Game Boy Advance SP Wire-Free Dehum Dehiss Kit - RetroSix

Bricked my spare SP. Followed the video, but I guess I messed up somewhere? 🤷‍♂️. The screen upgrade was easy to install and worked on my other sp perfectly though

Bought one and installed it. Now my gba sp is bricked. HHL should retire this product since seems like im not the first one to lose his console to this garbage.

I now have two gba sp that will not turn on after following steps of such a simple install

I'm not too pleased that I went from having working GBA systems to bricked systems.

I dont remember reading anything about this product being something that will damage my personal belongings

I got this for one of my AGS-101 because I didn't want to with soldering the tiny capacitors on this one. The flex PCB makes installation a breeze. All in, maybe 3 minutes to install including the time to warm up my iron.

The only issue I have with this Rev of the PCB is that it didn't fit quite perfectly on a AGT-CPU-01 and I had to use a small jumper wire to get the pads soldered to the top of the power switch.

Despite the reviews of GBA SPs blowing up I had no issues. I installed the CleanAmp 1.2 and it was super loud, but incredibly noisy. Lots of static, hissing, and buzzing. It was unplayable. I then installed this and it cleaned up 90% of the noise. I now have a nice and loud GBA SP and it only gets noisy at the last 15-25% of the volume slider, but nothing worse than vanilla GBA SP sound.

For anyone claiming this is snake oil it's not. If it's not doing anything for your GBA SP then something isn't installed right or another component is failing. It can be really easy to bridge an SMD cap without realizing it. The pads are incredibly small and I use magnified goggles to do stuff like this. Once you get get the two caps down the power switch is easy. Make sure you use flux and do a swiping motion towards the caps like in the install video.

This doesn't seem to do anything to clean up noise.
