Why does my dsi no longer charge and has no orange light

I had a dsi which had a flashing orange light when i tried to charge it. So I took it apart and did not change anything except for making sure the ribbon cables were in place. However when i put it back together when i plug the charger in it doesnt even have an orange light. The battery is good, the cables are in place, and the F1 fuse is good. What happened?

Paul Habchy how do you know the battery is good? Have you connect an ammeter in between your charger and your DSi to see what amperage it pulls? How did you check the fuse?

@oldturkey03 Thanks for asking. The battery is good because I used my multi meter and it says that the battery has continuity and i that it has the appropriate voltage

@Paul Habchy have you checked the fuse for continuity and do you get power on the fuse? Can you post some good pictures of your board with your QUESTION Adding images to an existing question

The flashing orange light is usually caused by improper voltage. You reseated the battery and check your battery contacts?

@Paul Habchy does F1 look weird to you or is it just my old eyes?

It turns out that the F1 fuse is under the mini board that is aside the main board. After checking it for continuity, I found that was dead. Now after replacing the small board my dsi works! Thanks to everyone who helped out
