GBA Flickers on and turns off
This GBA Flickers on for a second and powers off. Not sure what the cause is but here's the things I've ruled out.
- Capacitors have all been replaced
- Battery terminals are clean and bring power
- The power switch has been replaced and works
- F1 fuse works
- There is continuity from F1 -> 101 -> Q5
No idea what it could be so really hoping someone has the answer :) this is the target red edition so I would love to get it revived
-> here is the video on google drive since it wont load properly on here https://drive.google.com/file/d/150N2-g4...

Hi @sonrai
Does it do this if you use it with the charger connected to the device?

Hey @jayeff this is the original GBA not the SP so there isn't a charger port

@sonrai
OK Missed that, sorry.
BTW the video you posted isn't working. Try loading it again.

Just to add, this is most of the time caused by a broken Power Switch Solder Pad… please check the solder pads and traces regarding the power switch.
