Greetings fellas, I've come in here looking for an aid, and honestly a miracle. Im trying to fix a DS Lite with a massive sentimental value, with power button ripped clean out with all 4 pads off it. Hours of research have lead me to a topic from 2012 (sadly i cant link to it on new account) which gave me a lot of useful information some time ago, yet doesn't have information which im looking for.
tl;dr of the thread - in order to turn the console on you need only pads 1 and 2, which are shown on the 1st attachment
I managed to solder a wire to mentioned transistor (?) yet soldering to circled area for pad 2 gives out no results. (attachment 2, sorry for quality)
For now plan is to turn it on with a button embedded somewhere in a case, as i don't think i will be able to refit the button
Now with explanation out of the way time for my question. Does anyone happen to have a schematic for the board, or know a different place (to which pad 2 goes) to which it would be safe to solder?
And please, spare me with 'buy a refurb' answers. For as long as this one can be fixed ill try what i can.
