GBA Fuse?
I am almost certain that I blew a fuse on my GBA. I tried a Li-ion battery pack that said it was 3 volts, but after blowing a fuse on my GBA, I realized it was 6 volts. Atleast that's what I think happened. Can I bridge the fuse? And if so, where is it?

Anyway the fuse will be labeled F1 or F2 etc. Yes you can bridge it with solder.

Like almost every other part on the board. Lol.JakeTripplJ wrote:I've been looking and I can't find it. What does it look like?
Its very hard to identify a surface mount view by sight. That's why I said look for the board part #. It should say f1 or f2 next to the fuse. It will be a very small black rectangle.

Re: GBA Fuse?
Ok I'll look. Do you know in what part of the board it's on?

Re: GBA Fuse?
Wow, ok. I found it. It was right by the power switch, and the reason I couldn't find it was because it was right next to a protruding piece that cast a shadow over it.
