What is life without a few risks from time to time?

This diode is very very naughty
09.01.2025 06:47 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I think I’ve solved it. Swapped over a diode/rectifier from a known good power supply and it’s working!
01.01.2025 05:37 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It’s not going well😅 can’t figure out the power supply repair. Even with a working PS to help trouble shoot, I just lack the required skills to make any progress 😞

An early Christmas for me! Always wanted an original gameboy, and this one is in lovely condition. Also loving the lime green DS.
