Mother board does not provide power on battery port to charge it

I have 2 gba sp having the same issue, it is not charger, or battery related, neither fuse F2.

Dunno where to go to, to find out how to repair it.

Symptom : short red/orange light flash when pluggin it on the charger.

Then when controlling the battery port, no power at all or almost nothing 0.0….

I have been changing battery, charger, and swapping with other gba sp that run ok as expected.

Can’t find out.

I have been trying to test transistor on the mother board and could find 2 without continuity, but, comparing with other gba sp working well, it is the same.

I’m lost !

Help !!!!

Usually with devices like this parts aren’t really available on the market. I would recommend purchasing a new/used one.

Well a quick look at the internet shows that the parts are available, my biggest difficulty is to identify properly which one are broken and which references are in use since the datasheet for gba sp itself is difficult to find.
