OK so my brother git mad and jerked my GBA SP the screen broke off the body along with snapping the screen cord. His mobo is messed up and won't charge can i take the two apart and put my mobo in his system?

yes

is the screen connected just like the psp with a connector

[asdfjkl;]

yes, but are they the same revisions? sometimes first revisions don't work with second revisions, but sometimes they do I guess that it's just luck if it works.

how do i tel the revisions, they both have the extra brightness if that's what you mean, well at least one did before the charger port messed up, and the other before it got snapped off

[asdfjkl;]

ok, then they are both interchangeable

There are two revisions of the GBA SP. There are mainly two ways of separating them.
1) By the model number. Rev 1: AGS-001. Rev 2: AGS-101. This should say on the sticker in the bottom.
2) By checking how the backlight works. (Well, a little late now, but maybe you can remember) On rev 1 it's an on/off switch. On rev 2 it's an high/low switch, ie, you can't turn off the backlight on rev 2.
Only parts from the same revision will work.

Edit, one more thought... Did you try swapping the batteries?

You know, you could just rip them apart and try. Its not like you're going to break them.

yeah but its the charger port that's messed up not the battery
