This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to replace the power switch cover on your Game Boy Advance SP. The power switch of the Game Boy Advance SP is small and attaches to the motherboard itself. For this reason, the device features a much larger cover to help the user turn their device on and off. Follow this guide if your power switch cover is damaged or needs to be swapped out.

    • Use your finger to lift the battery by the tab on its left edge, then remove it.

    • During reassembly:

    • Your replacement battery may come with a plastic enclosure that slides over the battery.

    • Insert the edge of the battery with contacts at a slight downward angle—aligning the contacts with their prongs in the recess—and press the battery into place.
