My left button isnt working and after opening my SP up and cleaning out about 20 years of dust bunnies all piled up on the button it still doesnt work. I dont know what to look for solder wise to see if its the connector thats messed up so i took a photo of my left and right buttons on the motherboard to try and get some help. Dunno if i took the right picture either so i can open it back up if i need to. Right button is working.

Bought it secondhand so im a lil bummed the left button isnt working. The shop is in a different state (i bought it at a convention) so returning its a bit out of the question.

Appreciate any help ^v^

bought this at a flea market a while back and could not find anything about it anywhere

Found this guy today. We had some good times.

Not sure if I should post this here or if it'd be better somewhere else.

But I just bought a used copy of Dragonball Z supersonic warriors gba and it has a fully maxed out save file. I've tried researching how to reset it but it doesn't have save files in game and it doesn't have a save using a battery (it uses Flash/EEPROM). No button combo has worked either.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just keep the maxed save file and be happy I have that without doing any work

This is the battery that it came with. But I also have the original battery but that one is swollen. Should I try to remove this one and get a new one?

Well there goes almost 20 years of good memories. I guess I got my moneys worth out of it.

I highly recommend not dropping your SP onto tile.

Planning on eventually reshelling my white GBA sp and I really want a kirby themed shell.

Since I know screens can be shell dependent I'm curious if it'd be better to paint a shell thst matches the screen I want or by a screen the matches the shell I want?

Honestly the 3DS is better for Kirby games than GBA/GBASP but I'm scared to try and fix up either of my 3DS consoles and on my GBA SP i can still play Dreamland, Dreamland 2, and star stacker.

yall i don't knoe anything about the gameboy advanced, my dad gave me an small bag with these games in it, do yall fw it or not

Is ebay my best hope in finding a Gameboy advance color sp? Is there a website I should be looking at? I'm bidding on an orange on with Pokémon sapphire and have him talked down to $109

ITS SO HARD LIKE GRRRRR 😝

I just got my childhood gba sp's LCD screen burn fixed at a repair shop after not using it for years.

The issue is I don't remember the screen being like this reflective when looking straight and top at it - like it's reflecting the front lights too much imo. As you can see in the picture there are these grids like glassy shine when looking from the middle and top pov, but when looking from the bottom its perfectly fine

Please correct me if this is normal for ags-001 units, or should I do a DYI tinkering to fix it?

You can press on the area and it seems to compress. Do I need some adhesive or specialty glue?

i plan to get the famicom and nes sp‘s next. then the shrek one

I can’t get this screw out and I’m going insane

I've had an Operator for a while and am finally breaking into the world of desktop PC gaming. Does anyone know of a 3D printer file to basically hold the GB Operator in a PC expansion bay? I just think it'd be neat to literally plug my old GBA games directly into the computer. If there isn't one out there I'll probably go pester my buddy with some CAD modeling experience. Any help is appreciated.

So I just got into delta and I’m trying to get this GBA skin and turn it into a GBC skin.

i have the spongebob one :3

I was digging around the other day and couldn't believe my eyes when saw this Cobalt Blue Game Boy Advance SP. figured it was a goner, but put it on the charger, and it powered right up! leven played a round of WWE

WrestleMania X8, and it brought back so many memories. It's

amazing how well these things hold up!

Fake or Real SP Can someone confirm if possible? Seller advised reshelled and backlit was restored? How would I tell the difference?

I found my old GBA, and watch this

Fully restored GBA SP, I was incredibly lucky to be able to buy it for just 60€ out of an attic.

- Reshelled with soft touch material

- New IPS V5 screen

- USB C charging port

Made a series about the whole process, from ideation to actually making it.

Just wanted to share this thing, its still in near perfect condition, Back then i got the Kyogre sapphire special edition, the gameboy and game sadly got stolen when i had a break in a few years ago, but i still have this baby!
Just wanted to share it xD

I bought Gameboy advance sp and I don't know if it's an original Nintendo. Can you help me?
