my gba sp doesnt power up.

check on the batteries.. its working fine
checked on the charger .. ok!
i even opened it up and checked the F1 or fuse, and its ok too!

i know how to solder and all but i cant find the source of the problem.

What happens if you click the power button on?  does it do anything?  becuase if the leds come on for a second and then powers off its your fuse

maybe your screen got mess up. have you try it with out anything being in your gba slot?

where is the fuse located?  is it the "f1" part?

my gba doesnt power up when i click the button power button.
but when i insert the charger, the led blinks for a second then it powers off again.

Yea that sounds like the fuse.  The fuse should be labeled F1 and there could be a fuse called F2 also, like the DS.  try bridging F1 first and see if it works

darn i cant find the f2 fuse.

Their might not be one on their.  I know the DS has F1 and F2 but not sure about the SP  did you try bridging the F1?

my gba had similar problems, after i fix the fuse, it would not charge. i needed to use somebody elses gba to charge my battery. any way to fix this prob?

[stingray1059]

ive already managed to fix the prob, there is a F2 fuse located at the back of the board of the GBA.

now it is working after bridging the F2.
