DS won't turn on (not a broken fuse)

[xpertguitarist13]

I bought a broken DS and the problem is that it won't turn on. I've tested the fuses using the resistance setting on a multimeter, and both show around 7ohms. I tested the  battery to see what the voltage was (it's supposed to be 3.7V) and the multimeter showed 2.82V. So I tried to charge the battery by plugging in the unit. When I tried to plug it in, the light that said the battery is charging flashed, and then went out. I tried to turn the unit on when it was plugged in, and it didn't turn on (which I figured would happen. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

First I would try a different battery.  I have had many bad batteries with my ds lites.  Then if thats not it maybe check the motherboard for missing chips.  Other than that I dont know.  I have a huge pile of broken motherboards that I dont know whats wrong on.

I pulled another battery from a DS that I know is working, and it doesn't work. Is there anything else that I can do?

Not that I know of sorry.  Possibly could be your bios but im guessing its not.  maybe check to make sure theres no missing chips on the motherboard.  you might need to get a new one

Oh yeah mate, if the BIOs aint there, then it wont turn on period. That usually happens with me, I put the Ds back together and just see the wifi chip staring back at me in the face. If you're willing to, take a picture of your motherboard, or else take a ds lite thats working, apart, and check if they look alike.
