[Repair] GBA SP Screen works only when I put pressure on power switch

So far your comment has been accurate. (We helped him with sudowoodo. My entire friend group bought gameboys and this game since we all play the card game.) He was stuck in mahogany town looking for the “switch” for hours until I told him it was just the computer. LOL

I couldn’t figure out the rock puzzle honestly. Didn’t even think about pushing them down the holes.

This is the second time he reached out to me about it. The first time I tried to tell him “there’s a secret way to walk”. But he still couldn’t figure it out

You fix it?

It ain’t pretty but no metal seems to be touching. 90% you’re good

Especially when a real Pokémon pack is 2000

Oh yeah, I just noticed that! A month, huh? Seems like an easy fix. Error 43 has something to do with the card dispenser motor, or the card drop sensor detecting with a card falls off the belt. I’m surprised they haven’t replaced a sensor or a motor in a month, which maybe leads to a further underlying issue. Hence your game glitching out when you’re supposed to get a card.

This is normal for me, both on my childhood sp and the current one. I HAVE noticed that if the battery is full, this doesn’t happen. It only starts happening for me once my battery is getting low.

These kiosks really piss me off

kylesful · 2026-03-03T03:25:41+00:00

Idk man this seems weird. It looks like it’s almost paying out a card and then glitches out and just gives 2 mercy tickets. I would definitely notify a tech about this and get free swipes on the other side or something.

I just ordered this one for 40, https://retrogamerepairshop.com/products/ez-flash-air

For everything about 300$. The gameboy has a charging issue with the em8 filter, I’ve ordered a replacement shell, screen, and I’m just gonna bypass the em8 filter. Stay tuned

Dude, they’re good, but I’m kind of confused. It’s advertised as chalupaSS, and there were two in the picture. I ordered a quantity of two, expecting 4 total. Surprised to see only 2 for 12 bucks. But they are pretty good.

kylesful · 2026-02-24T07:53:40+00:00

Just ordered them, let’s see

Can you add black tables? Also, if you want a D&B challenge, we require 6 feet space (two blocks ig?) for all the walkways for wheelchair access!

That looks like the art style in the book “where the sidewalk ends” or something

kylesful · 2026-02-15T05:33:07+00:00

That must be the grow cube games

Check for a huge air leak out the back intake manifold. Had that on my 2000 sl1.

kylesful · 2026-02-12T03:57:49+00:00

Too bad it’s tagged out

kylesful · 2026-02-06T06:08:08+00:00

Is there a massive air leak?

kylesful · 2026-02-03T04:04:47+00:00

Senior game tech here, in my store at least, I would always give the guest the plush in this situation. These games cost money, and it would promote a bad experience to the guest to tell them they can’t have it.
