Anyone have working DS guts? I need your help.

No, I don't want to buy anything, but if anyone has working guts to a Nintendo DS (phat, preferable, but lite could work) I need you to do a little test.

The test- unplug the wifi antenna (that's the black wire from a board in the top half of a DS to the back of the main board.) and see if it still turns on.

What I would like to see is that it turns on for a second, and then turns off.

My DS that I'm working on (See thread: Guitar Hero DS Mod) has a broken wifi antenna, it fell off, and then I lost it... I can buy a new one for under $10, but I want to see if that's the reason it's not turning on, and not something else.

EDIT: Actually, it's not turning on at all, but that could be because I don't have a charger and the last time I charged it was a few months ago at my friends house...

Do you have an SP? You can use an SP charger.

I have checked before, the wifi is indeed part of the hardware check. Do you need the piece for it? I have one that I can sell. Check my trading post thread I just made for the stuff I want.

I also have batteries, plus a few mobos if you end up needing them.

No, I don't own an SP.

And unless you can sell it for under $9, then I'm probably just going to get one on Ebay. (Which is $9 shipped)

it's probable that there is a broken fuse on the motherboard

No, there are no fuses. I thought it broke before, and bridged both fuses to try to fix it, but it turned out, the wifi antenna was unplugged. I plugged it in, and it worked fine. Now, I broke the wifi antenna.
