so a friend of mines ask's me to take a look at his sons DS Lite. the problem is, it won't power on. i checked the F1 and F2 fuses with a multimeter and they both read good. also, it charges fine and the charge light stays on and everything. my friend tells me that before it crapped out, the power switch would work intermitantly. sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. i asked him if it was dropped or got wet at all and he said "no". i had a spare DS Lite for parts and i swapped out the power switch. NO DIFFERENCE. any suggestions guys?? the keep in mind, the case has never been opened but the unit is fairly old.
so, things tried and tested:
-used different battery
-checked F1 and F2 fuses.
-took off the cover of the power switch to check for bad connection
-changed the power switch
-disconnected, inspected and reconnected all ribbons
-clean any residue from MOBO and ribbon connections with alchohol
