1TeamRocket47Thu 1st Apr 2021 My GBA SP (101) has a weird problem where it only charges in certain places, and never in the same places. If touched, it stops charging. Any ideas? TeamRocket47
2Balta666Thu 1st Apr 2021 Most likely it is bad contacts either because of corrosion (water damage) or the solder pads are cracking. We are playing Banjo-Kazooie and Solar Ash. Click here for this month's PXGC list of games to vote next
3TeamRocket47Thu 1st Apr 2021 @Balta666 Hmm, any idea how to fix that? Haven't dropped it in a puddle or anything, but I did get it used. TeamRocket47
4Balta666Thu 1st Apr 2021 You can open it and have a look (GBA SP is not complicated) however if there are issues with the pads you'll need a soldering iron and some knowledge in soldering... We are playing Banjo-Kazooie and Solar Ash. Click here for this month's PXGC list of games to vote next
