Hi
I'm trying to repair the GBA SP of a friend. It's a blueish-purple color. It has no visible damage anywhere. I cannot turn it on.
When plugged in, the orange light lights up and it charges forever. I assumed the battery was dead, so I bought a new one. The GBA sp then charged for like 3 hours, and then the led vanished.
When I try to power it on, nothing happens at all. I thought the issue would be with the power switch, even though it looks almost new, so I opened up the GBA and triggered the switch on the motherboard by myself. Nothing happens either.
What could the problem be, and is there another way to turn on this GBA SP ?
The motherboard looks clean and without damage, on both sides.
