Weird problem with Sega Mega Drive Switchless Mod

[Released: 1988] The Sega Genesis was Sega's most successful console; though Sega has never released a total sales figure quote. Several add-ons were created including the Sega CD and Sega 32X which extended its capabilities.

Weird problem with Sega Mega Drive Switchless Mod

Post by /genesis »

Hey! Yesterday I tried modding my PAL Sega Mega Drive Model 2 VA1 with a Switchless Mod Kit from consolesunleashed: https://www.consolesunleashed.com/product/sega-mega-drive-model-2-switchless-region-in-game-reset-mod-kit/
At first everything worked fine and I had no problems switching through the different regions. But after around 10-15 minutes of testing the console it wouldn't let me switch through the regions and the reset button stopped working in general.
Today I tried the system again and it suddenly worked again without any problems, but after some testing the same thing happened again and the mod wouldn't work anymore. I resoldered everything again, but nothing seems to fix this issue:
Here is a picture of the mod: https://imgur.com/a/DPNQp3z
And here is a short video of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/y3dvaHJ
I would be really thankful if someone has any idea why this is happening and how I could fix this?
Thank you in advance!
