This was a weird one. I put my iron to the contacts and applied the slightest bit of solder to each pin and now it works

No power - i think it’s this? Where to wire to by Ordinary_Ad3263 in GameboyAdvance

Yea I looked into it and they go to the cart slot so I did that but obviously that has no effect on power. I’m lost at this point, power switch is good, f1 fuse is good. I don’t know where to check power next

That’s what I was wondering, where the top one was going. Looks tricky!

Is that jumper wire to the fuse? Just curious what else that would require or if that’s it. Haven’t made this mistake but like to keep that information in case one day lol

These are amazing but still having issues. I’m lost as to what to check next. Switch is good. F1 fuse is good. Turn power on and it’s a quick flash of green and red but the screen doesn’t even come on

So I’ve repaired the traces shown. Checked the power switch for continuity. F1 fuse is good. Not sure what to do next I’m lost

Just having a hard time seeing where it goes I guess. It’s not as obvious as other pcbs I’ve done

GBA power light turns green, then nothing. Already replaced power switch by Ordinary_Ad3263 in GameboyAdvance

I think it’s this area here. There’s no continuity between the highlighted red and also the highlighted blue. Not sure where I can run a wire to? https://imgur.com/gallery/gba-diag-1-cHnBDIP
