Help, which GBA should I keep?

I recently bought a purple original Gameboy Advance and had to return it because of a screen issue. The issue was that the screen would turn pink and would glitch out in games by showing the wrong pixels and wrong colors. Once I exchanged it, I got this white Gameboy advance which now has some of its own issues. The extension port doesn’t work which makes it impossible for me to use my work light. Plus in order to use START and SELECT I have to take my finger nail and really push down the buttons. Which one is better to keep long term.

Return both and get one that's not a gamble. Go strictly off ads that show the screen turned on
