So I got a new GBA SP the brighter version, but the speakers are kind of half assed and only work from time to time. I have another GBA SP with working speakers, but some buttons don't work. is is possible to transfer the speakers/sound from the GBA SP to the brighter version one? Any help would be much appreciated!

Check thw contacts on that one first. It works by 2 connectors pressed against the speaker via a small spring load. Of that doesnt work than yes your other speaker should be compatible.

I tried switching the speakers and still no sound. Guess that's not the problem

If you notice where the connectors touch the board. How they should press against it with a little bit of spring. Well try bending them up a tiny bit. Not a lot. And clean both the spots on the board and tips on the speaker. If thats not it there could be an issue with the volume slider. I would start there and beyond that your getting into the board.
