Game Boy DMG Repair 

A good way to get rid of the glue/enheasive is spraying WD-40 on it. Spray it on leave it for 10 minutes and wipe it off. Easy as that

It’s very satisfying to see old game boys revived

Weldone on bringing the old girl back to life. Also a well made & informative guide on how it was done for anyone that fancies a crack at one themselves.

J4U is hands down the best seller on eBay, whenever you are looking for not working consoles or import cartridges. I'm kinda addicted.

I'm glad I watched your video. Some webpage said *not* to apply direct heat to the cable to fix the vertical lines, and I wasn't having any luck. Saw your vid and how you applied heat, did the same thing, got my DMG fixed! Not sure what temp my iron was at. Was just a battery powered 4.5W iron, but it got the job done.

thanks for making this video, you inspired me to try and fix my childhood gameboy that hasn't turned on in 20 years!! I got it working :)

Your doing God’s work.

Hey there, just a little tip for the next time you want to repair a DMG game boy, you removed the rubber stripe that was over the screen connectors, but it also work by applying heat gently with a solder without applying so much preasure on It will reconnect the screen without having the risk of damaging the connectors!

Interesting video, would like to see more of these in the future as well.

Thank you! You help me to fix my gameboy!

10% solution of floor cleaner, 10% isopropanol and 20% window cleaner.. Rest water, try that mix to clean old plastics. Need a bit of polishing liquid afterwards

How about screen burns?

Hello, nice video. Just one question, what you had done with the rubber you remove bellow the screen to fix the vertical lines? You put it back in place again?

what if you stripped the screws while opening them?

I've just come across a DMG-01 on which that bottom ribbon cable had completely detached.. any tips for soldering it back on?

I cleaned the battery terminals on my gameboy with comet and oven cleaner

Do you know anyone who will repair a original Gameboy I want to get my mom's original Gameboy fix and so it can continue to get passed down in the family

I have a Nintendo game boy and the light comes on when I turn it on but the screen is blank and the only way I can get it to start is if (whilst turned on) I switch two of the battery's over, does anyone know why it is do this? I have used band new batteries? thanks

Hey!! any suggestions for a flickering display. I hear the sound but the display is flickering and few horizontal lines.

Would you be willing to fix my Gameboy DMG if i sent it to you and paid for any fixes needed? Right now I can see that the battery contacts are very messed up. They're corroded but also, one of the springs is pulled straight for some reason. I rescued it from a thrift store that I worked at because someone was going to throw it away. Also, for some reason the frame around the screen is missing. I don't know why someone would pull that off. Maybe the screen wasn't working and they thought that would help. Who knows.

Can you fix mine bro I have 2 I’m from Sydney

These screws are really stiff and not moving is there anything I can do?

What if my lines are horizontal?

Is 70% isopropyl good the motherboard?

What do you call green table at your work station

I paid $86.95 for a original NINTENDO gameboy

do you happen to have a burnt lcd repair for gameboy dmg? plan to restore mine and it will really be of great help... thanks in advance

This is kinda related to the video, so I'm going to ask a question. I found this old gameboy printer at the flea market for 5 USD. While the inside is fine, some of the contacts are severely corroded to the point they're chipping off and the batteries just slide out of them. Luckily, none of the contacts that are soldered to the printer are corroded, could I just replace the old corroded contacts with new ordinary ones from ebay? Would it still work? And do you have repair services?

Hey dude. I have an original game boy as well. The gameboy turns on (red led) but nothing happens (audio/video). I've tried the screen on another gameboy and it works. Any ideias?
