Game Boy Advance SP USB-C Charging Mod - HHL

I was able to install it and get it to work on the original DS, I assumed it would work since it's the same charge port as the GBA SP, and I'm glad it did work.

I really like the mod overall! Install was relatively easy and the advantage of USBC chaging is well worth it. Though as a user I'd recommend more/better pictures for the tutorial the site offers. I think I could have aligned the port a lot better if I had slotted the alignment brackets properly from the beginning, which I did not do as I personally felt the guide did not give me a totally clear image of the installation process.

Incredible mod that makes it way easier to charge the SP. I have tested it and it works with USB A - C cables, C to C cables, as well as my 45w Steam Deck charger. The included spacer looks great too.

The installation was not too hard, I am a very novice solderer and this was my first time soldering anything other than a wire to a pad, and the most difficult part was removing the old port. I recommending having some flux and solder wick handy for this one.

Worked perfectly

The port installed easily and worked great at first but then failed after a few weeks. Tried opening everything back up and reflowing the joints and everything looked good, the port itself is just too flimsy to withstand regular charging, unless I just got a defective unit.

The other one didn't have pins, and the solder (not cold joints) wasn't strong enough to withstand charger cycling. This one has pins securing it in the charging slot which hopefully lasts a lot longer. Also this one only has one additional solder point for the positive connection, which makes it way easier to connect.
