Hi all, this is a super ot thread, but here goes.
My 8 YO SOn, has the DS, the Gameboys, but he likes the more Vintage Gameboy Advance SP.
He buys another one not long ago, but it has a beat up case, so he buys a new case for it from Hong Kong.
When it arrives, he starts to take his old circhuit board and screen out of the old case, then calls me.
What a night mare, the swap isn't all that hard, with 1 exception, the main ribbon circuit that goes from the board to the screen.
The terminal that is on the board gets torn up, now the fun starts.
I had a super electronis genius, micro solder this connectin back on.
I then take everything home, and have the task of getting the ribbon to seat into the terminal contact, this took me 3 hours to complete, as well as the entire swap of cases. A few choice words followwed, I had worked a 12.5 hour shift before doing this task.
The bottom line is, my Son got up this morning, and is a happy camper.
The things we do for our Kids, and the obsession I had to not give up and kept trying till I got it right......
