My sp will not charge, I am not sure if it is the battery or something else

Game Boy Advance SP - Charging Light Won't Display If the orange-colored charge light on your Game Boy Advance SP is no longer coming on when the A/C Adapter is connected to your system, please use the following troubleshooting steps.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Make Sure the Game Boy Advance SP Isn't Already Fully Charged
If the battery is already fully charged, the light will not display when the system is plugged into the AC Adapter. Play a game without using the AC Adapter for at least 10-15 minutes, then plug the AC Adapter in, to see if the light comes on. If it does come on, the battery was fully charged. If the light still does not come on, see Step 2.

Make Sure the Outlet You Are Using Works
Plugging another electrical device into the outlet is a good way to check if the outlet works, or that the outlet you are using is not controlled by a nearby light switch. You may also want to try a different outlet.

Try a Different Licensed AC Adapter
If the charging light doesn't display, try a different AC Adapter, if possible, to determine if perhaps the problem is with the adapter.
- If a different AC Adapter works, you will need to get a replacement AC Adapter from our Online Store, or by calling our Consumer Service Department at 1-800-255-3700.
- If a different AC Adapter doesn't work, or if a replacement AC Adapter is not available and the lights will not display, we recommend having your Game Boy Advance SP repaired. Check out our convenient repair options.

Lately, many GBC games have hit their age limit. there is a small battery inside each cartridge that allows your game to be saved. follow the instructions below to replace it.

My pokemon gold won't save it says I can but when I turn it back on it says new game again.

there isn't a way to bring back a corrupted Gameboy game save. The reason the save has corrupted is because the small battery in the game had died. Replacing the battery might fix your game, but it won't bring back your save.

How do you know a Gameboy color pak is out of internal battery?

Well if the gamepack says new game only when you turn it on and it won't hold a save either.

My game will save, but when I turn it back on, there is only the "new game" and "options" displayed...I can't continue from where I saved.

there isn't a way to bring back a corrupted Gameboy game save. The reason the save has corrupted is because the small battery in the game had died. Replacing the battery might fix your game, but it won't bring back your save. Well you could use a memory stick for the game boy color and advance and orginal gameboy then instead.

A button malfunction

The problem is most likely that the button is phisically broken. You could try disassembling the Game Boy to see if the button can be replaced. But with such a old system you would be better off looking at some garage sales for a "new" used game boy or buy one from somewhere like gamestop.

Cleaning is not the solution. The switches have to be removed and have new ones installed. this needs soldering. If you don't have any experience I recommend finding someone who knows about electronic repair
