Hi all,

I dug out my DMG-01 from the loft recently, actually I can't remember how I got hold of this one, but it was years back - anyway. Powered it on and it had a few issues, no speaker sound (but jack is ok), a/c power cutting on/off so using batteries, and after about 30 minutes use the screen starts to fade. So, decided to open it up and here is what I found...I am new to the inner workings of the GB, any thoughts, does it look recoverable?

Sorry, can't get pic embed to work (?) so here are the dropbox links directly...

Cheers,
LW.

Corrosion will eat through the copper traces. Sounds like you need to clean your battery contacts, add a few wire jumpers and remove the corrosion.

This should help a bit: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/6324/ … ing-guide/
