FOR PARTS - Nintendo Game Boy Advance GBA SP Graphite Black System AGS 101

About this deal

This Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP in Graphite Black is the AGS-101 model, the later and more sought-after revision of the GBA SP. The AGS-101 model number distinguishes it from the original frontlit AGS-001. The AGS-101 features a backlit screen with significantly improved contrast and colours. It is an upgraded version of the Game Boy Advance with a compact clamshell design, and was the first Game Boy device with a rechargeable battery and an integrated screen light. The cartridge slot accepts Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, and Game Boy Advance game cartridges. The AGS-101 is known for being significantly more sought after than the AGS-001 model , making it a popular choice for retro collectors and hobbyists. This listing is sold for parts or not working, so it is ideal for those looking to repair, restore, or use the unit as a donor for components. The brightness button on the 101 model selects between two levels of brightness, Normal (Low) and Bright (High). Note that Nintendo removed the 3.5mm headphone jack from the SP , so a separate adapter is needed to use standard headphones.
