[SOLVED] Help! My GBZ does this [VIDEO]

Post by Fredl » Thu Oct 19, 2017 2:22 pm

When I turn on my GBZ, it just makes a click noise over and over again from the speaker... LEDs on the Pi dont light up...

I had this several times, usually when I open it and wiggle the cables a little it works again. So I'm guessing a bad connection somewhere.

Does somebody recognize this behaviour? A short? It would turn off completely then wouldn't it? MAybe a short after the protection circuit?
I really dont wanna redo ALL connections, since they're hotglued etc....



Anyone? :cry:

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee :-O

Really hard to say without seeing the internals, without a witing diagram, without the part list, without seeing the solders :roll:

Fair enough! Sry I'm sometimes a bit fast on the 'New Topic' button, but it seemed to me like someone could see this and be like "Wtf noob, that's Raspberry Pi 101, do you even solder bro?" :)

Long story short, I opened the baby for the 20th time and the ground was disconnected yet again. The composite signal was somehow carrying part of it through, which led to the strange behaviour....
