector. I'd re-wire it following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0PlML-q4Lo

I'll give this a shot too thanks smile

Try adding another one. It just sounds like too much current draw. Internal resistor could be shorted, for example.

Alright I'll give it a try.

Did you use resistor or just wire to +5v pin? My DMG crashed with lsdj without currency limit resistor.

The backlight has a pre-installed resistor.

Hey so I've recently installed a white backlight onto my Gameboy Pocket.

Before installing the backlight my Gameboy Pocket would run every game including LSDJ.
However ever since I installed the backlight LSDJ won't run, everything else runs fine and as it should except for LSDJ.
My LSDJ cart btw:

The contrast is super high, setting it to the lowest just about shows the Nintendo Logo WHEN it even shows up and it never goes anywhere from the bootup!

I'll note down what I did to the system that could potentially be seen as the problem. Because I don't think the cart is the problem, it runs on all the other gameboys I've checked. Just in case there's an incompatibility thing I don't know the code on the back is CN9804

First of all I bought my backlight kit from http://www.deadpanrobot.co.uk/en-gb/col … -kit/75777
the white one. I did a clumsy job installing it but the screen still seems to function and runs games like Pokemon well.
I followed this soldering guide of sorts: http://handheldlegend.com/pages/hhl-help-forum

That's about it, all I did was a backlight mod so I'm convinced that something about the backlight is hindering LSDJ.

I just don't know personally so if any of you have any ideas please help out if you can! hmm

Sorry if this is basic knowledge but this is really jarring 2 me hmm

Thanks 4 helping out if you can btw

Hi! big_smile

I'm Thom or Hexosphere, and for the past few months I was working on a bitpop album called Polar Lights
It's 8 tracks of 2A03 NES with Electric Guitars and occasional drums, with most of the tracks using the DPCM channel.
With some tracks being loud, energetic and noisy with others being laid-back, softer and more atmospheric.
Links are at the bottom of the post!

I've enjoyed making it, I'm trying to gain publicity and so far I've been getting positive reception from the dozen or so people who have
listened to it.
Now I'm just trying to get the word out there more to hopefully share my music with people who are into this genre.
People like you! smile

I hope you guys like it and can support me, this isn't a one time thing and I'm going to keep learning and improving to create more
chiptune rock for you all!

Track Listing:

  1. U_U

  2. Cinnamon

  3. Butterscotch

  4. <PolyHearts>

  5. Neko Ai Desu

  6. Dreams

  7. -ENDGAME-

  8. *Snowflakes*

I've got a Twitter page setup to give updates on work but currently I'm just trying to tell people of the work I've done.
Listen to the album on bandcamp and soundcloud! big_smile The album is £2 on Bandcamp. wink
