I tested it with 4.6.7 and 4.0.5

It really shouldn't be a hardware issue; "I believe I've been using 4.3.x. Are you also certain that your keyboard will work? They don't all work. I throughly tested with a couple of my own keyboards so I know it should work!" - email from Justin Thursday

For some reason he never told me what exact keyboard he used/uses in the testing process.

Telerophon, I'm begging you for like 5 minutes of your time, could you please email me at [email protected] with a 'keyboardtest.sav' or something of that nature. Perhaps there is a setting or something of that nature I've overlooked. I really want to attack this as scientifically as possible.

Hahahahahaha

"I only go something out of it after moving the front pcb around while it was on"
One of mine started doing this the other day, it was kinda glitch like until it rested in a position it liked. All I can recommend for that is do what I did and try to bend the ribbon cable crease back into shape.

Coincidentally that same gameboy started the screen issues while I disassembled it to try and fix the right channel as well. Although I wouldn't say there was no right channel it was barely even noticeable though, like 5% of the lefts volume. I really have no idea how the right channel just disappeared like that.

I did come up with a work around though to get the right channel back. It turns out that the right channel was failing after the pre-pot. As much as I like pre-pot, I really wanted that and to be able to adjust the volume too. So in addition to my 1/4" pre-pot prosound which was wired to the points in this red box:
I soldered another set of wires to the same points then relayed those wires to an after market volume adjuster then wired the post-pot of that to the original headphone jack. Viola left and right channels fully functional with volume adjuster.
So there are two volume wheels one for speaker and one for the headphone jack.

I feel your pain bro. I ended wrecking like 4 1/2 DMGs in one way or another.
Its good to see you have 4 bottom PCBs still intact. Although just to be sure, I would do a test of all of the button's functionality.
From what you have described, the massive line & the torn ribbon cable PCBs are pretty much beyond repair. (horizontal technically could be fixed not easily though)

I'm not entirely sure whats going on with the other two. Could you please go into more detail of what is malfunctioning? Also pictures of any hardware or areas that might possibly leave some room for error.

Worst case scenario, you'll most likely purchase DMG for the collection. (Which is always fun)

Although you could contact ApeShit as he helped me out of a jam very similar to yours.
Four of my Front PCBs were cached while 1 remained somewhat functional. ApeShit was nice enough to preinstall two backlights of any color I wanted, I received the two boards in the mail. I have to say that his work is very top notch.

Whoops your a bit too late, I literally just got done soldered my own Y cable.
Too my surprise it seems to be working quite swimmingly.
What/Who are you quoting?

Sweet fuckin' sauce man! I'm so relieved somebody finally tracked down a functional keyboard.(Cheap too)

I assume, Telerophon, that you've tested this model of keyboard + your adapter/s w/ multiple DMGs correct?
