Does anyone know where I can find the connector that the cart goes into on one of these flash devices?

There are lots of different brands which are NOT interchangeable for the most part. A EZFA cable doesn't burn data to a F2A cart.

Hmmm....what about carts? My XG2Lite seems to be read /writeen by my ez-flash writer. I popped them open and their insides seem identical.

I think that answers your question quite nicely. Some brands ARE interchangeable, others are not. It just depends on who designed them. An F2A is very close to the old first-generation Visoly carts. However, don't go thinking a EZFA linker will overwrite a F2A cart...

Hmmm...I have managed to get an EZ-flash writer to write to an XG Flash card. However, they seem pretty much identical in hardware. I've managed to use the drivers interchangably.

Of course, the original question implies that he want a spare GBA cart connector. (For repair or whatever)

It would help to know what cart he has in the first place then. He didn't say anything about that and replied directly to my post instead.

So what kind of cart do you have?

Sorry, I didn't say the cart I have. It is an XG-Flash2 Lite 128mb.

BTW, why does the GBA freeze at startup when I hold L, R, Select and Start?
