Hi i have a Gameboy color and 1 advanced and they both have problems with the lcd screen it's so dark hard to se what's going on on it :) what's wrong ? can anyone help

you either play them under direct (sun) light or attach some kind of external light like a worm light for a game boy color/advance, but the light isn't evenly distributed. i have a halo light for my gb advance--better than nothing.
game boy advance sp has a front lit screen.
GameStop sells game boy advance sp for $40.
hope this helped some

My GBA SP was left out in the rain, and wont work

Yes, but internal composants or the screen could have been messed up. I wonder how your SP is still alive after that...

The right schoulder button won't work. can I repkace this

you can yes but I dont think you can buy the part, so you'll need to look out for another broken GBA SP.
Once you have another you'll need a "triwing" screwdriver (google it or ebay it!) to open the GBA SP

Once you're inside the button will pop out easily.

To be honest though, given the price of working GBA SPs on ebay, I'd just buy another. its easier ;)

GBA SP Backlight Problem

try putting a soldering iron on the joints of the backlight connection and melt the solder in place and do it for both contacts. Try this and it might just be a loose connection. Dry solder joints hapen all the time in most new electronics

GBA SP backlight off.

The SP has a small circular button near the display when the clamshell is opened. That controls the power to the backlight. Have you tried pressing that?
