GBA SP Crash Fix - Diagnose & Repair Cartridge Read Errors
Two Game Boy Advance SP consoles I'd made on a previous project were becoming prone to crashing when any slight pressure was applied near the cartridge or when it was knocked. This was happening with larger original style Game Boy cartridges in particular. In this video I'll be going through all the different steps I went through in order to troubleshoot this fault.

Very good info! I’m looking into buying a new ds console since my DS Macro isnt usable anymore. Might end up getting a original DS in a ML shell.
Gorilla glue I presume?
Young James Thompson Laura Moore Dorothy
Got the limited edition red one the other week,love it,it’s awesome
Joe, your glasses are RAD, dude. Keep kickin' butt. Good video!
Good job! Does the GBA sound clean after changing the capacitors? I have a console that makes a constant hissing noise when the game is without music or ambient sound.
He man can you recommend an IPs screen for the DMG gameboy that doesn’t require the new board? I want to do a clear gameboy and those new mother boards look crappy in a clear shell.
You have to justify that price tag some how to your self now that you bought it 😂😂
I would have bought microfreak for that price 😢. Its extremely expensive for what it is.
Good tip is to put battery door back on shell before closing up the unit. The little metal cube that the battery door screw locates in can be loose in the shell and will end up rattling around in side when you think you’re finished.
Thank you so much. i was unsure if i could use it for my switch
Idk much at all about electronics, but I'm programming my own sound engine/virtual instrument thing for the gba and reallllly want to have line out like this, how difficult is this?
Great video as always, Joe. I just tried this on my own and it's really good! The winning formula for me was a combination of the felt on the corners and one layer of label maker tape on the buttons and d-pad. The felt just made it a tad too stiff on the buttons for my liking but now it's perfect for me. Thanks again, you rock!
The only issue I found with the Pokédex one is the light pipe housing doesn’t have the fitment of the original. Normally I’d use the OEM light pipe on these but they don’t fit the extremerate housing. And the extremerate one doesn’t fit as tightly as it should so there’s little gaps.
Wow, My controller is like new! I hope it lasts over time
@@mikago2752 good to hear! Well done!
What i don't understand, and something that comes up in all the video's about the nitro deck, is the reviewers making a problem about having to touch the screen to remove it. It's a touch screen! Just wipe your prints afterwards.
@@stijnvonck1431 I understand that, but that's the issue right there! Having to wipe the prints off
@@JoeBleeps they did include a cleaning cloth
Thanks for this fix. Now not only did the drift goes away, now the sides of my controller has an added feature, 'textured' for better grip (read: screwdriver marks)
@@micr0e 🤣 oops. Well at least it's working 😅
@@JoeBleeps true! Thanks!
There are only 2 RELEVANT systems: Using an original GBC with an IPS/OLED screen upgrade and a flash card. Or the Miyoo Mini Plus / Anbernic derivative. EEEEEEEEEEverything else is just poop. And for 98% of all people the Miyoo Mini is by far the BEST choice. Because its cheaper then an OLED upgrade / FPGA mod and it has important features the ORIGINAL and FPGAs are missing: mid-game suspension & resume, quick loading, fast forwarding, wifi network play, etc. All for 50 bucks. The only reason to NOT use a Miyyo / Anbernic is if you want nostalgia and hold a REAL gbc. In which case go for the IPS / OLED screen mod and a flash card (no one likes to carry 10 game cartridges around...). These overpriced fpga devices are just dumb. They are WORSE then an original and worse then a 50 bucks Miyoo / Anbernic.
Aaahh… WD40 contact cleaner - my favourite. Great in depth tutorial. 👏 I also have had success with an eraser pencil (lightly applied) for more stubborn dirt on cartridge contacts.
@@richardcahill3406 thank you!
Thanks for your hard work Joe
@@HarleyLikesMusicUK no worries! Was great to solve the problem in the end
Thsnks for a really great, in-depth tutorial, on how to fix these issues
@@TsiolkovskySportingLocks you're welcome! Thanks for your feedback 🙂
Finally I can enjoy my GBA, I'm disabled and a friend of mine made my GBA. I had 2 ocean blue transparant shells, Both of them were cracked in a week or sooner. No screws overnight or whatever. I have read a topic on reddit that Funnyplaying transparant shells are very bad because of the cracking Now I have a shell with a solid color from Funnyplaying with a sort of robuster plastic and now nothing is happening. I'm very very happy!
Glad to hear that! Sorry it took so long to get where you wanted to be
13:40 Your multimeter is possessed! \m/
Hahaha
I’ll say this from personal experience I bought a modded Gameboy with updated ips screen and everything, then I bought a Black regular Analogue Pocket aswell from EBay. No matter how you look at it , the Analogue is miles and miles ahead of : 1. Original Hardware 2. Modded Gameboys 3. Other clone handhelds . The build quality, the level of accuracy and Clarity of how these older games run on this handheld is unmatched . There’s nothing better out there .
I've definitely enjoyed playing on it a lot over the summer. Lovely console.
Thanks man
Welcome!
My smoke edition gets warm too after playing for extended periods. I play on it every day 😊 I think analogue will release an OLED edition next 😂
I really don't think a screen upgrade is needed on these, it's absolutely fantastic compared to everything else I've played on.
can these potentiometers you've used work on the Xbox series one pads? the ones that don't have the 3 buttons on the face of controller, previous versions
Yes, in fact I am planning a video about stick drift in general, where I will cover all this. It's the same potentiometers in Xbox one, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, PS5 and the Switch Pro Controller.
Cheers will definitely be watching that @@JoeBleeps
I thank u so much .u are the real deal. I just did it today .I almost gave up .but I saw your video about the up & down problem drift I was having and u are so right about the dirt or grease and the springs u have to lift them foward and u are so right love u man. thank u 🙏🏾 ❤ now I’m back in fortnite thank u so much .I’m glad you save me from spend 79.00 for another new controller.
Glad you fixed it! They charge too much for these controllers when they cheap out on the main components like this
@@JoeBleeps yesssss they do
I don't have original Joycons so I can't play Nintendo Switch Sports... I hoped I would be able to use my wii motes, but seems like it's a no-go. Joycons are really expensive, it sucks...
They really are so expensive!
So I just need a Xeno GC Chip, SD2SP2 Pro and the boot disc?
Yes that works! Or if you use the PicoBoot mod instead of the Xeno, you don't even need the boot disc.
@@JoeBleeps Thank you
ds is a handheld not a console.
It's a handheld console. So they get called handheld for short.
Even though the scope of this video is purely around displays, one point that should be assessed when choosing one of these options is that the FPGBC has a really good speaker with great basses for its size
It does, much bassier. I've heard some people say theirs is very muffled, I don't know if that's an inconsistent product or a difference of opinion but I was impressed with how powerful that speaker was.
I want do this but I’m scared lol
It's not too bad, you know. I'd recommend skipping that connection button though that was way too much effort for the result.
I used this to fix the same problem. Thanks for the guide!
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback and congrats!
How do I get hit and run
You'll have to search online or ask on the Discord server
😂😂😂😂
Since I use the SP404SX I had to get the SPO SX case before it made sense to change it to the MK2 case and I love it. It can store spare batteries in the silicone base. But I do want the PO BOY too. I'm a sucker for translucent purple.
They are all really great. I hadn't realised that about the spare batteries! Good shout
My mate has just got hold of an old school gameboy, so I shall be linking him with your videos 😁👍🏻
Thank you!
@@JoeBleeps we’re both hyped to hold one after so many years, and look forward to cleaning it up and future proofing it with your videos and advice. Keep up the great work man.
dont work
I asked ExtremeRate about 3DS shells and they said that they were working on them. No exact date but lets hope it is soon. I like their products. Good quality. They should also make PSP shells
I did a PSP re shell once, never again. The most stressful shell swap I've ever done! So many tiny parts, so many different sized screws haha! I'd love to try a 3DS shell.
These shells are bad. They are painted. It feels way worse than touching plastic directly. And the paint surface is a fingerprint magnet. I didn't try to scratch the case, but any damage too it will be dramatic, it will look horrible with no way to hide it. Also, the hinges feel strange because paint rub against paint. It feels dusty. It is not the fault of extremerate. The unpainted shells are perfect. But i would have prefered a red plastic shell with details painted. Not the whole shell painted.
That's a fair comment and a painted red shell would be good. I think the advantage (aside from the obvious cost benefits for them) of painting onto white is that all the colours really pop. I quite like the feel of this compared to the bare plastic shell.
Extra tip.. dont use gorilla glue... My controller looked like it had been infected with the cordyceps fungus..
