Selected User Reviews For Charger for Gameboy Advance sp, GBA SP Charger Cable Cord for Nintendo DS Original Console(NDS)/Game Boy Advance SP
It is funny to realize my GBA has some old stuff on it, and to remember why I had it. There were Donkey Kong Country levels Almost 16 years have passed since I last touched it. The 16th! I ordered this item and it charged up right away. My addiction to this thing has returned and I have no problems.
I was looking for something like this that does just what I need. One that is USB so that I can plug it into my external power bank was ideal for me to have a spare Nintendo GBA charger. I remember when I first plugged in the GBA side to my console that the plastic came off when I pulled it out. I was able to put it back on, but that was alarming at first, as I was worried I had broken it before I had even started playing with Although it isn't as good as an OEM charger, it gets the job done for the price and I am not too mad at it.
There seems to be some problem with the Gameboy. It was dead for at least a decade. I had to unplug it and plug it back in about 100 times to get the charging light to stay on. To ensure your gameboy starts charging right away, you should try unplugging and replugging it as well as purchasing a replacement battery (available here on Amazon). You'll be amazed at how fast the charger works once everything is in place!.
I received it in two days, and it was on my doorstep the next day It has been three days since the last post. The item was at the edge of my doorstep when I left my apartment, so I am not sure. When I bought it for an old beat up GBA SP, it did not charge at first, but after cleaning the ports and battery, it is working great now. According to reviews from other buyers on other listings, there are a lot of complaints about people getting the wrong item (or just ordering the wrong one). According to the description, this is precisely what I expected. It does feel a little cheaper than my modern smartphone charger, though that's only true when compared with a cable. The SP arrived early, and I was able to charge my phone. For me to give you a 5 star review, that is all that is required.
I have one concern though—the red light never turns on automatically, indicating that the phone is charging. As with others, I must wiggle it around to get it to charge. The product may not last me very long so I do not know how long it will last me in my opinion, but it was worth the purchase and it was delivered quickly. Now that I have my Game Boy back, I will be able to enjoy this classic antique with friends.
In a way. The charger was purchased to replace the one that stopped working on my original GBA SP. I sometimes have to plug it in for it to work. Occasionally, the charging light doesn't come on and I have to remove the game and plug it back in multiple times in order to use it. Notably, the charging port doesn't fit well into the adapter, it takes effort to turn the adapter on and off. If compared to the original gameboy charger, it does not feel as nice as it should. I think it is a pretty good compromise, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
This worked fast, but it broke the first boot process and the GBA SP wouldn't charge or turn on with a game installed. Buying is not a good idea.
This is a simple and easy to use charger that will work with your Gameboy SP and can be plugged into any power outlet. So far, it hasn't caused me any problems.
