Hi everyone!
I received an untested original DS (NTR) yesterday in the hopes of repairing it.
I did the usual, check the fuses, clean the board etc. but I still get nothing.
I don't have a charger so I temporarily soldered a usb plug on so I could charge it.
The charge light is lit when I plug in the charger, so that seems to be fine, but still no power.
I found that leaving it charging for an extended period of time (15 minutes or so) would allow me to push the power button and the power LED would come on for about a split second.
I would have to wait another period of time before I can get the power LED to come on again.
Now, after doing an inspection of the board and finding no faults (fuses are fine, no physical damage that I've noticed) I reassembled the device and threw the battery back in, to no avail.
After 5 minutes of it sitting there, the speakers started making some ungodly crackles. They weren't super loud, but definitely noticeable. Unplugged the battery, and now we here.
I've come across some weird issues on the Lites before, but the speaker randomly going zeep zorp? that was somewhat concerning.
Some things to note:
-The battery is a bit swollen. Yes, I do plan on getting a new one.
-This is my first NTR, and as such I don't have any spare parts for it (other than parts compatible with the DS Lites such as fuses)
Thanks in advance!
