When a Faulty GameBoy Advance SP Is Tricking you

Picked up a faulty GameBoy Advance SP from eBay for $65, which only greets us with a backlight and nothing else. It's also sporting a replacement shell that's seen better days, complete with a sizable crack.
But that's all part of the charm. This is the kickoff to a series where we'll be modding this beauty to unleash its full potential.
Our primary goal? To breathe new life into it, ensuring it's up and running and ready to outshine its former glory!
