yup found it. holding the down arrow + A+B while turning on the gba with the supplied usb cable attached boots her up into usb bootloader mode. Device shows up as JZ4750 USB Boot Device.

flatbed scanner doesn't seem to be working properly any more. Ended up taking some decent pics of the board front and back. The pics are pretty damn big so i didn't bother adding the img tags to these. Click the links below to have a look.

I like that - would almost make a good dev board - has most appropriate bits n pieces, although 88,89 for uart appear to be disconnected.
Can I bug you for a photo of the box and the plastic case also (so I can try find it locally and buy one)?
I'm assuming this is the GBA one, as I don't see a tv encoder chip, and the SoC is going straight to what I'm assuming is the plug for the LCD top GBA panel + buttons?
Nice photo - everything is nice and clear!

This is actually the console board, i haven't opened up the GB board. Kinda weary on messing with the GB as it actually works and its somewhat fun.
Yeah, it's a crying shame that it doesn't work. I can hook it up to my pc and see the contents of the board. I spent a few minutes prodding around the board to look for any obvious signs of a jumper to enable usb boot mode.
Here is a link to the ND3000 commonly reffered to as the PII Station.

Gamebox Advance portable. The gamebox branded models play arcade games and have a micro sd card slot just above the cartridge port. The other Igenic based gameboy advance clones play gba and nes games and do not have a microSD card slot.

Names are sometimes meaningless unfortunately, as the factories make them, and importers name them.
I have found them though.
I may get one of the GBA ones, they're dirt cheap.
Seem to be a few variants already for the "GameBox"
Looking at retail here I think I found yours:
Gamebox (original) - which is made by 小霸王 in Shenzhen.
ND-3000 - I think just a different case?
NJ-3802 - 2g flash has wireless joysticks - 4 players, 315rmb with 4 wireless sticks (extra sticks +30) looks xboxish stylewise
NJ-3801 - aka the fugly model. - supports up to 4 players. 280rmb with 3 ps2 style joysticks (wired).
GBA SP "clone" 2G NAND - 138rmb (I think i order one to mess with, at that price, can't complain if its not actually the JZ soc..)
Has a RTC (real time clock), also a cheaper one avail with 1G flash for 99rmb
Press R for time set to assist with some games that didn't work - eg Pokemon in home screen.
Hold R + SELECT key to soft reset / return to home folder from emulator. A for confirm, B for return back
L+R for USB boot. Don't delete all the files in the NAND, or need to reflash.
Not sure I'll get any (except the gameboy one), as I think will be ok with current hardware for development (or get a proper dev board).
Some pics.
