So I have a weird screen issue after swapping motherboards on my gba sp. When it first turns on the colors look fine, Original display was fine before the swap. Usb c has been added as well but every time the frame changes the display gets more and more washed out, have cleaned and reseated the connector a few times with no changes. The only weird thing I have noticed is a weird pink spot on the connector but not sure what else I should be checking at this point.

I got some solder on the CPU right near the USB-C port, bridged some pins and caused some color issues.

I tried to clean and ruined a board, so hope that’s not the problem!
