I made a post a few weeks back about this problem.
The game just lights up and wont play, but will play just fine if you turn it off then on real quickly. I thought it was the 5101 but someone said it would not play games if the 5101 was bad. The I got a message to check the Diode near the Batteries.
See the pic and follow along....
I have it on Diode test mode on the multimeter.
Red lead on the right side
Black lead on the left.
Reading is -625 (yes negative)
If I switch the leads I get no reading at all.
This diode has been replaced with a larger one, but a negative reading? Is it bad?
Thanks!
