Hi guys, I have a GBA sp that I bought used on the internet around an year and a half ago. The GB woks perfect but today I was going to turn it on to play pokemon when I saw an awful pink mark on the screen and when I turned it on it was still there, what is that and what should I do with it???
 
It's a dead pixel, there's nothing you can do, if it was a new product you could return it to the manufacturer, but it's an old product, and as they age this will happen more and more.

They did make a GBA adapter for the Gamecube so you can play your games on your TV where the pixels aren't dead:

And an original nintendo DS/lite can also play GBA games, and they're newer than GBAs so they're less likely to have dead pixels:http://www.amazon.com/Consoles-Nintendo-DS-Hardware/b/ref=vg_ds_blocks_consoles?ie=UTF8&node=11076561&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-5&pf_rd_r=1AQGT37HF4JE9BZH3HBT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1612751362&pf_rd_i=11075831

(3ds can't play GBA games)
