    In this video, I'm showing you how to fully reshell a Nintendo GBA SP console. In this video, however, I am using a Hispeedido GBA SP backlight mod, which is hand now the easiest and highest quality backlight mod currently on the market. It is a completely drop-in screen, so no trimming the shell and soldering is completely optional!

    Heads up anyone that’s replacing their shell. Use the power switch that included with the new shell as the original won’t fit in most reproduction shells.

    This is so cool.
    I've been needing to reshell an old AGS-100 and replace the screen on an AGS-101. The replacement parts have been sitting in my Amazon wishlist for over a year.
    Your screen is cheaper than the 101 screens I've found, your lighting effects are so cool! and you show us how to install it on top of it. I'm very glad this popped up in my feed.

    This was absolutely helpful, thank you! Especially with the little hinge trick, during reassembly. 50 year-old asswipe and this totally helped my first reshell!

      50 year old asswipe... damn I can't even begin to imagine how hard n crusty an ass that's been waiting 50 years to be wiped would be like... butt it sounds like a real doozy!
      You are a real one handling business no matter how long an ass has been waiting for its wipe!!

    Thank you so much. Each other resell video takes apart the whole top shell part but I just needed to replace the part of the shell that has the holes for the buttons since I have an OEM SpongeBob shell and I don’t want to take out the rubber screw covers. Thanks!

    Great instructional video! I appreciate how clear it is! Nearly done re-shelling haha
    Question, I tested the batteries and they work. However, once I start screwing everything together, the battery is not connecting. What should I check??

    • @vetrogaming
      @vetrogaming  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Either the battery contacts are not touching anymore somehow (possibly turned the wrong way?), or something on the motherboard broke while trying to reshell are my first two assumptions

    Hey, Iwas just wondering where you buy these scratched up consoles and how much you pay on average per each. I am thinking about re-shelling one myself but i dont know where to start looking so any advice would help me alot!

    Instead of using the tweezers as a spudger tool a few times... you could also just use a spudger tool haha. Good video though!

    Any recommendations where to buy shells from ?

    What would the battery life be if we use the IPS screen vs a AGS-101 screen? Assuming you use an original battery. I’ve seen that using the IPS makes it so it only last about 2 hours which isn’t ideal at all :(

    I have a question, what’s the quality on a lot of these cheap re shells, do they feel similar to the proper thing or can you tell straight away? I’ve got a cheap sp off eBay in rough condition but I want it looking nice and feeling very similar if possible, cheers.

    • @vetrogaming
      @vetrogaming  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Most respells won’t be as good of quality as the originals with very few exceptions

    Can you sell custom GBA sp? Instead of the regular GBA from your website?

    how can you test your screen before installing?

    I want to do this so bad as I opted out to just purchase a pre-built gba with an ips screen but I have 0 experience in pulling a part retro handhelds and 0 experience in soldering lol

      So did I amount a month ago and but am now on my 4 handheld reshell. It is surprisingly easy and especially with the new screen it is worth it.

    Is Ags-101 and 001 different motherboards and system..?

    I have a question if I’m doing this but keeping the original screen do I have to solder

    What kind of wire are you using?

    • @vetrogaming
      @vetrogaming  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It comes with the kit, but it's something super thin like 30 AWG

    anyone have issues with the D pads not working correctly after reshelling?
