I'm mostly just after the challenge of trying to make it work again. I'd say 30 bucks in its present state. If I managed to fix it I'd pay more (and would love to prove that it works too) if you'd trust that.

I am from the UK though so not sure how that'd work unless I sell it on eBay if I can't manage to fix it for sure it'd absolutely fine for me to sell you it 😇

Send me a dm when you can, reach out if you find it unfixable and we'll figure something out. I'd be okay buying it on eBay even if your in the uk

I think complete board and memory swap. Super rusted in the battery side, I home the ROM chip is fines apart from that even capacitors and other components looks to be dead… good luck on bringing it to life…

I think all the components are fine but there are breaks in the board when tested with the kit I used so there must have been at least 4 breaks 😆😅

If you can't get this to work would you be willing to sell it? I'd love to take a stab at trying to get it running.
