[CLOSED] Could not figure out why my CPS2 Darksoft kit not working

Just tested on 4 different microSD card i have

Sandisk 16GB - formatted using SD Card Formatter software
Sandisk 16GB - formatted using Minitool partition wizard
Lexar 4GB - formatted using Minitool partition wizard
Lexar 4GB - formatted using SD Card formatter software

All of them fail, only show solid LCD screen and no blinking or whatsoever.
I really have no god damn clue what's going on here.
My mate is getting his unit in few weeks, perhaps I can bring my unit over to his place to test on his b-board because at this point i really give up
 
Not if the LCD is displaying text.
 
From my experience, it's the card itself. You might just need a newer one. Once I changed to a newer card and used the SD format tool, it worked instantly.
 
anyone from Melbourne can lend me the working microSD card from your kit?

@The Spaniard do you happen to have a working cps2 kit? May I borrow your currently working microSD card in your cps2 darksoft kit?
If the card does not work on my board then I can rule out that it's not caused by microSD card.
 
If your card was bad and you did a firm upgrade, it may have corrupted it, so I advice of course to do a quick test loading 2-3 games, but try also a firm update again from a known-to-work microSD.

Sorry man I'm not in Melbourne at the moment other wise I would.
 
Thanks to @djcalle who helped me out today.
Found out that it's the solder joints for the keywriting wires was touching the resistor next to it or something that lead to a short
After cleaning all up, finally the text appears on the screen.

Next step is to get a replacement long pin (which has been snapped off).
@Darksoft would it be possible to buy replacement pin?

If you could please add one for me that would be great, as I broke one during the install:
I can grab it next time I see modology.
