I will restore this broken Gameboy Advance to it's former glory and modify it with some modern updates. The console is has bad screen burn and won't turn on. After fixing those I found out it won't play Gameboy Advance Games. This can be result of multiple issues. Often it is because of a small lever in the cartridge reader that basically switches between the original gameboy/color and the advance. As always, if games are not being read it's good to clean teh cartridge reader. Another possible reason is fault in the CPU, which can often be fixed by cleaning or resoldering all the legs of the CPU. If these fail, the whole CPU could be damaged. In my case it seems all the oxidation and dirt caused an issue with the CPU and it played the games after cleaning.
To fix the screen burn, I simply replaced the polarizer. However, because the original GBA screen is very dim (this is why the GBA SP has backlit screen) I decided to install an IPS Screen. And because I needed to replace the shell I decided to 3D scan the original and recreate a shell that fits the new screen. This took a lot of tinkering with the scanned model and practically rebuilding lots of it. So I can't really recommend doing the same just to make one shell.
