My gameboy is charged, and turns on and it goes to the ‘gameboy’ screen but it wont leave that screen. HELP!! what do i do? how can i get it so i can play games on it?
If you’re turning it on while there’s a cartridge in the slot, then it means it’s not reading the game, and is acting as if there’s nothing inserted (whereas if there’s no game inserted, it’ll sit at the Game Boy screen since there’s nothing to read). Most likely in this case it’s just a matter of cleaning the contacts on the Game Boy Advance cartridge, preferably with high-grade rubbing alcohol (I’d recommend nothing lower than 97%). Have you tried staring it up with only one game, or have you tried a few?
Maybe try blowing out the game carterage on the bottom of the game
Ahah, I’m even surprised that this console is still alive and that you have it in your hands :) I don’t want to upset you, but the chance that you can fix it is very low. Because there is pretty old technology and even the master could not fix the screen, so you have two solutions. You can spend a lot of money and buy limited consoles or install an emulator with various games from https://romsie.com/roms/gameboy-advance . It seems to me that the second option is much more reasonable. I tried this method and it works great!
