How to Get out of Sleep Mode on a Nintendo Game Boy Advance
Released in 2001, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance included a built-in "sleep mode" feature. When an operator activates sleep mode through in-game menus, the handheld console deactivates the screen and speakers and switches the internal CPU to a low-power processing mode. Players can deactivate sleep mode at any time to resume play without the need to load game data. Unfortunately, many players are at a loss about how to deactivate this power-saving feature.
Instructions
1
Hold down the "L" and "R' shoulder buttons of the Game Boy Advance simultaneously.
2
Hold down the "Select" button.
3
Release all three buttons. Sleep mode will be deactivated.
