My GBA AGS-101 now has a weird color problem

[Mikef1]

Hello,

My GBA AGS-101 was working fine up until a few days ago when the screen colors now don't look right.
See these 2 pictures: The 1st is from an emulator on my PC, The 2nd is from my GBA SP.

......

The Golden color looks greenish on my GBA now

Any ideas why it just started doing this?

Thank-You, Michael

Modded screen or stock?

does what I describe in this thread sound like the issue you're having? I.e. can you see the screen changing it's tint during bootup?

Hi,

Shadow#1 >>​

The GBA was bought on ebay 10 years ago, so I'm not sure if it was a rebuilt unit. The backlit screen looks original.

The boot up 'Gameboy' screen is normal.

It seems to show a greenish tint only on certain colors.

Thank-you, Michael

Nevermind my post then, I misinterpreted your original post and assumed you had a 101-modded ABG, which is what my issue was. While mine was fixed by swapping out the converter ribbon cable, your's is probably not as easy. To be honest, I might not be the most versed in the GBA hardware, but my best quess would be that your screen is simply dead/dying.

Probably a good idea to wait for other peoples inputs first.
