I picked up a Super Gameboy for 3 dollars at a pawn shop last month, that's my best find so far.

Have you checked if a fuse is still working on your AGB? The fuse should be near power switch labelled as F1 or F2.

My thoughts exactly, both with the GBA and the Synth deal, haha.

I'm gonna try to salvage it, but it doesn't look bright, tho 10 bucks doesn't hit me that hard.

Also, if this thread is off-topic or misplaced, feel free to move/close it I just wanted to share my thrift store joy/ask for help with the AGB. :3

the gba is a lost cause, let's just get mad at carl for scoring a sh-101 for 15 bucks :v

I like how someone tried to start a thread like this and nobody cared and now everyone's posting here and its not even super relevant.

Extremely jelly! Amazing synth!

Got  a "Parachute" game and watch with the box and the polystyrene (box is pretty battered) for a tenner on sunday

I found an SNES for $3 one time. And a Dreamcast with all the goodies for $5, but it had a dead laser.

I bought an SH-101 in perfect working order at a tag sale for $15. That was probably my best score I ever had.

I know this, what I was trying to explain was that there is a little flicker, as if the screen had turned on, but nothing shows.
Language barrier, my friend. My mistake... lol.

EDIT: Cleared up the original post to avoid confusion. :3

If it's a gba it doesn't have lighting.

Aaaaand. No sound from headphones.

I think I'm gonna have to open it up and gut it.

It's GBA. Is backlight the right word? Haha. The screen turns on but nothing shows, is an easier way to put it. You see something happening, but stays white. (I'm thinking in spanish, my bad)

But speaker also being fried sounds like a probable thing, let me look for headphones.

Gba or gba sp?

wait, the gba has a backlight?

very blunt guess: the speaker may also be fried. try headphones or replacing it with a 100% working one and see.
