Well, my families GBA turned 20 this year, but sadly I think I may have broken it a few years back when I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to put a vice grip on it to apply pressure to the battery to get Mario Kart to work (because for some reason applying pressure to the battery pack was the only way it could read that particular game, so I did have a reason). One time I probably squeezed it a little too hard and ever since it has had this unusual problem where when you try to play Game boy color games or Game boy games it will not display the Nintendo logo. It will just make the sound, but never launch the game. Even with the GB mode switcher held down this still happens. I cleaned the switch as best I could with some Alcohol and let it dry for a bit but it still does this. I even tried a different battery but nothing happens. I know its not the screen because it can still display the Game boy logo in Advance mode, but it won't read games anymore. I checked all the cartridge pins and they aren't bent in any way. Any suggestions?
