Hello everyone. I'm trying to fix a ds lite I found, but I'm stuck. At first glance you would think it is one of the f1/f2 fuses or both. When I attempt to power on, the green light comes on for a brief moment, then the top screen faintly flashes and it shuts off. You can also hear a click from the speakers as it shuts off. When I say the top screen "faintly" flashes, I really mean faintly. I wasn't sure it was doing it until I checked it in a pitch dark room. The screen flashing happens dimly and in a fraction of a second.
I opened it up and checked the f1 and f2 fuses with a multimeter, and they are working. I tested it with working screens from a flawless ds, and it still exhibits the same symptoms. The board does not seem to have water damage, but the ribbon connector from the original top screen (i used a new one to test it) does have burnt spot on the 4th and 5th wires where it connects.
It seems like a fuse did go bad and it caused the damage on the cable, but which other fuse could it be if f1 and f2 are ok?
Thank you for your time. any advice is greatly appreciated...
