I Fixed It Again!!! And This Time For Good!!

Are you saying that after replacing the diode, the GP32 doesn't start, but the power light comes on?
If this is the case, does the backlight come on aswell, and does anything appear on the screen?

With the GP32 switched off (i hope thats the way), and the multimeter in this way, these are the results:

C57 --> 12.9
C67 --> 13.8

I dont know if this is the correct way to do the reading, please let me know,

The multimeter was that way

Those readings look to be around normal.

How about the Inductor located at L1, what is the reading on that?

Also, have you tried to start the device with a fresh set of batteries?

Also is it possible for you to take a few more close up photo's of the bottom left of the board, and also the area located near the battery compartment?

Thanks

​

I dont know how to read from L1, it always reads zero! I test it with the console switched off (i suppose that's the way), and all the components soldered to the pcb.

I have just tested it with 8 pairs of batteries some rechargeables, some alcaline, alcalines are not fresh but near new, with no results

I have done a very good, very close up photo but i cannot upload it right now, i'll try to upload it tomorrow.

THAANKS to YOU
