Re: Black screen of death?

Update! Thank you! You helped me narrow down the problem and solve it relatively quickly. I reflowed the solder joints on the ARAM chip and voila it's alive!

Re: Black screen of death?

What is your video setup like, just standard AV cables? Can you try Rogue Leader if you have it and let me know how that behaves? Sounds like your ARAM might be dying/dead or you have something causing issues on your Hi-Speed-Port/ARAM bus. Remove the GB Player, make sure there's nothing conductive...

Re: Black screen of death?

Are you saying the following is happening: Power on GameCube Boot screen (spinning cube) shows Black screen Nintendo Logo Loss of video/audio? I don't see how this is really possible, let it sit for a bit of time, does the drive error out? If I'm wrong, please be more descriptive, the GC is probabl...

GameCube audio distorted and fuzzy

Hi all, been having a problem with my gamecubes audio. Long story short guess I blew a trace or something. I followed a 5v audio trace guide. I got my audio back, but it's distorted and fuzzy. Anyone know what this could be? The caps are good. I have a feeling it's the audio amp on the motherboard i...

Strange gba sp issue

So this is a brief but weird one, I have an old gpa sp that I got way back when it launched. Worked fine up until recently, when I encountered this weird issue with the power switch.

Hi all, New to the modding scene and trying to figure out how I totally f'd up a gamecube. Here's what happened, tried to install a xenogc on a working gamecube, long story short I lifted a few traces on the mobo. For a while I was able to get it to turn on, but no video. I went back and checked for...
