Purchased on Ebay for $60. Seller said it didn't start. Nothing else. Purchased battery from Nintendo for $20. Purchased new daughter board for $10. Still does not power on. It does, however, charge. When I plug in battery and charger, it displays orange light and battery reports a charge according to multimeter.
I have seen a youtube video where a man reflows the solder of the daughterboard's power ic. I am considering doing this if I cannot figure something else out.
/r/AskElectronics folks told me it was the voltage regulator that was having problems but I don't know where it is to check if it's functioning.
Besides literally replacing the motherboard, I don't know how else to approach this. Does anybody know any cause that would prevent the device from turning on?
