I bought this Nintendo Game Boy off of eBay for spares or repairs. The listing stated it turned on but didn't load any games.
Can I Fix it?!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

RU-vid recommended me this video and I'm starting to feel like youtube knows me better than I know myself cause I enjoyed every minute and even gave a sub 🤣. Wish I could get my 1080 looked at and possibly fixed by someone sent it in for RMA and they wouldn't fix it. It was still under warranty so I refused to pay for the fix. Now it just collects dust cheers going to go binge watch some more of these.

Nice fix, thankfully there was a lot less wrong with my NES. Someone had cut the IRQ line and rejoined it, but was unaware they had cut the next line. Once I realised the extent of the damage, I just added another wire and it booted a game just fine.

I've still got mine in the loft sadly water damaged ... As a little kid (probably 89/90s I dropped it in the bath whilst playing it To my surprise it actually worked So, silly me assumed (aged 7 or so) though, "oh, they are waterproof" 😔 Yup, found put the hard way that they aren't. Didn't have the heart 💔 to tell my parents as it was only months old at the time.

@jimlkosmo5730
@jimlkosmo5730 2 года назад
I would suggest, when you come across high levels of corrosion on solder pads or vias, to reflow them using new solder and even suck the old solder using a solder pump. I mean you get into all this trouble to repair the stuff and you are doing 100% great. Why don't secure the retro stuff from further corrosion. On the video you repaired the GB carts from ebay, almost all of them had the same pins not soldered correctly by the factory. This would suggest their solder might be problematic. I thing it would be wiser to re solder them instead of just reflowing the old solder. Really great vids! Keep it up mate!

Hmm.. Interesting Brother Steve! Toy story 2 was made by Mintendo - Mario-land was made by a bunch of mixed up, garbled pipes & tubes. I see what you did there & if you pause around 0:56 Steve! Tells us what the GB is going to do' John travoltage style - Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive 😂🤣 Oh Steve! Dr. Bunsen Honeydew got in touch, He wants his' Beaker back when your done with it 😂 That GB screen sucks! now that doses need changing 👍🏻

Is the copper colored sheet to protect from EMI? Is it conductive and is the sticker layer protecting it from short circuiting some contacts? If so then having some of the sticky layer removed might cause problems.
