GBA #001 – 95% New Build

I wanted a personal GBA with all of the newest hardware so I bought a GBA from eBay that included 3 CPUs 4 RAM and an original motherboard that has those unpopulated. I purchased a new IPS MAX display from FunnyPlaying.com as well as the case, motherboard, buttons, lithium battery and supporting accessories.

Assorted Game Boy Advance CPU and memory chips removed from donor boards on a blue work mat

I chose the best two and soldered onto the FunnyPlaying PCB in Black/Gold
