Won't Power Up, No power light.

Won't Power Up, No power light. I've got a DS Lite I'm trying to get working. When it's plugged in, the amber light comes on like it's charging, but it won't power up. I've torn it apart and played with it for a couple of hours, and have some interesting details, but I've reached pretty much the end of what I can find info about....

same problem with a water damaged motherboard, still haven't found out what this problem is. Anyone ? Also its possible to boot the motherboard up by connecting the charger cable, and making contacts between the (pwsw/green) (for power) contact and some of the contacts above the leds. or connect it to the resistors, Normaly the motherboard should boot up when you connect pwsw and green, this does not work. But Yeah! There is something with INS- VDET and PVOD contacts, somehow on either other way when you press them and try to turn on the DS it turns sometimes on and off. i am surtain something here with the battery circuit is wrong, maybe, just throw it in the fryer. ^c^
