GBA SP fuses?

Post by palmertech »

I have 3 GBA SP mobos lying around. 2 of them stopped working during modding, and 1 just came broken. 2 of them just wont turn on, and the charger only gives 1 charge LED flash. The other one will not turn on, but charges batterys fine.

From my experiences with DS lites, I would bet that it is a fuse that blew. However, I cannot find ANY info on where they might be (Or documentation of the GBA SP mobo in general). Any help with where the fuses are, or how to find them?

Fuses are marked with F1, F2 and so on. After 30 seconds of looking or so I could find only one fuse on my SP mobo, situated south east of the A button, near the cut out corner.

Edit: When looking for fuses in general, you're likely to find them near the PSU. On an SP, the whole south east part of the board (Looking from above) is dedicated to the PSU. (And the PSU is generally close to the battery connectors)

Dude, you rock! They work now! I found the other fuse, it is located southeast of the charge port on the opposite side of the board. Woo Hoo! Many, many thanks, you get a mention in the project I am using this for.
:D
