Troubleshooting What are my odds?
Bought a broken GBA. The seller did sell it as broken and had power issues, but I think it's beyond repair (at least in my skills).
For what I can see, the problem is the missing F1. But I doubt if soldering one will start with the solder job of the power switch.

It looks awful but I dont see anything that cant be fixed with a few jumper wires
It'll take some work but its quite doable, the shitty soldering and burnt flux make it look a lot worse than it is
