Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

Looking for Gameboy cart PCB replacements (lemmy.world)

Hi all!

I have a few gameboy carts where the PCBs are wrecked with corrosion or in one case it looks like someone took steel wool to the contacts. I suspect the chips are still OK though so I’d like to source some new PCBs if I can so I can swap over the rom chips. Hoping someone knows a source for such a thing.

Specifically, I’d be looking for: DMG-BEAN-01, DMG-BEAN-01, and DMG-GCA-01.

Thanks!

Oh wow pricey! Was hoping I could find them for a dollar or two. My preference is to not detroy another original just to save these. Only one of them seems to be worth anything (Gargoyle’s quest) the other two are common inexpensive games so likely not worth destroying another game of like value. Thanks for looking tho

I'm not big on harvesting from original cartridges either, but I can understand using something like a Mary-Kate and Ashley game to restore a Pokémon cart.
