I bought Pokemon Ruby for the Game Boy Advance off eBay in non-working condition. It took a few things to try and get this going, but ultimately it ended up being another bad trace.

The DS says that an "option card" is inserted whenever you have something plugged in that isnt an actual game like a rumble pack or the guitar hero attachment. The solder bridge probably made it so the DS could tell that something was inserted but it couldnt tell what and assumed it was some kind of special accessory

that's not how this work mate :P Blowing in a cartridge will moisture it and damage the cartridge over time, instead of fixing it. Moisture conducts electricity as we all know, so when blowing in a cartridge, it is possible, that by the moisture all the pins get conducted, and your game works again (Depending on the issue it self ofcourse) for a period of time, that is. after a while, the game will most likely short circuit itself. Then after a while, we are presented with videos like these :P and i like it :P They inspire me :)

Hi there. I am an electronics technician with experience in microsoldering. A few tips to help with future repairs. Re-flowing is almost never going to be the answer with these cartridges and could potentially damage the IC's. When using de-soldering braid you will save braid and time if you cut off a small piece and hold it with tweezers. This means the braid has a lower thermal mass and will reach the desired heat more quickly with less chance of burning your fingers. A quick look under a cheap microscope (or a macro lens on a cell phone camera) would have made this a much simpler job. Hope some part of this helps and good luck in future repairs.

I find this really helpful, since I have never been using this myself, always being careful not to use too much solder..

I've tried to repair a similar issue before, with a Super GameBoy. Though it was about 4 broken circuit paths. I didn't finish the fix because these issues are caused in part by the cartridge shell were it presses up against the board (I figure something small and hard got in between and got pressed into it, severing the connection(s).) In my case I found that any such wires being added would be clamped down by the shell, if it could even be closed at all the wires would be aggravated the same way with basic wear and tear. Hope that's not the case for your Pokemon Ruby.

Well,glitches are more often than not, by-products of faulty circuits. If the glitches are multiple and persistent, then something is definitely wrong with either the board, or a basic component on it. I don't know much about GBA cartridge boards, but from my limited knowledge I will assume that those glitches originate from faults within the graphics chip of the board. If the chip is faulty, find a new one (good luck with that) or fix it yourself (which is impossible, since the transistors inside it are smaller than the eye can see)

@Tylerjrb 5 жыл бұрын
300-350c. Not really a lot you can overheat or damage while desoldering as long as you are quick. Use leaded if you can. As well as flux which will keep the surface tension and stop the solder from peaking when you remove the tip. Best way i find is to use a large tip. I use a 2.4mm chisel type. Remove the battery one side at a time. Hold tab with tweezers, melt solder and lift up on the tab which will stop it from sticking back down. Remove old solder and tin the pads lightly. Fit the battery and melt into place. Then melt and add solder to each side with plenty flux, you can move the iron about a bit in the solder to fill the entire pad + tab nicely. You will also have to bend the tabs on the battery on gba carts as the rom chip is in the way.

For those card-edge pins on game cartridges, the best thing I've found to clean them is a pencil eraser. Give them a little rub and they come out super shiny and clean.

Due to the removal and unremoval of the cart, you scrape off the oxidation on the pins. This is why it works again, not you blowing it like you want money.

Even though I'd never seen something like this before I still managed to understand what you were doing...
