Whenever I try to charge my DS Phat, the orange light goes on for a second then disappears. I've read some accounts about this, and mostly it was a blown fuse problem. But, since I don't have the equipment to check it, I wanted to get opinions from your guys first.
So, this is the whole story. My DS was experiencing some screen issues. The upper screen had those black lines across it. I sent it to a technician and he said that the LCD ribbon was the problem. I waited for about a week but he had not been able to fix it since there was no ribbon available at the moment. I became impatient so I took it back since I saw DealExtreme selling a replacement LCD ribbon for a cheap price. When he gave it to me, the ribbon was removed. So, when I took it home, I tried to put it back. I was successful at opening my DS but to my surprise, I saw the WiFi Antenna Module's wires were disconnected and there was no way to put it back. Thinking that it won't matter since it's just for the WiFi, I placed the cable and put my DS back together. When I turned it on, it didn't work. I thought that the battery was dead so I tried charging it. There, I saw that the orange light does on for a second then disappears. I've searched this in the internet, and read some about blown fuses and cable problems.
Now, I wanted to ask you guys if it was just a cable problem or is it really a blown fuse? I'm still waiting for my ordered cable to arrive and I'll try it as soon as I get my hands on it. For the mean time, I want your opinions about this. If it was a fuse problem, is there any guide specific for the DS Phat about fixing the fuse? Guide with pictures or videos will be very much helpful.
Thanks!
