Hello, I just finished my modded GBC, I :

  • installed the OLED kit
  • replaced the capacitors
  • changed the speaker
  • reshelled it

Unfortunately it is not booting my games, it stays stuck on the BIOS. Out of the dozen attempts with four different cartridges that work fine on another unit, it only successfully started a game once.

I think it recognizes them properly, as the Nintendo logo is clean, and I can change colors when o put a GB game.

Any idea of what can cause this ?

Was the cart slot working prior to the mod ?
Take a picture of pins that you can see in it, then : #1345671213795643442 message

I tried it just once before modding and it did work

I will try your cleaning method !

I gave it a good clean with your method, unfortunately it did not help 😦

A good clean of the power switch might be in order. I would recommend also to check the RAM pins for bad solder joints
