Firstly, You wanna be a tad more specific, like, how old is it, and also, have you modded it, if so what have you done to it?

It may just be the charger cable, perhaps the fuse blown in the charger? or the charger slot in the gba broke? or moved out of place?

Once I know those factors, I should be able to help more.

Good Luck,

Hey,

Your battery is most likely fried / dead / not holding its charge.

Buy a new one, and install it.


It would be very unlikely that your charger is faulty. Test it WITHOUT the battery in, and plugged into the DC Charger and turn it on to see if it is the Adaptor.

Thanks

I opened it up several times and closed it several times until the screen became inverted... all wierd different colours and then it just won't charge, I tried moving the charger slot to place but it would not work, I only want to know so I can take the backlight out, :)

Well take the Backlight out :wtf:

And if the screen is inverted, then you have messed something quite badly - which, I do not know about.
