So I bought a WonderSwan Color recently and I love it. Works beautifully, IPS modded, having loads of fun with Gunpey and Dicing Knight. However, I want to edit the device settings/name/birthday, and when I do the usual hold start and power on, it just makes a glitchy screen with no noise until I power it off (pic 2).
So I took it apart, and saw a randomly soldered wire going from the start button (pic 1) and I have no clue what it is, even with mild research online, but I suspect it might be what's freezing the settings screen.
So: Does anyone know what this wire is? And/or would anyone with an IPS screen in their swan be able to confirm or deny if the settings menu is inaccessible with an IPS mod?
(or better yet if someone knows a workaround into the settings, that'd be immensely appreciated too 💜)
