Gameboy Advance SP Problem

Post by TheSegaSaturnGuy »

I am having problems with an SP I have. When I plug the charger into the SP, the charging light blinks once then goes off and doesnt come back on. I cannot power the SP on when it is plugged in and it will not take a charge. The SP's battery is dead and I have left it on the charger overnight and it still will not take a charge. I have also tried multiple chargers with the same result. Does anyone know what the problem could be with this? Any advice would help me greatly!

Make sure the battery isn't bloated.

Thats really bad. The battery is busted.

Try looking for another battery online. Some were made back then and should be out there in some off brands.

Get a friends gba-sp and switch batteries to see if it works.

If it doesnt work the jack where the AC cord goes in might be damaged.

Lets hope its not that.

I have no idea on how to fix that.

Also maybe open it up an have a look and hope it didn't get wet or dunked in water.
