Recent problems with my GBA SP.

[Nidogod]

I've had my GBA SP for about 4 years now, and it has just started acting weird. Every since yesterday whenever I play it, it'll randomly restart its self. Not like a soft reset where it goes back to the game's title screen and stuff, it resets back to the GameBoy Advanced logo. This happens completely randomly, and the battery is charged, and I'm 100% positive that I'm not hitting the power switch. Is this something fixable, or do I need a new GBA?

Well I've found that when you drop just about anything like an SP (or TV Remote, etc.) something inside of it might break or malfuntion. Like I dropped mine and now it's a lot quieter than it used to be. If you didn't drop it, it might just be wearing out from age. You could get it fixed, but it might be easier just to get a new SP. I don't think they cost a lot of money now and theres lots of different colors.

Actually, at this point if I have to either get this one repaired, or buy a new one, I'll just get a DS. I just want to make sure this isn't something fixable.

Also, I have dropped it before, but I never dropped it far at all, and I can't remember the last time I have. At the earliest it was probably a year ago. I take good care of my stuff.

No! A Nintendo tech expert told me NOT to blow into your games... This puts moisture into the games and may cause them to malfunction in the future.
