If your GameBoy Advance SP AGS-100 or AGS-101 has a deteriorating shell, or if you’re looking to customize it, use this guide to replace the shell.

Before using this guide, plug in your console and charge it for a few minutes. If the battery is too old, it may start expanding and could potentially explode. If it starts to swell, you’ll have to order a replacement battery - which you can find below:

Remove the hinges from the original shell. This is the most difficult step, as it requires a lot of force to remove the hinges.

Apply pressure with the pointed end of a spudger from the inside, pushing out with plenty of force. The hinges will likely fly out of the shell a few feet; this is normal.
