Can't turn on

[Tobi]

Hello,

I think my Gamebuino is broken

I can't turn it on. I have loaded the battery a few hours. But if I want to turn the Gamebuino without USB connection on: Nothing happens.

If I connect is with USB and I turn the GB on, the lights are flickering. Sometimes I see the menu with some pixels. But then it is flickering again and the screen is blank.

What can I do? I see that the on/off Button was on, before I load the battery again. Perhaps the battery is broken? (I have nothing here to solder for e.g. a new battery).

Thanks from Germany!

Hi, do you hear a startup sound of any kind?

[Tobi]

No, nothing

[Sorunome]

Have you tried holding down C for some time while turning it on and then leaving it in the on position for like a min or so?

[Tobi]

Yes and if I turn Gamebuiono on, the power led is not on, too :/

Hey,
I'm sorry to hear you have trouble with you Gamebuino. It stopped working for no apparent reason ? Can you check the battery voltage with a voltmeter ? Does it turn on when it's plugged in ?

[Tobi]

Hey rodot, don't worry!
I don't used the Gamebuino for a few month. Now I want to play some new games. Want to turn it on, nothing happens. At the first time I was thinking the battery is empty. But I have loaded it some hours :/
When I plugged the USB cable in and turn the GB on, the screen and battery led is flickering.

But ... what can I do now?

Can you check the battery voltage ? Please answer me through the online shop so we can find a solution. I want to make sure each Gamebuinian has a nice experience with his/her console

[Tobi]

Thanks! I have sent you a mail.
