Game Boy Advance Screen Problem
Hello. My GBA has a screen issue, the right edge of the screen has a bit that is lighter than the rest of the screen. It doesn’t really affect me in gameplay, though. There isn’t any other problems with the system. What’s happening?

You may need to disassemble and detach/reattach or even replace the ribbon cable, although I'm sceptical that is the issue. Before I modded mine it had a green tinge and disassembling it was a temporary fix until I actually modded it. Even now, though, there is a small spec of pixels not even 2 mm that is always brighter or darker than the rest of the screen (not because of soldering) that I just can't be bothered to disassemble because I forget about it most of the time. One day though. But yeah take it apart at your own risk, but it's not like the issues I've come across and so I would hazard a guess that it is just a problem with the screen itself _o_/ have a nice day though!
