The GBA game is a birthday present for someone, and he would kill for an Earthbound repro as well. That will cover two years of present. heheh...

What are you asking for the NES stickers?

Continuity from from both sides of that corroded trace and voltage levels where the wires from it meet the main board.

It could defjnately be the problem. But I cannot be 100% sure. Do you have a multi meter?

I didn't see anything in the last three photos, but the first shows some corrosion all the way across one of the main traces.

Maybe a reflash of the software is in order. If that doesn't work, I can help you reprogram a different pin for the button input. :S

The input of your microcontroller is hanging open which means it will oscillating between high and low. Grounding it is fine, and pulling it high is fine (granted you're confident in your power supply).

I can only suggest to replace the button, increase the resistor's value, and to check the trace from button to microcontroller. Also make sure you are pulling the trace to the right voltage level. I don't remember if it is high or low off the top of my head.

I was going to say the battery contacts or regulator board. Try new batteries of course. wink

I meant that 50 Watts would be too hot for ordinary use! Until recently I was using a 40 Watt for years.

Its probably just fine, but 50Watts is a hot iron!

Im down, but only if we get the 10 for 10 deal. Start placing names in the OP, k?

EDIT: Looks like the shipping increases with each following item, so the real total would be about $11.7 each which I am still ok with.
