My friend Ben dropped off his Nintendo Game Boy Color to see if I could work out what was wrong with it, and hopefully fix it!
Turns out it had a bent pin, so needed a bit of surgery to get going again.

This video is so damned satisfying. There's just something fun about digging into and repairing old tech. I wound up fiddling with a C64 for a friend a few weeks back and had to give up because the thing was practically rotten inside lol.

This is the exact same issue with my Gameboy Color, mines purple too, and found it amongst my old stuff. Gonna give this a go 😅 thanks for the great video, you helped a lot!

@TheBasementChannel 8 месяцев назад

Cool! So glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your repair!

I believe thats the audio in pin. that you removed. I'm pretty sure no game ever used it, though there are probably some chip tune accessories that do now. so should be fine to be missing. Nice to see some Game Boy content!

Thanks Steven! Of course you know what that pin is for! Glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome video man! Seems like a fix for a possible common problem on gameboys. Thanks for the video

Nice to see a new video about repair vintage stuffs! Do you know that reserved(not in use) pin used for what purpose? just curious

@TheBasementChannel 2 года назад

I’ve no idea if that pin is used for anything… I hope not! 🤞

@ladybalor 8 месяцев назад

Is the pin that's popped up a bit on the far side of the cartridge port supposed to be up a little more than the rest?

@TheBasementChannel 8 месяцев назад

Probably not 🤷‍♂️

Really interesting video, I'm guessing you won't be the only person with this particular issue. Taking a pin that I don't think gets used was a nice solution. I liked the way you used the drawing to give us a good video of what's going on.

@TheBasementChannel Год назад

Thanks John, it was a bit of a head scratcher trying to work out a solution. I’m glad you enjoyed my amazing drawing skills 🤣

@@TheBasementChannel It's a nice concise way of getting across the problem.
