I was starting to think my PM box was broken as I haven't received any PMs in months. I guess this confirms it.

Does your new board have the clock mod? If that leaking component was from the mod, it would've been from that and not the pro sound.

Is there any shorts at the solder points? It's hard to tell because it seems to be glued.

Yah my board does have a clock mod and I don't think the prosound directly caused the power board problem. But now that the new powerboard seems to be working fine the only problem left is with the audio.Here are some pictures of the solder points (without glue) by the pot if that helps:

Where did you PM me? Here?

Well the first time I installed the PCB the component did that but now on the new board that component doesn't seem to get hot or cause any problems. I do get sound out of the normal jack but when you try to adjust the volume it starts making static noises and you do start losing noise out of different sides. Also the prosound jack just gives me partial amounts of sound or none at all.

----------------------------------------PCB prosound problems------------------------------------------

The kit I used: http://asmretro.com/diy-gear/pcb-prosound-v2

Hello!
I just recently installed my first PCB pro sound mod on my game boy which also has a Variable Clock v4 installed as well. I connected everything according to this guide on asmretro.com: http://asmretro.com/pcbmps-tutorial but I've still been encountering issues with the sound. The first time I attempted this the power board on the back PCB of the game boy had a component that started oozing a green substance and the whole PCB stopped working because of this. This is what that looked like:

The first time I installed it the wiring looked like this:



(There is green tape around the wires because I connected two together to make one and the tape covers the parts I soldered together):

Then the second time I wired it I thought that the prosound board maybe wasn't getting a good connection with the wires I soldered together so I used a new set of wires:

After doing this I still ran into problems with the prosound and could only hear parts of the sound coming out. Also after installing this mod the speaker now makes a static like noise when you adjust the sound and even when I removed the connections the speaker still produced this sound.

If anyone has any ideas that could fix this problem please let me know.

Thanks,
zaxxon

ok sorry about that haha

Yah i think what happened was that the goo gone had dripped onto the other side and when I tried to wipe it away that's what happened. I personally don't like to use it on gameboys because of things that happen like this. I'd personally just recommend using alcohol.

offer is now open.

Also never use goo gone to remove the gunk from the screen. I did this once and it removed some of the finish on the screen and wore down on the glass.

I dont think the mega duck can play gameboy games because it looks like it has its own type of catridge placed in the box there. I could be wrong though...

Oh ok, I personally am fine with the blue painters tape but maybe because I use montana...

Was going to keep that one for myself but I fucked on the shell of another one so I decided to keep that one and sell this one instead.

Yah I sometimes don't want to sell some of my gameboys too but if I want to make more I have to. How'd you mess up the shell of the other one?

The white one is beautiful
