Why is my C38 Capacitor not working? (Pocket-Color Conversion)
I’ve built a few Pocket-Colors with success. However, I haven’t had audio in the last two I’ve built. It seems to be down to the C38 capacitor. It only reads 0.008V when powered on.
A Pocket-Color conversion requires trimming the bottom portion of the motherboard and makes use of jumper wires to fix the issues of not having a Headphone jack or DC Input.
I’ve went back through the original systems I built, found no discrepancy. I checked the tutorials I originally watched and verified I’ve done everything correctly.
I swapped the C38 from a known working system into a faulty system to no avail. However, now the originally good system is experiencing the same issue. Replacing the capacitors has not proven fruitful.
If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

@itsrikka are you swapping the same capacitor over to the different boards? Have you used a new capacitor or at least checked the one you are swapping?

For the first test, I did use the same capacitor but since then I’ve gotten a pack of 50 to test with. So far, none have worked. I’m about 8 in.

@itsrikka okay good. Had me worried there for a minute ;-). Let's see if we can find out what might be going on with that circuitry.
