Two decades of the barrel plug being pushed in, pulled out and knocked sideways works the jack loose from the board, until the console only charges when the cable is held just right, then stops charging at all. This is a direct replacement charging port for the GBA SP. Solder it in and the system charges normally again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this fixes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange charge light only comes on when the cable is wiggled or propped up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo charge at all with a known-good charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose, rattling or wobbly port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent or pushed-in port from a drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA console that runs fine on a charger but will not hold any charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold as a \u003cstrong\u003esingle port\u003c\/strong\u003e.
