Problem, probably with the battery.

For my charger have broken, I just recharging the battery of my GBA SP with a universal charger. I do not know if the battery burned. When I put in the video game, nothing happens. I tested with an original GBA charger from a friend. The light "on" lights, no exit sound and the screen does not turn. Can anyone help me?

What charger did you use before? Did it fit the connector properly?

Alexandre Fernandes Nicoli, there are a few things that could be causing this. The very first thing I would try is a new battery. Then check the connector, look at it closely and see if there is any definite damage, broken pins etc. If it looks ok and you have a new battery, see if it charges. If not then you have to take the GBA apart. check for lose connections on the charger. Use a multimeter to see if it gets power when you plug it in. The GBA has two fuses, marked F1 and F2 ion the logic board. Check those with a multimeter and see if you have continuity. Replace those as needed. Hope this helps, good luck

Image shows F2. F1 is on the opposite side of the board.
