Need to share my frustration...

I was SO CLOSE to being done with my GBZ. Sound works, wifi works, the whole nine yards.

Then, I go to put the two halves together. This is where it all went downhill.

The screen begins to flicker and fade. Weird, must be a power issue. I check all my connections and everything is fine. I look at the driver board for the display...there is a part that is coming off. Crap. I solder it back on, we are all good.

Now my wifi doesn't work? Weird. I wipe my SD card a few times. Nothing. I plug the adapter into a PC and Mac...No signs of life. Oh well, Amazon refunds me. I get my roms and everything loaded using a Pi3 and then put the SD card back in my pi0. Everything is good. I go to put the two halves together...screen begins to flicker on and off continuously... Now that part from before has fallen completely off.

So, here I am ordering a new screen.

Note: always always always make sure things aren't cramped inside the gameboy.

Edit: Due to some gift cards, at least the screen was free this time -.-

I feel for you. I out my two halves together to find a capacitor on the screen board hit the external USB port and wouldn't go together. My headphone/speaker switcher didn't work and my WiFi didn't either.

I fixed the Wifi and the first issue, but had to abandon the headphone speaker switch.

starting my build soon, hopefully things are plain sailing for me but can see things going downhill easily

Update: Got new screen, works but the cable is in the way. Repaired the old board by desoldering the capacitor on and performing the 5V fix.
