Gameboy Micro Problem Need Advice

[thegamezmaster]

Have two that when I turn them on if I wiggle the power switch when turning on, the start and select buttons light up blue then flash red for a instant then go off. Both work and batteries hold a charge. I sprayed both with contact cleaner and that helps for a while. Anyone else have this happen, if so any suggestions on what to do or are they ok? Thanks.

The power switch is bad, I have the same problem with my Ipod 5G hold switch and my PSP-1001 Wifi switch. Both of those use the same unreliable type of switch.

I wouldn't bother unless you have a limited edition or yours still has the box, in which case I would just pull one out of another broken one (like one that has a broken screen) also these are a pain in the ass to open without ripping a ribbon cable.
