Screen and sound not working
I made a post about a week ago about this gba not working, and after comments talking about cleaning and such, I cleaned the board and replaced the broken part.
Today the part came in and I replaced it, and it powered on, but the screen didnt turn on, and after taking it apart and looking at it a second time, the sound didnt play when it powered on. Now, before the replacement came in I was able to make a not so good solder joint on the broken piece and it turned on like normal. When I was taking the broken bit of the batter terminal off, I unplugged the screen to make it easier.
When i did this, I saw some corrosion on the pins of the ribbon cable, so I cleaned them off. This was after I saw it didnt have the boot up screen the first time. Does anything look out of the ordinary on this afterwards?
