I've had this Game Boy Advance for a long while now, it's been in a sorry state since I got it and it's never worked, however I need a working GBA for an upcoming project and wanted to see if I could revive this with a set of replacement capacitors I'd bought from ZedLabz a little while back.

So join me as I try to restore the power and functionality to a long abandoned console!
