Slimline NGPC powering issues.....

Xian Xi · May 30, 2006

I have 3 slimlines and 2 of them for some reason do not work when I put batteries in them but if I plug in the AC adapter it works no problem. What causes this? And the batteries I used had no problem powering the 3rd.

Anyone know?

is the CR2032 battery (big round flat battery) still good? this can cause som strange probles as it's going out and no power when it's dead.

Ya I just figured it out before I read this, the slimlines for some reason need the 3rd battery to power on. The regular NGPCs just say that your sub battery is dead but it still poers on, weird. I dont know why SNK did that with the slimlines.

Well, I never opened my NGPC so I don't know about the PCB layout in that one, but I know that when a Game Boy Color is able to run on batteries but not with an AC-Adapter (the exact opposite to your problem), it's due to a blown fuse on the motherboard. Replace the fuse and it's back in shape. Just an idea from nowhere, but have you checked the motherboard for fuses that might have blown?

I already found the answer to this as stated above the slimlines need all 3 batteries to turn on as to where the older models just need the 2 AA.
