nitro2k01, could ESD be a factor in this equation?
ESD, no. Everything is hidden away, so you can hardly touch any connectors even if you wanted to. Now that you mention it though, CMOS latchup might play a role if
1) the smartboy reader is using a certain kind of cartridge connector and
2) id the cartridge was inserted/removed while the unit was powered on.
(3) the brand of SRAM might play a role too; some brands may be better protected against this)
What you need to look for is the pattern on the bottom side of the board, where there's a row of soldered connections.
This is a picture of a GBC board. The cartridge slot is removed, but that doesn't matter. Notice how pins 1-31 are in a straight zig-zag pattern whereas pin 32 is moved a bit up. Pin 32 is ground, and this makes sure ground always makes contact first and breaks last, should you insert or remove the cartridge when the GBC is powered on. If the stupidboy guys used DMG cart slots, pin 32 will also on the same zig-zag line, and it might be susceptible to CMOS latchup.
This is just a theory though, and I'm not sure if this is a real-world concern.

I looked at the savs. Seems like the power died after all. Either the battery is dying, or it came loose for a short while.

Send the (apparently blank) savs to me, bitsh!
[my nick]@gmail.com
Edit
Theory: The sav was already somehow corrupted because you turned off the 'boy in the wrong moment. Then both the emulator and LSDj running on the 'boy agreed to blank the sav.

Higher value resistor = slightly dimmer light, but slightly lower power consumption.

I don't really have any intention of selling any of these, (except maybe one or two of the Noise Vinyls) but I can at least showcase my humble wax collection. 
"Noise vinyl" locked loop collection. Contains a loop contributed by me.
Quarta330 - Sunset Dub / Kode9 - Samurai (Quarta 330 Remix). Should need no introduction.
Rebel Pet Set/Bleepstreet, Covox, Final Mission EP. Classic covox stuff. Oh yeah, baby!

Flogsta Danshall, Pavan. Not actually sure what this is anymore, but probably something lo-fi.
Pale Fox Records, Firebrand Boy. A) Orange/ B) Three Mile Wish. IIRC, one side is a LSDj track and the other side is a an electro/guitar track or something like that.

Backseat.nl: Orlingo - One Time Too Much. I also have the three releases from Backseat Recordings These are actually not chip at all, but more like dnb/jungle/jazz/funk.

I've always wondered how hard it would be to take a DMG casing, make a mold and then cast it out of aluminium or something. I might give it a try some day, I've done work like that on smaller items. Wonder how well or poorly that would work.
I imagine that making a mold of the external looks of a DMG wouldn't be too difficult. The problem is the inside and making two pieces that can fit together. I'm also not too sure that you can cast aluminum with such precision without professional equipment.

I would've actually recommended it, if it wasn't for the fact that I've only had a bad experience with it. Heavily increased CPU usage and bugs.

If it's in your own account, they offer a download link. Otherwise I recommend keepvid.com.

So apparently, Googl Video shuts down in a couple of weeks, so I saved the videos I have there and uploaded them to YouTube.
One hour Atari gig by Crazy Q from 2008.
Rare footage of me from 2005.
I'll see if I can find the original files later, to get a little better quality.
