Introduction

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.

    Bonjour @lachainede96340 D'après les instructions du tutoriel, il s'agit d'une vis Phillips (ou cruciforme) #00 de 4 mm de long. Ces mesures devraient suffire pour trouver une vis de remplacement dans votre stock de vis ou en magasin le cas échéant.

    • Lift the battery cover up and remove it from the device.

    • The screw will remain attached to the battery cover because of Nintendo's design.
