Key Features

  • Vibrant, clear red plastic gives your classic SP a stylish retro-futuristic look.

  • Made from high-quality, impact-resistant housing built to withstand long gaming sessions.

Specifications & Compatibility

Suitable for standard Game Boy Advance SP AGS-001 and AGS-101 consoles. Aftermarket IPS screen compatibility depends on the shell; trimming or an IPS-ready housing may be required.

Not compatible with the original Game Boy Advance (AGB-001), Game Boy Micro or Nintendo DS. Check the model number on the underside of your console before ordering.

Installation & What's Included

What's Included

  • 1x GBA SP Full Housing Shell (Top, Inner Screen Frame, Bottom & Battery Door)
  • 1x Full Replacement Button Set (D-Pad, A/B, Select/Start, Power Switch, Volume Slider & Shoulder Triggers)
  • 1x Set of Rubber Button Covers & Screw Caps (Clear Accent Pieces)
  • 1x Set of Silicone Conductive Rubber Pads
  • 1x Rear Cartridge Slot Metal Shield
  • 1x Rear Model / Serial Sticker (AGS-101 style)
  • 1x Hinge & Latch Springs with LED Light Pipes
  • 1x Complete Screw Set

Installation

Replacing the full shell involves carefully disassembling the console and transferring the screen, circuit boards and controls into the new housing. You’ll need precision Phillips and tri-wing screwdrivers, along with plastic opening tools, to complete the installation.

Handle ribbon cables and connectors carefully, keep screws organised, and check that all buttons move freely before final assembly. Previous experience with console repairs is strongly recommended.
