DS development > Shorted cartridges Vcc and ground

#106795 - Gneisbaard - Mon Oct 23, 2006 3:07 pm

I was working on a spi to rs232 uart, and i accidentally shorted vcc and gnd in the NDS carrtidge slot, so now the DS doesn't do anything anymore (no powerled, nothing).
There is no money to buy a new one at the moment.
Can anyone tell me which are components likely to have been destroyed?
I don't have the knowledge of electronics yet to deduce this by myself.

Never mind, i found a fuse next to the battery connector.
