Oof. I was working on a Gameboy Advance last night I AGS-101 modded a few years back. Lost 2 resistors off the board that are really tiny that I accidentally hit while trying to resolder the wire for the AGS-101 light and the R13 resistor near the power swtich.
I got the gameboy working again by bridging but the system has a weird power issue now where when it powers off the system will not power back on unless you wait 10 or more seconds for the residual power to drain. The switch is a lot less finnicky now but I had to order some 0402 150 ohm resistors to replaceit. I had my hand slip and I one of my fingers briefly touched the tip of the iron and that hurt pretty good. Got a small blister ( 2nd degree burn ) from it. luckily it's really small and I'm more mad than anything I lost the resistors than I am that I burned my hand.
I know the culprit is R13 since that resistor is near the power switch and it's documented for fast power drain. Once it's replaced I can flick on and off the switch to my hearts content and have it power on and off.
