Was taking the screen out of my GBA SP since its broken and found that its got a white wire soldered to it, should that even be there

Hi everyone, I've been a Gameboy fan since I was little. My parents gave me a dark green Gameboy Classic back in 1996. Along with that Gameboy, they also gave me a game. It was a plane that shot monsters (I remember one; it was a giant brain). I don't remember the name at all, and I can't find it. Do any of you remember it? Please, I'm going crazy.

GBA SP ags101, gave it a much needed shell swap.

Has anyone grabbed the digital edition and started playing? How does the battling feel to play?

I recently owned a Nintendo Game boy advance sp and It have a few problems.

First of all, when I charge It, after a few time the red led turns off and when I quit the charger and connect It again the red led turns on again.

Other issue is that it sometimes don't turns on unless i move the switch slowly and when It is in a medium point between on and of It shows de red led of low battery.

It's muy dura Game boy so I don't know if this is normal or I should return It.

TL:DR once I get the health and safety booklet would this be considered CIB?

I got this copy of Solar Striker years ago and only recently got the case and manual. I know I’m missing the health and safety booklet and will hopefully have one soon. I’ve never seen a legit sealed/CIB copy of a Gameboy game in person before and from my understanding most people threw away the cardboard box the cartridge came with when they got the game. Would this be considered CIB even with a repo case?

Thank you in advance!

It's on my pocket, color, and GBA. What's up with that? What does it mean?

The pins look fine when reconnecting cpu pins, they broke so I replaced them with wire the games still look corrupted and the ram pins will not move. I think they are good idk what else to check any thoughts?

New drum machine for gameboy. Work in progress

My gbp A button suddenly stopped working and the pcb is perfectly fine no oxidation nothing like that it just does not work. is there a part that I should clean or check to see if it works? I don’t have a multimeter

Picked up a pretty rare regional variant of Balloon Kid, DMG-BT-CAN-1.

I can’t find a single photo of this print anywhere online. VideoGameSage’s world gray carts CAN list has it as a confirmed variant but the list is text-only, and Game Boy Database’s production timeline lists “07/10/1991 : Balloon Kid - CAN-1” but their actual CAN page only documents the plain DMG-BT-CAN.

Anyone here have one, or seen a picture of one? Planning to submit to gbhwdb and GBDB either way, so if there’s a known-better documentation target let me know.

Really impressed with the system! Everything feels great, and it came in a very short time as well.

i bought some bootleg carts off of aliexpress - Pokemon Crystal works visually, but the clock doesnt run, nor does it save. Bought the parts to make my own clone instead LOL

pokemon yellow, though, is throwing me a whole new type of problem. What do you guys think is wrong here? The ROM or the battery?

Hey I dropped my Pokemon Emerald a while back and the part that actually holds the coin battery popped off the circuit board. Anyone know a reputable mailing repair for soldering as none of the local game stores can do it.

Okay I’ve gotta question and everytime I try to google it I just see battery replacement related stuff but my question is if I get a GB operator I can download my saves and then obviously replace my battery if need be and then upload my save back and boom another 20 years of pokemon fun but my actual question is can I download my save and then play it on my PC and then when I wanna take it on the go upload it back to my original cart and all the info be updated?

Just played my GBA for the first time. Loz minish cap is awesome. (also for some reason four swords is modded)

I had a previous post about how to fix it and a lot of people said it’s the battery. And they were correct! I just want to say thank you.

After sitting un-used for 15 years, I decided to restore my childhood gbp. Thankfully, child me left batteries inside it so I got to learn a lot of new things like reading wiring diagrams and repairing traces to resuscitate it 🙃

But since I got it to work I decided it deserved some TLC and some quality of life upgrades! It got a new IPS LCD, all new fuses and it’s USB-C rechargeable with the Giltesa Pro board!

Time to finally do what childhood me couldn’t:
Beat Super Mario Land 2!

Is there a way to remove the yellow discoloration on the tetris cartridge?

Gameboy advance it's the ph1 screw in the mainboard. Tried with rubber and pliers but nothings works.

I'm scared this might be impossible for me to do without screwing other parts up

Edit: i tried to superglue precision pliers to the screwhead and then twisted it out and it actually worked. Probably not the professional way to go about it but it got me to my destination of a finally finsihed mod! New shell and buttons, lcd touch display and usb-c loading

I have a working GBA SP. Was given a second recently and games get stuck in the console. Its not the carts as they play fine in my other GBA. I don't see any bent pins on board. Is it something to do with the thing on the side inside? I need to put something thin between cart and game to get game out

Buenas comunidad es una de mis primeras publicaciones pero quiero contribuír con el fin de que ah alguien se sirva está información en un futuro.

Compré un Gameboy con esta falla que no cargaba batería pero si encendía con una batería entonces pensé ah de ser alto simple como la bobina m8, algún fusible f1 o f2 o cualquier cosa fácil de reparar pero no fue así revisando todos los puntos y buscando información en internet no encontraba la falla llegué a pensar que era el ic de carga y lo retire de otra placa y nada seguía en las mismas y revisando la placa tenía algo de sarro por la parte de atrás de la Gameboy limpie y todo y nada y la falla estaba en los orificios donde pasan esas pequeñas venas de alimentación del ic de carga las pinche con pinzas antiestáticas y alcohol isoporopilco y por fin dio vida empezó a cargar los puntos eran los que van a resistencia y capacitores al reverso de la placa ojo el ic de carga tenía voltaje y tierra para mandar carga pero no mandaba nada espero entiendan aveses no me sé explicar bien...
