Thanks, dude. I'll check out the battery contacts and the soldering/wiring when I get back home where my tools are. And i wasn't being frustrated; I post on other non-electronic forums, so I guess I just brought it over haha

Peace and love to you all, chiptune fam heart heart

I changed 3 out of the 4 batteries because that's all I have currently and the campus store is closed until tomorrow. But it worked, so I think it was the batteries.
   I made sure the soldering was okay when I did the, so I'm pretty sure that won't be the cause. I was worried that any internal issue was going to be due to something with the ribbon cable, which would've sucked.

Thanks, man.

Kitsch the gawd!! No, I have not. I also thought that was a possible source, but I put in batteries like 2/3 weeks ago, and i havne't been on the gameboy for that long.
   Although, I recently installed a backlight; would that drain the batteries so quickly?

P.S, I bought a dmg replacemtn screen a couple weeks ago and it didn't fit. It was too big, and started unsticking on the right side due to forming a bend. Oh well sad

Yo, Last night i was using my 32m ems cart with LSDJ, and the LCD screen turned off out of nowhere - but the power LED stayed on.

I tried it with other regular game cartridges, and they still turned off, but relatively longer than it took for the 32M cart.

Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug1Od-dOLeM

The first part is of the 32M flash cart, the LCD screen turning off moments after. The second part is with a pokemon red cart, unintentionally staying on the Nintendo screen, and the third part is of the screen shutting off with the pokemon cart (This, LoZ, and Tetris both took longer than the flash cart to turn off.

I read another post similar to this, and was thinking that the issue could be regarding the ribbon cable?

Thanks, fam. smile
