Hey guys,

I am having a technical problem.
I did an improvement to my GBZ, I bought a 4000mah and a new case, I modified the case unglued the parts from the old GBZ and literaly paste them on the new one: everything was working perfect before. Now my power boost does not turn the blue light anymore and my gameboy doesnt get any power anymore...

When the swhitch is on the red power light blinks "low", when I pluged the batery charger the yellow light turns on. But the blue light never turns on. Because I saw that the power boost was actually charging I left it a couple of hours untill the green light turned on... after I unpluged the batery charger and turn the swicht on the red "low" light started blinking again...

try moving the red wire over to the 5V point on the power boost
(when i mean red wire, the wire that is coming from the powerstrip or Pi Zero)

didnt work, I soder the enable pin to 5v nothing hapened, then I realized that I actually changed the wires of the Usb port for a heavier gaged ones. I might have shortened something there because I just unsoder the USB port and the blue light turned on! So I ll do it again. Anyways, thanks for the help
