Nintendo - Game Boy Advance SP - Onyx (Renewed)

Was packaged well and came with a charger! Super excited popped in a game I played as a kid 20+ years ago! Waiting to see what the battery life will do in the long run but so far it’s in great condition and I couldn’t be more excited! At first the game came up blank but I took the cartridge out and blew in it and it’s working and saving not bad for a game that has been sitting in a cabinet for 20 plus years!

When I received the product, the charging port and link cable port were both filthy. The audio crackled a bit at higher volumes, and not to mention the fact that the backlighting was much dimmer than it should be, the screen had lines across it.. and the damn thing wouldn’t charge. It just seems like they sent me a Gameboy advance SP as-is instead of doing anything at all to fix it up.

There were very minor scratches and scrapes on it but they weren't noticeable unless looking really hard. Some backlights are spotty but they still work. Overall 5 stars and great product.

I was skeptical at first, but after receiving the gameboy advanced sp glad to say everything worked in perfect condition. I charged it with the charger provided, it turned on, and was immediately able to get started with a game.

Battery life is around 2 hours with the internal light turned on, which is far below the expectation set by advertising for around 10 hours. I replaced the battery but no change. Something else is wrong to be causing it to drain so fast. Whether it's the battery, or some other internal issue, but game cartridges corrupt after a few saves. Doesn't happen on the other model I purchased from a different retailer. It's not game-breaking initially, just visual bugs, or character models changing on restart, but it becomes unplayable after 5-6 saves. Happened on the three different cartridges, that had no issues when using them on my other device. The bugs required a game-reset to clear out, but have since been fine, so long as I don't use this Game Boy to play them. Needs some additional work to get it workable without bugs occurring and fix the battery drain issues.
