GBA Capacitor & Switch Replacement Guide
Рет қаралды 1,342
Күн бұрынThis faulty Game Boy Advance won’t turn on because it has leaky, old capacitors which have destroyed the switch! In this guide, I show how to disassemble the GBA, safely remove and replace the surface mounted capacitors, and the do the same for the switch. Hopefully, it will help to repair your GBA too!

I actually ripped one of the pads for the big capacitor since its glued unlike the others. Would definitely recommend to anyone watching this video or others that recommend twisting the big capacitor off, to not do that and use a hot air gun or hot tweezers if you can, which will safely remove the large capacitor and not be a huge gamble to replace safely.

Do I have to remove the motherboard from the shell? I have a mod and I needed to solder wires to the board but don’t want to desolder it.

6:18 that's why I prefer to open up the original switch and clean it, unless it's too far gone like yours of course.
