I Bought 2 RARE GBA SPs But They're Broken - Let's Try To Fix them!

I Bought 2 RARE GBA SPs But They're Broken - Let's Try To Fix them! I bought these for about $100 each but they can sell for $150-200, if I can get them working. One won't even turn on and has some corrosion on the board I need to deal with. The other one the screen will flicker but won't turn fully on. I also have another Game Boy Advance that I'll try to get working, plus a GBA SpongeBob game to get cleaned up so it works too.

Just wanted to say thank you all for such great comments. I don't think I'll be able to respond to all of them but just know that I really, really appreciate them!

Remission!!! Yessss!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m stage 4 terminal, so likely won’t ever hear those words but still fighting for as much time as I can get. Whenever I hear of someone in remission it makes me extremely happy! Best news of the day for sure.

[baoboumusic]

0:20 that makes my day. Big hug from a stranger!!

[GMxTekhe]

Steve I am SO happy to hear you’re in remission. Actually jumped out of my chair cheering. So, so, so pleased for you!

[bagnga]

So happy to hear you're in remission! Congrats 👏

[TommiMakkinen]

Lost my mom to cancer few months ago. Glad to see you're recovering, Steve. Keep fighting. Your vids are keeping my spirits up

[Holycurative]

Having had to go in for a couple of cancer biopsies I remember how scared I was, it must be a million times worse to get that positive result. I'm glad you're in remission, you're one of the go-to people for folks starting out in repair and I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy your uploads.

As a fellow lymphoma survivor who has learned a lot from your video's over the years I just gotta say the start of this video brought me tears of joy and overwhelming happiness!!! YOU FREAKING DID IT MAN LETS GO!!!

My wife was diagnosed with CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia) in 2006. She's been taking meds ever since, and the meds just wipe her energy. She recently, within the last year or so, was told that her counts are almost at 0. It'll never be 100% gone as it's a bone marrow cancer, but the doc told her she's in remission! I'm very happy to hear you are in remission as well. When I finished college for electronics technology, one of the things that happened, was that motherboards became cheaper to replace than getting someone to replace a resistor, diode, etc.. Kinda felt like I went to college for nothing at the time. Fast forward 25 years or so and I found your channel. It was so awesome to see someone doing component level work, and I've stuck around since. So thank you Steve for what you do, and the content you make, so an old guy like me can enjoy the craziness of component replacement. lol. Thanks again, and congrats for being in remission!!

[ShoresyEsquire]

My grandfather lost his battle with cancer right around the time that you told us about your fight with it, so I was particularly concerned about your health for a while. I might not have been able to leave you a message previously, I’m SO glad to hear that you are in remission. I hope for your continued longevity and good health.

[EliteSnake]

Lets be real here ya'll 0:20 is the highlight of this entire video! Great to hear you are in remission and the internet is giving you big hugs!

[madman]

Hey Steve, I just wanted to swing past and say congratulations on your remission.
I'm sure the past year has changed you in many ways, even more so than the physical aspects.
I hope you are enjoying every day and spending time with the ones you love.

I sadly lost my mum to cancer 3 weeks ago, she had undiagnosed Metastatic Adenocarcinoma, so it was a shock to us all when she passed.

I'm happy to hear that you have beaten it and can return your life to some what normal.
Keep on trucking man and hold your family close.

Cheers for keeping up with the videos too, I've learnt so much from you, Thank you!

[samtherat]

I’m so glad you’re in remission! Shows that you’re not only capable of repairing electronics, but yourself as well! ❤

[JesusRodriguezCisneros]

I’m so happy for you! Fantastic news, I hope you enjoy great health. It’s very admirable how you kept the best positive attitude during your treatment.

[Stuart]

*God that is awesome news dude. Looking healthier already. I was diagnosed with Lung cancer in 2021 so I know how it feels only you didn't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Much respect*

[darkguardian]

I am so happy to hear you're in remission. We've never met but I've loved your content and often watch some of your old stuff. Here's to many more years of repairs and using the perfect amount of thermal paste.🎉🎉👍

[МаркПарфенюк-хд]

Hey Steve! I wish you all the best and happy to hear about your remission! You inspire me every day and every your video makes me more happy! You are giving a lot of knowledge to others and we appreciate that so much! I am learning a lot from your videos and making progress in my own small repairs! Thank you for your work and all the best to you and your family!

[kartaroundtheworld]

So happy about your remission ! May God bless you and keep you healthy!

[heshermunson]

Congratulations on the remission! You've been my company in more sleepless nights you might think and I'm honestly happy for you.

Can't wait to watch lots of new videos and see you thrive.

Big hug from Brazil.

[julioazevedo]

Bro I really have to say this, didn't watch your channel for awhile(maybe the algorithm pulled a trick), when I saw you were through chemo it backstabbed me, you're such a wholesome guy and your channel is awesome, I've learned so much just by seeing your repairs, seeing you slowly recovering made me really happy
