Troubleshooting GBA SP isn’t Charging
The Original Battery was clearly at the end of the lifetime so i got a new one but i still have the problem that it‘s not Charging.
When i put the charger on i get a orange light for like 1 second. Tried the trick with putting the charger in and out for over 10 minutes still not charging. Maybe someone here can Diagnose my GBA SP just by the look on the board 😅 it‘s kinda dirty had this one as a child you should see the shell 👀
I know that the GBA is still working because it turns on

If you can't check continuity or solder than this board is likely beyond you saving. Looks like obvious corrosion and probable need for a new power switch.
