@tronixfix 7 лет назад

Nice vid! One little tip from my side: get some ultra cheap plastic screen protector foil and stick it on the display instantly after opening the device. I also had everytime the problem that my screens got dust or fingerprints on them after repairing the device. And even if i could clean it off i was sometime stuck with a slightly scratched screen. If you stick on the foil it will prevent that problem, just peel it off before u close it up again.

I managed to get a pink micro a few years ago on eBay, it had a starting bid of £20 and I got it for around 25 including postage. It was boxed too with charger although I have no idea now where the box has gone and the charger I haven't seen in ages. It's currently on display on my shelf. A really nice little handheld, a shame it didn't sell as well as it should have. They're fast becoming collectors pieces now so I'm glad I got one for a fairly reasonable price!

Before order a new battery, try charge it using your game Boy. Maybe on the grease one the charging port is dirty or damaged thus the inability to charge.

Hey Elliot, I got a GBmicro and wanted to clean it. When I opened the shell I realized that all the counter parts for the screws were broken from the inner frame. I started to reassemble and glue all the broken parts together but it is like a puzzle. I had a look online to find a replacement for it but I was just able to find kits for the outer shell. Maybe you can help me with this problem because I really want this GB micro in a good condition in my collection. It is the frame where the motherboard and the display are sitting in. By the way I love your content and you brought me into cleaning and repairing old GB models and Nintendo systems.
