Hey.
Does anybody know any new/modern replacement module for the Game Boy Color DC/DC converter board, signed "U5"?
(https://i.ibb.co/FJKdxZm/u5.jpg)
(Main board is CGB-CPU-04, just like here >> https://gbhwdb.gekkio.fi/consoles/cgb/C18841471.html)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :yoshi:
I can't seem to find one that supplies power to the original LCD. Have you considered doing a screen replacement? Then you can use the available switching 5V regulators.
I might have a spare gbc motherboard somewhere i can pull a working regulator from, if you need it
Well, if there won't be any other option, I will definitely look into a screen-mod. Just trying to keep it as close to the "original" as possible, you know, for now.
Speaking of which - do you know what would be the best screen replacement kit out there which is still widely obtainable?

Thank you! If nothing comes out of it, I'll let you know :star:
Case is closed for me (at least for now...), but just if anyone else is looking for some potentially "unknown" pcb smd components, I believe this should help a bit:
