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.
DONT USE TWEEZERS It's 2024 and it still hasn't been updated despite it saying it got updated September 2024, the first comments correct. Please don't use tweezers

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 ?
I'm just going to say it. this guide kind of sucks fr. What am I supposed to do after the desolder? Why do I need the desoldering braid? Like you end it with step 8 "Slightly move the speaker to the right and desolder the two wires from the logic board." What temp should my iron be??
I have a funny playing screen I put in my GBA. I don't think that's relevant, but I have speaker buzz. Or it's noticable for me now. How can I get rid of it?
