Game Boy DMG Part 1 - No Sound - Fixing Ebay Junk 

Happy to see you making content again

Thanks for the nerd ASMR while I work on my model car. Love your videos bud. My girlfriend uses them to help her fall asleep. Thats not an insult she says your voice is one of the few things that relax her enough to sleep.

I think the troubleshooting part of these videos is my favourite. You teach us what to look for and what it might mean.

Thank you! I was able to fix my DMG sound issue by following your video. Learned a lot.

I repair vintage hardware like Amigas and ANY time you see that blackened trace, you need to remove the overcoat. I usually sand down to copper. Good work as usual mate!

Thank you, clear and perfect for the resurrection of uncared gems, im just started to repair my gb from 7 yrs ago, your channel is a big help, thank you❤️

super glad to see you back, love your channel

Tank you for explaining everything you do and for showing everything without speeding it up. That really makes it easier to understand and memorize. Really informative and enjoyable videos!

Finaly some more retro repairs Can't wait to see more.

Glad I found your channel. I like that people still fix things even tho we live in an era where everything is made to be thrown out and replaced. hopefully retro gaming systems will still be around in 50+ years. I'm holding onto my atari 2600 and all the games for as long as I can.

That vinegar "caballito" though (Here in Mexico we call those little glasses "caballitos", which roughly translates to "little horse"). Great video as well, I've learned so much watching your videos! Keep up the good work mate.

For the love of god. SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A HELPING HANDS!

I think I have binged most of your videos at this point :’) keep making videos :)

just love watching your videos

OH YEAH BUDDY.... I'm only 13 minutes in but I had to stop and comment. Recently I got some soldering stuff giving to me from an estate sale where a fellow past away and in the box was a de-soldering gun. I had no clue what it was or how it worked ( Just got it a few days ago so haven't gotten around to google yet ) but now seeing you use yours, I'm totally excited to use it and will keep it. I was going to sell it all but I did take some electronics stuff in school in the early 80's so I'm pretty much okay to tackle the sound problem I have with my gameboy because it's doing the exact same thing... Sound only with headphones. Okay now back to the show..

Thank you! You have shown me how to fix the sound issue with my DMG!!

Nice to see you uploading again

Finally Welkom back

Thanks that worked great, keep up the awesome work!

"If you need to get any other supplies, do it now" *patsssk* 🤣

Your end result for the audio jack was fairly satisfying ngl

Thank you for your video! I clean the jack port with alcohol and scratch it a bit and works like a charm now :)

Heh, this reminds me of when I refurbed a Game Boy Color and had to replace the speaker with a GBA one I had kicking around. Love digging into these old Game Boys!

Thanks for this video,this help me to fix my gb with no sound!

Thank you for the information. My old Gameboy has gone silent and I imagine this is the issue as I had left batteries in the back that eroded over the course of a year or two. 😅 I'll have to bust out the soldering gear and give it a good old college try! 🤘

dude sweet . it worked . i didnt desolder any thing but cleaned out that little switch the best i could . and boom got sound. i bought this broken gameboy of ebay . it had broken screen and no sound. i got it to attempt to put the funnyplaying screen in it. i didnt want to mess up my gameboy that works lol. thank you verry much. we got the sound finally working.

I would have just dumped the board itself in vinegar and after that dumped it in some ipa. I also repaired a water damaged pc motherboard by spraying the slightly corroded cpu socket with some vinegar

Great instructional video

Good work

"Don't let the...." And we all wait as you try to not say the name on the shot glass and get RU-vid pissed at you.

Yeees he did it. Saludos desde México

I enjoy your videos. A little soldering iron rub on that screens cable fixes that screen easy peasy.

DeoXit is a must to clean contacts It's expensive, so don't use it to clean flux residues, just my 2 cents.

Thank you so much

this dude's got ceramic hands

Blu Tack is great as a third hand soldering

I have a question: if the jack is faulty after the cleanup, does this mean that the speaker won't work, even though the jack was cleaned and resoldered?

would it be worth getting one of those cheap ultra sonic cleaners for stuff like that just to be sure with parts that you cant really open all the way i fixed my dmg the same way before but after about a year or 2 it got stuck again and im forced to use headphones to get the switch "unstuck" again

Isn't it easier to check/fix the speaker first? Or is there a way to see whether it is the headphonejack vs speaker that is defective?

Did you even feel that burn on your thumb?

Where ya been?! We missed you and your repair!!

Hakko rhymes with taco.

i bought one of my gameboy on ebay and speaker is busted like yours when i plug my earphone jack in it works with sound but when unplug it and turn up volume sound doesnt work can you fix it

Love your vids! You should wear gloves when using the fiberglass pen. The little strands of fiberglass can get into your skin and be quite irritating.

mine had sound working but after plugging in earphones it stopped working and only gets sound through headphones plugged in

I was not able to remove the headphone jack and ended completely destroying a sound board. I smeared the whole thing in flux, and while desoldering i tried to pry away those little metal endings. Nope, nothing, didn't even bulge. Need to learn :))

Hello. I have a small question: Is there any possibility to repair horizontal lines on an DMG. I have one and i would like to keep the original display on that. And if so, can you show a method of doing that? That would be so awesome. Best regards from Germany, Stan

battery corrosion is the worst...

"little overkill but that's alright" ya until you see what Deoxit D5 cost lol.

epic

Who think about Adrian digital basement when he put a good amount of Deoxit ?!

DeOxit costs about 5 times as much as IPA though.

Hello!

flux is your friend

I know a trick where you can tape a piece of wire, but i am not telling where. So save all that hassle.

Retro repairs doesn't drink but does rust and battery corrosion for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

bro buy some helping hands
