G-boy rev 3 screen flickering

[1NK]

Ok, I'm back from sanding the edges of the board, and now the voltage I'm reading from gnd/1.15v is 63.2 ohms. Is this the right voltage? The edges of the board look a lot better now that I sanded up to 1000 grit.

that sounds about right I would plug er up now and see if it boots

 

[1NK]

Alright, I'll be back when I solder it back in.

Finally.

I have my USB drive inserted with the BBLoader files on it, so I'm not sure why it says to check if there is a usb device plugged in, but this is great progress nonetheless.
I'm sure I'll run into another problem while building my g-boy where I'll make another thread, but for now I at least get to progress.

Biggest thanks to everyone that helped me in this thread. You are all truly appreciated.

Awesome! Glad to hear that it's coming on now. Regarding the USB, did you make sure you didn't mix up D+ and D-?

 

[1NK]

From what I can tell, I have data positive and negative wired correctly.

Okay, I looked back at the worklog and it looks like they're in the right places. Are you sure your USB is all formatted correctly? Send a screenshot of the root of the drive.

the usb drive is supposed to be fat32 right?

 

[CrazyGadget]

Yes it's supposed to be FAT32, reformat and then copy everything back over

 

[1NK]

Any idea what to do if fat32 isn't there?

does this look right to format?

I ended up formatting it and it was successful. The g-boy now boots BBLoader just fine now.
