RÉSOLU : Why is my gba sp hinges so wobbly after reshelling it? - Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP

Why is my gba sp hinges so wobbly after reshelling it?

Hello. I recently reshelled my GBA SP to a extremerate shell due to the previous shell being low quality. Before, even though the after market shell that I had previously to the extremerate shell would close properly, clicking at 150 degrees and making that signature click when I closed it. Now, when i reshelled to my extremerate shell, it no longer clicks when I close it and it's also wobbly in general. When I try to close the GBA SP, the screen is angled above a little bit (Around 5 degrees). I have those universal hinges that don't matter which side you put them in and the hinges in general feel tight. Feel free to ask a question for additional information and thank you!

Hi!

Could be a few things.

1: The hinges need to be replaced. Now you stated that they are fine, if this is the case, then make sure that they are all the way in.

2: It's related to the shell. It could be like millimeters difference from your old shell, but could cause problems with the hinges... It's really difficult to see with the eye, but could be really a thing... If this is the case, you could use your old shell and if this is fine, then it's like 99% your new shell which need to be replaced.

Also as a quick question, would the warranty cover something like this?

Not sure, best thing to do is to contact them and explain the situation.
