Hi! I got two Game Boy Micros and one of them stopped working.
It's definitely not the battery - both batteries are functioning fine on my other Micro. It is also not the ON/OFF switch - I have opened that up and gave it a thorough clean.
When I turn the faulty Micro on/off nothing at all happens, it's totally dead. (with a confirmed, fully charged, genuine working battery)
When I plug it in to the (genuine) charger whilst the power switch is in the OFF position the select/start buttons go blue for a second and then go off - that's with both a charged and a discharged battery so it looks like the faulty Micro is unable to charge the battery? The only thing different when connecting to the charger whilst the power switch is in the ON position is that the screen flashes white for a blink of a second (no sound) and then goes black.
I also looked at the motherboard and cannot see anything obvious i.e. dirty, broken, burnt, disconnected etc.
Any ideas?
