Very silly questions, but just to rule them out: Have you verified that the cartridge is in with the correct orientation? Have you tried a regular N64 game? Those ED64+s are known to not work with trimmed mobos, root cause is still unknown. Perhaps that reason is the same with a mobo redesign...

Is this person on the forums? If they are, I would get in contact with a mod. Not guaranteed anything would come of it, but they could at least get the "DO NOT BUY / SELL WITH THIS USER" role.

The best thing you can do is browse eBay's Video Game Consoles category, then select For Parts / Not Working under the Condition filter. Sort by price low to high, then click on the "I don't give a shit that you think there might be irrelevant results, I'm looking for busted consoles" button...

Something that's worth noting here: I've done more than a handful of rebuild-type commissions that usually start out similar to what you have here with what looks like one small issue. What ends up happening with builds that look like this is that, even if I were to fix the problem at hand, I...

That's a GC Micro, not a GC Nano. The Micro is significantly larger than the Nano, hence the larger trim. The Nano *needs* an OMEGA, and a pretty aggressive one at that (fun fact: the OMEGA sitting on top of the blue Nano will *not* fit in a Nano).

To add to what has been said, the reason why most people will not do an OMEGA trim commission is the sheer amount of time it takes to prepare one. With the extra cost of parts ($80 AVE-HDMI) and the many, many more hours needed to prepare the trim (compared to an OMGWTF or even an LMAO), the...

There is a community-member-made update to the G-Boy case files, with some custom-made PCBs to accept the 4LayerTech suite of boards! Here is a link to that thread. As a heads up, it is not perfect and has its quirks - I made a post later in that thread with my experience building one and advice...

To start, what Ginger said is the best advice to start. If this a portable you bought from someone and not one you built yourself, your first line of defense is to get in contact with whoever sold it to you. It should be their responsibility to offer service in the event that this is a...

I believe I used these, but I'm not 100% sure

I'm referring to the same clips in the Ashida BOM. Here's a direct link.

If you haven't ordered them already, you can use the same tabs used for the battery holders in the Ashida for a 3D printed 21700 holder. I did that and the setup works quite well!

From what I've seen from those who've used DD, it's pretty comparable to VGA when using such a small screen. It's not really worth it to spend the $80 on an AVE-HDMI in a portable either, for the same reasons. Btw that trim looks beautiful! It's very refreshing to see some bang-on trims coming...

Those trim lines look great!!!

What do you mean by the composite caps by the AVE? There are a lot of passives on that line, but it doesn't look like your trim (black lines) cuts through anything that normally doesn't get yeeted anyway. The Ashida is *very* forgiving when it comes to trimming outside the standard OMGWTF lines...

I think he's just outlining the absolute vitals (which are a bit off but mostly good). The black cut lines look good for me, but I would recommend keeping the fourth screw hole, as the Ashida can use it for better mounting of the wii. Like this:

Check the bargain bin in the Discord server, I'm posting eBay listings for them all the time!

Might I suggest ditching the disc drive and going for a GDEMU instead? The disc drive will significantly reduce your battery life and increase the overall size of the laptop.

A new era is upon us... Good lord man! This is the foundation for some crazy builds to come! Thank you for the hard work, time, effort and love you put into this. It truly shows!

Slam that button at the top right of the page!

You need to manually switch the screen to VGA by "pressing" K5 to ground on the driver board. You can do that with either a tact switch between the two, or by just soldering a wire to ground and physically tapping it against the K5 pad.
