    • Using the tweezers, gently pull the ribbon from the logic board.

    DO NOT USE TWEEZERS ON THE RIBBON CABLE. DO NOT PULL ON THE RIBBON CABLE LIKE THAT.

    theres 2 brown tabs on each side of the connector. You slide both those up and the ribbon cable slides right out with no need to use tweezers. Don't risk damaging your ribbon cable.

When no sound in GBA. Is the broken speaker the most common problem ? Or some SMD part in circuit board ? What to do if the new replaced speaker emits no sound ?
