GBA ASP turns on, hear sounds, but nothing on screen. Backlight is working but only faint vertical gray lines show on screen. When a game is in you can see the faint lines move but no image shows on the screen at any time.

If you can hear sound then the problem is most likely your LCD screen. look at the screen under a bright light. if you can make out a faint picture then your backlight is out. Usually this means your screen needs to be replaced. replacement screens can be found on ebay for about $25
If you cannot hear sound or see anything on the screen then you have a more general motherboard failure of some kind and should bring it to a service technician.
mslynn, you have either a bad backlight or backlight inverter board that changes DC to AC to light the backlight.
When the unit is taken apart you will be able to tell.
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?
Hi it sounds like the screen is faulty or your batteries are flat which I doubt you can buy a second hand GBA for around £15 on ebay this should then be quite straight forward to switch screens. hope this helps follow link
