gamey boy RPi3 power problems

[firestw152]

There's actually two other things I'm hoping i can get help with. One is I received my headphone jack today. I ordered it from amazon but its the adafruit headphone jack. The one I received is not the one pictured. The one pictured had 5 prongs on it and the one i received only has 3. Is it still possible to use this? And the second thing is, I tried to follow Sotasystems guide and wire up the status RGB LED and the battery monitor system but his guide isn't too clear. Any chance of help with that?

Well for the headphone jack 3 pins means it does not have a switch to cut off the sounds. Meaning you will either have to add a switch yourself if you are using speakers+headphone jack or if you are just using a headphone jack then its fine you can still use it. But if you are going speaker and headphones you need it with 5 so when you plug in the headphone jacks one side gets cut off and the sounds only goes out through the headphones and when you unplug the headphones the jack will make contact again and the sound will go to the speaker.

And I don't have much experience with the status LED my plan was to extend the onboard LED of the powerboost so it will be visible from the outside when its low on power.

Oh alright. I ordered a new headphone jack straight from adafruit this time. Along with another powerboost 1000c cause the one I have now, I took off the status lights as per sotasystems instructions, and they broke when I took them off. And sadly, I was playing with my gameboy for a little bit, and the voltage bolt came back. I tried doing the Dreamcast emulator again, and everything was going good. No lightening bolt or anything. Then the screen just shut off and turned to a black screen. Then I tried again and the whole system just turned off.. I'm not sure what's going on with it..
