I got this today. a famiclone with an SD card slot from Renshun, the former Coolbaby company who disppeared for a while but have resurfaced recently

but there was this fucking metal weight loose inside which was rattling around in shipment and broke the ribbon cable off one of the 2 PCBs. even if I bridge the pins connected to the power switch on the main PCB it doesn't seem to work. someone spotted that C37 seems to have been broken off as well

@lion if the damage is a ribbon cable and a missing capacitor i can give a shot at repairing it, would have to guess at the capacitor value though

@lion it looks like it might just be a decoupling cap if that's between vcc and ground, nothing should be kept from working without it

@mavica_again i just managed to get it to work by shorting the power switch pins now, idk why it didn't before, but yeah fortunately the cap wasn't critical I guess

@lion lmk if you want this or anything else fixed, you know my address
