My Gameboy Advance SP has a battery charging problem.
Unlike GBA SP Will not charge even with new battery | GBAtemp.net - The Independent Video Game Community where 'it flashes the charging light on then off' my GBAsp does not show any life at all when I plug in a charger.
I bought a new battery and the battery does not charge on my AGS-101 Gameboy.
I've looked online but I can't see anybody talking about this specific issue.
Anyone have any ideas? This GBAsp with this charger used to work, there's no signs of corrosion on the board. Are there more things I can test to see if they are broken like fuses or diodes? Traces that should show continuity, or traces that should not?
Thanks!

- Both fuses F1 and F2 show 0 Ohm continuity
- EM8 shows continuity with about 0.1 Ohms on both sides
- The Gameboy plays and turns on with a charged battery in it, and the battery holds a charge when I charge it with an external power source
- As soon as I plug in the Gameboy to power, it stops working. Unplugging it does not turn it back on, only unplugging and flipping the switch off/on fixes it
- With the charger plugged in, there are 0.7 volts present at the battery terminals in the Gameboy. It's as if it never tries to charge the battery.
- No matter if there is a battery present in the system, or the position of the on/off switch, it pulls 30ma consistently when plugged in.
