Gameboy Advance SP Internittent Power on (Simple Fix)

mmmh, yummy. those contacts looks a tiny bit oxidazed. every nintendo console suffer this problem. and also the microswitch shoulder buttons became like this inside. but those switch is a bit triky to open and clean. i use a drop of "deoxit" after i clean it. it helps prevents the oxidation in the future

Yeah, that was undoubtedly satisfying when I wiped the Q-Tip across the terminals. I have deoxit and completely forgot to add some. When I have time, I will take it apart and add some to the switch and shoulder buttons.

I also used to drip some Deoxit D100 into the switch and closed it, which worked pretty well. But if you open the switch after a week or two, most of the D has dissipated. So nowadays i usually add some of their "F-Series" fader grease to the power and volume switches. Unsure if that's really necessary but i have a better feeling about the longevity of this fix.
