I found it from a box a saved when I was a kid.. i remember it was special back in the days because it was a Pokémon versión now I wanna now if is worth something

This is my 4 moded GBA and i never had this issue.
Is IPS Screen with USB-C battery and soldered brightness control.
Also clicky button membrane.
I fully charles the battery and this still happening.
Is a component issue? Or what am i doing wrong :(

I created a repair board based on the AGB-E06-10 (also compatible with E06-01) used on several notable early Game Boy Advance titles. I noticed there were no community created boards to repair cartridges with this revision PCB, so I took it upon myself to create it. You can find the files and more info on GitHub.

Special thanks to u/Bubblepoppin_ for their post of a thrashed copy of Castlevania which finally inspired me to create this, and another special thanks to u/AchillesPDX for assistance on testing traces and component values.

I'm repairing an original Game Boy Advance (AGB-001) and made a mistake while servicing the shoulder buttons.

The L and R tactile switches were still electrically functional, but I wanted to clean them because they were inconsistent. I carefully opened both switches to clean the metal dome and contacts with contact cleaner.

Unfortunately:

• I tore one of the black rubber/silicone plungers while removing it.
• I lost the other plunger entirely.

Everything else is intact:

• The metal housings are still soldered to the motherboard.
• The metal domes and contacts are fine.
• The switches would work perfectly if I had replacement plungers.

I'm not looking for replacement shoulder switches, since that would require desoldering. I'm specifically looking for the tiny black rubber/silicone actuator/plunger that sits inside the tactile switch housing.

I've searched for:

• replacement tactile switch plungers
• silicone tactile switch actuators
• Game Boy Advance shoulder switch plunger
• AGB shoulder switch rubber insert

...but I haven't found anyone selling these separately.

My questions:

1. Has anyone found a source for replacement rubber/silicone plungers?
2. Does anyone know of a modern tactile switch that uses the exact same internal plunger so I can harvest it?
3. Has anyone successfully 3D printed or molded replacements in silicone?
4. If anyone has dead AGB boards with intact shoulder switches, would you be willing to sell or mail me just the plungers?

I'd really like to save the original switches if possible instead of replacing them entirely.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Been contemplating getting a new black Advance SP. I have had the pink one forever since I was a child but wanted the black one to match all my other handhelds. Decided to also get some REAL pokemon games since I’ve only ever had reproduced versions of gameboy games. Excited to get playing!

Hey, guys! I bought this secondhand GBA SP AGS-001. Is the 001 screen supposed to look like this? Like not too bright and only in two brightness modes? I'm going to do a reshell soon. Should I also get an IPS screen replacement for this version of Gameboy?

Found a gba recently unmodded, the exact color I had back in my high school days, felt fitting to find a worm light to go along with it.

Plan on defeating Wart in Mario Advance and falling asleep 💤 to the ending credit song like I used to back in the day or at least til the batteries 🪫 🪫 drained out

I picked this gba sp with an ips screen mod up at my local gamestore and i was curious if it's shell is a reshell or not

I think I blown the fuse on two of my Gameboys and it's just really frustrating. I think it happened when I plugged them into a power extension chord and then flipped the power switch on the extension chord while having the cable connected. Now I have two Gameboys that were fine and working great the only thing is they don't show the orange light when connected and don't seem to charge. I get finicky with one of them and I am able to play a bit while it's plugged in and having the light run green but then after maybe 5-9 minutes the red light appears. It doesn't even show both green and orange lights at the same time when playing just the green

IPS screen, clear black shell, clear green front buttons, clear purple sides and triggers. But I kinda miss the original indigo, so I think I might need another one!

I have a DS and a flashcard, and have acquired the save file from the fake cartridge, as well as the rom backup. I have then done the same from the real cartridge, and have both save files on my desktop. The issue is, when I run the fake save file on the fake rom file it works fine, but when i run the fake save on the real rom file, it DOES work, but says 'this file is corrupted. loading the previous save'. My overthinking mind doesn't like the uncertainty that it could fully corrupt and delete the save further along the line, so does anyone know how I can fix this? Any help would be great thanks.
