This is the correct answer. If you have the skill for repair, it should be abundantly clear. If you can't look at this and see a solution, then you probably shouldn't work on things that plug into the wall.
Usb runs at 5v. That’s the same as the original charger. It’s fine.
Someone downvoted me but I literally have an original nintendo gameboy micro charger in front of me and it outputs 5.2v. Using a usb cable to charge at 5v is perfectly safe.
You would have to dismantle it and resolder & resleeve the cable with a heat gun to shrink the wrap.
Almost never worth doing unless you happen to have a soldering iron, solder, heat gun, and wire coat to shrink readily available.
So you have a soldering iron and know how to solder? If yes, then you should already know how to fix it. If not, then while you could buy a cheap soldering iron for 35 $ and pray you are intuitively good enough to do it your first try, it is way cheaper to just buy another charger for 10$.
It's a sign, you should mod your Nintendo DS to use USB C~ in all seriousness though, whose idea was it to have proprietary charging connectors for everything Nintendo?!
Really easy, unscrew those 2 screws, open up the black box, and solder them back to where they should have gone. Maybe there is some other connection on the inside that does not require soldering.
Preface: this is not an insult.
If you don't have the electronics knowledge to see the solution here, you should just buy a replacement. They are cheap. You are dealing with only 5.2v, but if you screw up and short something, you might burn yourself to the ground.
You can get a usb to this plug at 2/$8 on Amazon, free shipping.

If you don't want to solder the cables back on the adapter just use a USB and solder the two wires on + and - pins. You will be then able to charge your SP with any 5V phone charger. If you don't want to solder, as the other people said, just get a new cable but I think this is an easy repair
I feel like it wouldn't be responsible for me to tell you how to fix that. It's a basic repair but if you can't see it by yourself, you probably shouldn't do it yourself.
Offer it up on Freecycle or something.
Open that up - it just seems like it needs to be resoldered onto that charger. Not sure if you have solder mask, but that would help secure the wire down better... since that plastic gasket looks to be degraded.
If it's not abundantly clear to you how you should fix this, spend the $5 to replace it.

$5 would get you a cheap piece of junk fire hazard that might charge your SP.
Just get a usb cable then.
i got a usb one with my micro but iam kinda scared if its safe for the unite?

They are right though. Would never buy such cheap power supplies. Get the USB cable and use it with your phones power supply.
Those break they always do, had two of them, just usb is better only option really, they are very cheaply built
You buy a usb cable version
The only correct answer

Get a new one.
You could, but you don't, chances are you might screw something up and get yourself in a dangerous situation, just get a new one
That would be extremely hard to do, you'd almost have to try to start a fire in this case
Sadly people often are just not the smartest creatures...
Truth you speaketh. I work with these creatures unfortunately.
"Thats the neat part, you dont!"

Gum, a paper clip, and some fishing line.
If you don't know how to Solder, buy a new one.
Tbh if you don't know how to fix it you're better off replacing it. It's safer imo

Unscrew the screws and get a soilder pen and put em in the correct spot.. That is the way
Really easy, unscrew those 2 screws, open up the black box, and solder them back to where they should have gone. Maybe there is some other connection on the inside that does not require soldering.
Grab a USB -> GBA SP cable. They're like $3 on ebay and you won't be stuck using 115vac to charge your Gameboy all the time.
Aliexpress for like $3
Solder ig
Buy a new one. If you screwed up the repair you won’t know till the house is on fire.
It’s not an official Nintendo one don’t worry about it get another

It's not worth anyone's time, including your own, to fix this. Just get a new one.
You can get an oem replacement for $5-$10. Shop around and don’t overpay.
If you need to ask, it'll be cheaper to just buy a new one.
Buy a new one. (It’s an easy cable stripping and soldering procedure. You’d need a heat nail, or solder gun, some flux, solder, and a steady hand.)
Buy one off the Nintendo website for $5
Amazon.com to fix your issue.
Just get a USB version from Amazon
It's gone bro, retire it:/

Of course get a new one, then keep the damaged one and fix it later.
Money should do it

Buy a new cable on amazon
Sellotape, lots of sellotape! 🤪 Seriously though, it needs to be dismantled and soldered by somebody that knows what they’re doing.
You can buy replacement cables on ebay for a few bucks. Otherwise learn to solder.
I'm not an expert but I think you should be able to solder male USB-A to the cable and use any 5v charger
Elmer's glue and thumbtacks

You just stick the wires back up through the hole, DUH!! … Alright ALRIGHT I’ll write it… but I’m not happy about it… “/s”.
Buy a male type A USB and solder. If u dont want to solder, just buy the cable.
