Introdução

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.

Passo 1

Slide the power switch to the OFF position and unplug any cables.
If you have a game cartridge in, remove it.

Passo 2

Use a JIS 00 screwdriver to loosen the captive screw securing the battery cover.
You can try to use a non-iFixit Phillips driver in a pinch, but you risk damaging or stripping the screw. Push down firmly on the driver and twist slowly.

Passo 3

Lift the edge of the cover near the screw and remove the cover.
During reassembly, hook the tabs on the bottom edge of the cover into their slots and lay the cover into place.

Passo 4

Use your finger to lift the battery by the tab on its left edge, then remove it.
During reassembly:
Never reuse a deformed or damaged battery—it's a fire hazard. Replace it with a new battery.
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.
