An upgrade of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance, the Advance SP was released, in North America, on March 23 2004 with a square structure and clam-shell design.

LED flickers Red and Green during gameplay

Title. No clue why it does that but it could probably be because I have a crappy charger. I have to shove it in and wiggle it around to make the LED Orange. I checked the battery for the first time and noticed it was for the NDS. I can provide images if needed. Model is the AGS-101

Hi!

The first thing I would do is replacing the charger it self.

If that didn't work, then I would replace the battery.

Green means: battery is full or have plenty of charge

Red means: Battery is almost depleted.

So it's battery related.

An NDS battery should not be able to fit inside the Gameboy Advance SP. Can you please share a picture regarding the battery??

Thank you, I've already ordered a new battery and charger for it, here's a pic of the battery. Another update is that sometimes the light will turn red and then act like it just died, but when I switch it off and on again it's perfectly fine, like it just faked it's own death?

My pleasure! Nice :). When it's doing that, the battery is starting to die. I think it's a fake SP battery. NDS batteries are different (it's also not an original NDS battery). Please let us know how it goes!

Another issue I've had is that the charger doesn't exactly fit into the socket, I kinda have to shove it in and even then it won't charge unless I jiggle it a certain way, could that be because the charger is bad or because of a hardware problem?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

Could be caused by both, but most of the time caused by the charger it self. First I would try a new charger and see how that goes. If it's caused by the socket on the motherboard, then this one need to be replaced. You do need to solder if this one is bad.
