Follow this guide to replace or upgrade a dead or worn out battery in your Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP.
Your Game Boy's lithium-ion battery has a limited lifespan. If your Game Boy Advance SP won't turn on or dies quickly, it may be time to replace the battery.
The Game Boy Advance SP uses JIS screws. If you use a non-iFixit Phillips driver in JIS screws, you'll risk stripping them. iFixit's Phillips bits are designed to be compatible with JIS screws.
If your battery looks puffy or swollen, take extra precautions.
