Hi,

I've bought an used Game Boy Advance SP and when I tried to play an Game Boy/Game Boy Color game on it (Pokemon Red) I saw an darker area on top of the squared area of the image. It seems like some sort of shadow. My guess is that the cause of that might be the front light 'glass' that reflects the image. If i point a very strong light into it, it seems to disappear, and it is more noticiable in darker places.
Can someone with a similar unit confirm that this 'issue' is normal?
There follows two small pictures:

Mine does not have that, just checked and there is nothing lake that on it. It could be because it is a front lit screen. If its only on that one game its probably because of the game not because of the Game boy. Its probably a pretty old unit I have had mine like 14 years

Did you tested it with an GameBoy/GameBoy Color game? With an advance one, if fills the whole screen, so it would be very very hard to see any of it.
