Hi all,
I got a modded GBA with an IPS screen and I'm suffering from the power LED flickering. I've tried both standard AA batteries ( @ 1.5V each for 3V total) and AA rechargeable NiMH batteries ( @ 1.2V each for 2.4V total). I used the rechargeable ones first, and found on the internet that the lower voltage causes this but it still occurs with brand new standard AA batteries.
I'm thinking of getting a battery mod like this rechargeable USB-C one: https://www.retrogamingparts.co.uk/...c-battery-charging-mod?variant=40478556946521
Just wondering if anyone has insight if a 3.7V battery will fix my issue as I'm unsure when the GBA will *actually* die. With an almost *instant* red LED from fully charged NiMH, will the console *actually* die quickly or will it last until the batteries themselves run out of power? (They are 2500mAh Duracell NiMH).
And if someone could clarify something.
The site says "solderless" but also "gotta remove the battery terminals already in the GBA" and I haven't done a mod like that so how to go about that?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide
