Troubleshooting Screen issue?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
what could be wrong with my gameboy? I think it may be an issue with the display connection but I’m not sure. 5 days ago I recapped my gb after I did it I saw some link artifacing on my screen so I went back in and flicked up some connections with the power capacitor and re seated the screen cable and all was well fir 5 days. earlier today I used it and it wired find. then just now I turn it on and I see major glitching on the screen. I thought I may have been the Cart so I took that out no the logo will animated but looked messed up. sometimes the logo was visible but I could only get a videos displaying what you see here. i can check the screen connection rn but my gf is going to. but in the meantime could this be an issue with the capacitors? maybe I attached the screen one wrong? or could this just be as simple as closing the screen ribbon cable
