GBA Fuse?

Post by JakeTripplJ »

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?

Thought I had a pic of the board but I don't.

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.
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.

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

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.
