It is an FPGBC. For got to add that
Update: I finally had time to work on it and after turning the power on, it works again. I turned it off and then off a few times and I played about 20 min of Tetris DX.
A win is a win
I did. My original kit came with an extra ribbon for the screen. I swapped it out and the screen came on for like two seconds before it went to black again

What makes you think you shorted the screen? After reading that switching the ribbon cable made it work for a couple seconds and then went out again it’s making me think there might be a loose connection/solder point on the ribbon cable connection, either on the screen or the motherboard side. I would look closely there to see if you see anything iffy. Might just need a little solder
Yes, there are replacement screens for it. But you're not modding it neither installing a kit when you're replacing the screen, because it was designed to use that screen.
I don’t think you know what an FPGBC is based off of your comments. An FPGBC is not something you “add” to an Oem gameboy color. It is a complete unit without a single piece of original hardware inside. I recommend googling it before you comment any further…. Talking about something like you know what it is when you haven’t a clue can make you look really stupid.
Yes the FPGBC can play original game boy and game boy color games, I am well aware of this lol
Edit: so too can the analogue pocket, do you think the analogue pocket is a mod for the original game boy/game boy color too??

I have a few extra fpgbc screen, lmk if you want one shipped to you
I am guessing it is the screen. I imagine nothing would turn on if it was the board.

Curious, how do you have so many of these fpgbc screens? Is there a particular part someone can order?
I have about 7, you can order from their site
How did you fix it?
I am not sure what happened. I left it on my desk and when I went to open it up to check the cables yesterday, I fired it up and it worked.
I have same issue but screen turns on after trying on and off many times. Works better if I give about 5 - 7 seconds interval.
Something similar happened to my SP. Have you tried opening it up and disconnecting then re-connecting the ribbon cable for the screen?
I did. My original kit came with an extra ribbon for the screen. I swapped it out and the screen came on for like two seconds before it went to black again
Have you tried reflashing the firmware? Looks more to me like you removed the battery and the firmware got wiped or corrupted.
I might do that. I went to bed and decided to give it a go again after work.
I tried redoing the firmware and it was not it. I just need to open it up and make sure everything is secure
Damn, hoped it might be an easy fix for you. Good luck.
That’s looks slick asf
Thanks. I am a huge green lantern fan and was going with that when I picked the colors

I would take this broken beauty from you. Looks amazing. Hope you get to fix it
Looks like it fixed itself. I just left it alone and turned it on last night and it works again
Awesome. I seriously will make a build like this one, looks amazing

Mod it! As in replace the screen. So many haters lmfao
It's a FPGBC. How would you mod it???
I’m sure there are replacement backlit IPS kits for it
The screen is already a backlit IPS. Honest question, do you know what is a FPGBC?
Yes, and I imagine it’s the screen that’s the issue and I’m sure they have replacement screen specifically for FPGBC…
Yes, there are replacement screens for it. But you're not modding it neither installing a kit when you're replacing the screen, because it was designed to use that screen.
My bad I consider adding anything not OEM (even replacement parts) as a modification
It is Oem for an fpgbc lol. are you sure you know what an FPGBC is??
I had assumed the Nintendo shell was OEM and the FPGBC motherboard and screen were added. I guess the shell is just for show…
[удалено]
You thought this BLACK shell was an OEM Nintendo shell? Tell me you don’t know anything about the OEM gbc without telling me lol
I mean, considering it’s a kit that you add onto existing OEM Game Boy colors…
