Mick Dundee:
try using an old credit card/id/gift card and some very thin cloth with a few dabs of alcohol if you cant get or don't have a cleaning kit.

The GBA is a pretty damned robust system. Of all of nintendo's non-DS systems, it is by far the toughest IMO. I think I have about 10-15 or so that couldn't be saved for one reason or another out of the hundreds that we modified over the last couple of years. I'm willing to bet that a little love can get t working.
What are the issues you're experiencing? I can help you diagnose and fix it if you'd like. I've repaired more than I'd like to count and there are only a few typical issues that they have which are very easily resolved with a couple of little tricks ;)

Besides not being backlit ; p The system seems to power up fine but just stays stuck on the boot up screen. No matter what game I try none of them play. The gameboy text comes up fine, sound is fine but then that's it.

That happened to me once and it was caused by filthy contacts. Hopefully I had a game boy cleaning kit. Worked like a charm :)

TDIRunner:
My in-laws went to Alaska for a trip and they brought this back for me. Not bad. :)
Also, I finally found one of these. I had a chance to pick one up years ago for cheap and I passed, which I now regret. But I finally found one for a descent price.
