    Installed this and it's great, love the fact the green one is similar to the standard power management board, so to the untrained eye it looks standard. I will say, charging with the DC jack, I get a LOT of fuzzy noise out of the speaker while the GBC is powered on, even with the volume all the way down. Is this a problem like old caps or is it normal? Annoying the lipo I got had really short wires so I had to extend them which was a pain.

    • @NatalietheNerd
      @NatalietheNerd Місяць тому

      Yeah, while charging and playing you will get static due to the way the stock amp is wired

      @ would/ does the bucket amp improve it?

    • @NatalietheNerd
      @NatalietheNerd Місяць тому

      Potentially I'd like to test it to be sure. The problem with the original amp is it's wired directly to the battery voltage as input and as the battery is charging this voltage wouldn't be stable and would create a lot of noise. Cleaning the headphone jack and a new volume wheel could potentially help too if there is noise when the volume is down

    Hello Natalie! I come to you with a question, but not about this mod in particular, but you're edit to the Bucket Mouse GBP Color Type E revision. You say in the edit, "The only differences is there is an added 2.5V LDO (NCP161ASN250T1G) and a couple more capacitors and no RAM", and you include that nice iBOM website showing a nice guide when putting this together. I'm a complete noob when it comes to understanding these electrical parts, and just with the footprint and value, I can't find out which parts to order off of the Mouser website (I'm using this website as it's the one Bucket mouse includes in his write-up to order parts). When I enter the value and footprint into the website,, there are multiple options that range in voltage and I can't figure out which to get. Do you have a list of extra capacitors needed? I'm assuming they are just more of the same capacitors that the original mod uses, but I'm unsure. Any help on this would be really helpful! Love your mod vids too, they have helped me a bunch feel confident when doing this myself!

    • @NatalietheNerd
      @NatalietheNerd 2 місяці тому

      www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/onsemi/NCP161ASN250T1G this is the LDO, you need an extra 0603 1uF and 100nF (also know as 0.1uF)
