Im coming back off my holiday in the car, i play on my GBA on the way home. The LED representing the battery light starts flashing red, so i saved the game. I keep on playing to get the most out of the batterys and saving as i go. Then my GBA slows down, all the graphics and sound go into slow motion, so i knew my batterys were about dead. I thought this slow down was amusing, so i carry on playing for around 5 mintues in this slow down mode, then the novelty wore off. I switched off my GBA. I came back to play it this morning, with a AC pack (free from SR ;) and its still in slow down mode!! i tryed with new batterys, switched GBA on/off, removed/replaced a game, removed/replaced power to GBA, Ive done everything but its still in slow down mode like the old batterys were still in!

Anyone know WTF i have done to my GBA and is it repairable?

If it is, is there anywhere i can take it to be fixed?

Thanks You for any replies

p.s i want v-rally 3 now!! (without the slowdown!!)
