Hey all, I recently got this motherboard off eBay in “working” condition, but when it came and I put it in nothing powered on. Is there something missing and/or wrong with it? I also plan to re-solder the battery contacts when I get the parts in the mail. Any advice?

It has been cleaned with isopropyl alcohol also

did you give the batteries a good spin when it was still in the case? even my dmgc wont power on sometimes if those are misaligned

#

also, do you have a dc jack to test gitting power to the system that way?

I don’t have a dc jack but I can try spinning the batteries

this dmg looks like a total winner tho otherwise

@fossil dust twisted the right-most battery and it turned on, I have no clue how this made a difference but it did

thanks a bunch man!
