Restoration of ninTendo GameBoy GBA Destroyed | Repair & Restore DS Classic Sony 

Dude, what an absolutely crazy find! Must have fallen off the GBA tree and no one noticed it for probably 50 years. Can't wait to see the next video!

The time and effort to make it look like an actual fake restoration video is amazing 😭😂 100% spot on! The rice to fill the hole is a nice tribute 😭

The use of the broom while cleaning absolutely killed it. Laughed out loud

It always breaks my heart when I see a poor little stray gameboy in need of a home. Glad you rescued the little guy, I wonder where his mother went. It's nice to see him make a full recovery, he was in pretty bad shape.

as someone who does restoration, i winced in pain and laughed hysterically through this whole thing. You are brilliant elliot LOL

Man, absolute commitment to the bit. There's taking the piss, and then there's this masterpiece of a video. Bravo, good sir, bravo! From the hand on the stick, to the use of the broom for scrubbing, to the pestle and mortar. All just beautiful. And then of course Ashens and the tat torch. Chef's kiss all around!

This brought back so many memories back in the days when I could just sit down and play my Nintendo Gameboy GBA Ds classic Sony. So nostalgic for me.

Wow! The end result was so good that it almost looks like it's a completely new console!

From start to finish this video was absolutely perfect. From the intro when you were walking with a stick I knew where this was going and I was not disappointed then ending it with the ashens brown couch I could recognize anywhere. Just perfect.

I was literally thinking "that looks like the Ashens sofa..." and then Ashen's logo popped up. Love seeing and old fave and a new fave doing incredible repair restoration of a Sony GBA Megadrive.

What a beautiful restoration, it looks almost brand new!!! This must have taken months to restore. You must be a very skilled individual. I can't belive you just found this randomly, what an amazing find and an amazing restoration aswell. 5 stars!!!!

Woah! What an absolutely amazing find! So great that you could totally restore it! Thank you for preserving atari ds retro sony's

This is the greatest video in the history of the internet. Elliot is a god among men for being able to fix this amazing find! I will tell my 1 year old niece of its greatness.

i had one of these as a child, i loved my DS classic sony. ☺️ i remember playing gta 6 on it for hours each day back in 98', but it broke after my dog pissed on it, lovely video!!

I love how the brushes got progressively bigger as you were scrubbing 😂your sense of humor is why I subbed!!

My favorite part is the genuine realism. Just... Incredible!

The aggression, incorrect tools, and USED sandpaper had me rolling! Great refurb!

Always nice to see someone return DS advance portables back to their natural habitat!

The most 100% authentic restoration video that I've watched in my life. 😛😜😝🤣😉🥳

Absolutely Superb Restoration! Even More Impressive That He Didn't Use Those Beets Which We AlI Know are Absolutely Essential At Fixing The Dreaded Screen Hole That Every Microsoft Game Station DS Experiences.

so detailed and in depth restoration of niNtendo destroyed Metal Rusty original !

mans mad skilled at restorations, cant believe how well this 100% real ninTendo GameBoy GBA DS Classic Sony turned out. what a shame ashens had to destroy it

I can't stop laughing. I think I just peed my pants. Stick it those phonies, Elliot!! It's nice to have genuine repair aficionados like you out there fighting the good fight. From one repair tech to another "I salute you."

We all grew up with the ninTendo Gameboy GBA didn’t we Brings back all of my nostalgia

Thank you for this helpful repair guide, found a Atari Gameboy 360 in the woods, and have a couple of questions. Does the grain size of the rice matters, can I use basmati rice? and is the Worcestershire sauce brand specific, or can I use any off-the-shelf Worcestershire sauce?

I'm so glad you had time to go to the Gameboy forests in south east Asia. I want to visit someday as well and pluck my own gameboy from the forest.

i completly lost it when you torched the screws in what i beleve was worchester sauce hahaha. Great vid and great content.

Bravo! Bravo! Honestly, what else can I say? This is a work of art and one of my favorite videos from you! Clever, witty, and wonderful!

Thank you Elliot!!! I was sure this console was beyond repair. But you did the impossible ;-) I fixed all the Game Boys I found in bushes with rice and lemon juice as well. It is pure magic!

This brings back when I played it back in the days, keep up the good work!

You even found the original box it came in, and restored that as well?! Amazing👏👏👏

im so glad this gameboy was able to meet you and get fixed!!

You walked past a brand new switch at 0:57 I can't believe you missed it

Finally, a proper restoration on a channel! You did it like a masters does!

Absolutely best restoration video ever created, the why this is done I can tell it was a professional that knows what they are doing

Hey I think that's my old Microsoft Game Gear! I was playing a really hard game of GTA one day and got so frustrated I shot it and threw it out of the window of the airplane I was on. (This was of course back in the day when you were allowed to bring guns on an airplane)

wow a natural gameboy! probably a fossil from a gameboy-saurus!

I remember when Sony first launched the Nintendo Gameboy GBA... It was the summer of '67 and I was living in the Midlands with my 2 great-grandchildren and my 10 kids and wife playing on the Xbox 720.

I 100% knew what I was in for, but still ended up surprised a few times… I totally couldn’t turn away!

Wait a funking second!!!! 13:00 onwards. Did you just stole Ashen's sofa!?!?!?

There's so much to love about this, but my favorite part has to be the insistence on using tweezers for everything.

wow thats crazy, and great fix. and great find. i love the sound too

To quote the Tech enthusiast in all Pokemon games, "The power of science is staggering!"

Ten thumbs up. I haven't LOLd so much in ages. Good job that man :D

No way, after seeing your videos of exposing fake restorations, this is heaven omg I'm pretty sure I'll love it, and, i know you'll not see this, but be sure you made someone really happy with this

I laughed so hard 😂 you can hear Eliot chuckle as he put the batteries in. That thing looks like it took a bullet in the back!

It’s really important to flavour your dirty Gameboy well done.

Great video restoring the Sony xbox 4, can't wait to see what you find next

One of the greatest parodies I'm ever seen

This is the best video I've ever seen in my entire life

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This video is a master piece, I haven’t laugh this much since long time ago. You got everything right in the video, looking in some forest and suddenly finding the console. The console has a hole and also you fixed with super glue. You take out the screen and even break it more. This video is just a master piece 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant. Brought back such nostalgia

I love the video description You're lucky to have found a Sony PlayStation DS Gameboy

At 2:46 you messed up. You were suppose to get the dust mop, not the shop brush.

Who would do this to a Gameboy, just leave it outside for dead😂Dude definitely got his work cut out for him today! Let’s make it good as new 🎉

Man nailed the ever so slightly too loud and unsettling breathing as well

Ahh yes Dark Souls on game boy what a classic

If only there was a Rick Roll when he turned it on in the end 😆

The wire brush is the most necessary component to any repair and restoration of the new 812-in-1 Sony GameStation 5 Xbox

Holy moly! Haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Love all the small details, especially the ever-growing speaker. Thanks for making my day. P.s.: What readings did you get from the lemon?

It's about time someone did this that is effing hilarious !

For a second I thought this was fake, but once I saw that you grew a new plastic screen cover with the old pieces, some blue liquid and a powder: that proved to me that this was real!

That’s kind of content I’m looking for when I pay my internet bills.

The amount of physical pain i felt watching this is a true testament to the effort you must've gone through to make something this terrible and amazing. I tip my hat to you, sir

Good thing that you filmed your entire trip to show that this find was 100% legit!

This had me cracking up the whole time. You even included so many of the egregious tropes of all the fake restoration videos. One of my favorite parts was the uneven, runny spray paint job. 10/10 parody.

The way you masterfully tore apart the screen and gently placed it down at around 7:10 I could really tell how much you care about restorations and preserving the historic ninTendo GameBoy DS Classic Sony.

incredibly accurate. can't believe it had elden ring on there!

One of the best restorations I have ever seen, everything is absolutely emaculate, the ninTendont gameboy ds classic by soga was the console I had growing up in the 80 (1780s)

Finally, an authentic restoration!

I don't usually comment on videos but this is absolutely genius. It shows your frustration at these kind of channels getting so many views for producing utter rubbish whilst being genuinely hilarious and entertaining. Thank you Elliott and keep doing what your doing your content is great

Probably the best restoration you've ever done, I need to take some notes, your screen repair job was amazing, the way you made those screws brand new... Truly crazy, if I didn't know that your name was Elliot I would guess your name was Felix, because just like him, you can fix everything.

So much to see here, the phone in perfect condition that was ignored at the beginning, The painted on mud, the random brand new screw that came out of the console, the Massive speaker in the shot of the "restored" pieces, and of course, Finishing up on the Ashens couch. Well played sir

This is a true gem!!! Elliot, you recreated an excellent parody of the numerous fake restoration videos. I laughed so hard that I ended missing a few things... so I am going to watch it a few more times. By the way, how difficult was it for you to not slip in any type of vocal comment?

I am at a loss for words. The ninTendo GameBoy GBA DS Classic Sony is my favorite console from back when I was an old man. It was a shame to see it abandoned as it was. I am glad you have restored some life to it; it will hopefully bring joy to others. Fantastic restoration work!

I feel like I witnessed a crime reenactment. You deserve millions of views. That was spot on.

This is... frankly incredible. The Ashens couch at the end was so unexpected but so perfect, I love this. 12/10 quality restoration, 0-3 sad onions

You are surely a professional and i can tell by the attention you put into your restoration. More restoration channels should be this professional. Glad I subbed years ago.

This is a cinematic masterpiece. Challenging to watch at some points, but also hilarious. What comes next? Building a functioning Sony Gameboy DS out of clay?

Words cannot describe the joy this video brought me. Thank you for this masterpiece.

How did you even manage to stay silent doing all this? It was physically painful to watch, loved it!

i always wanted a gamecube

Those precise strokes with the broom. What an amazing technique

This is amazing! How would I know that a seemingly unfixable dirty broken LCD screen could be repaired as brand new with just soap and tape? Nice job!! 👍

What a genuine restoration video. It's a shame that Sasquatch throws away such ubiquitous electronics so frequently, but I'm glad you're able to bring them back to life. Thank you, Baby Yoda. 13:29 👍

absolutely beautiful console well done, ps the boot up sound was amazing i haven’t heard that sound since 1967 brings me back to my childhood

Have to be honest, I’ve watch many Nintendo Sony GBA GameBoy DS Classic restoration videos, and the techniques used in this one were absolutely spot on, and the results speak for themselves - 10/10 no notes.

This is quality 😭😭

Damn I needed this, now I can repair my own Sony GBA thanks

14:07 LOL KKJJKJKJKJ

WOW! It looks so good, it almost looks like you got a brand new gameboy and swapped it with the dirty one!

The best restoration yet. That GBA classic DS from SonySega was a great find. You did a very good job and even filmed the entire trip so it was real. Amazing restoration and i hope that you restore the SonyCube 3 PRO SlimBoy next

Funnyest video ever made... loved it!

Best restoration vid ever. The incredible care to the materials. The state of the art cleaning methods. The monkey noises in the background. Let’s make this go viral

absolutely heartwarming how gentle you were with this old tech

I’m glad Elliot continues to challenge his repair skills like this, with each gameboy being in increasingly worse condition. Can’t wait to see him fix a gameboy that was thrown in a blender for 6 minutes with nothing but alternative healing methods like prayer and meditation.

the beginning of the video is simply divine 🤣 it really shows how they find things scattered on the floor, 200% real. Amazing vid keep it going!

Absolutely amazing and so realistic, especially when you ground up the buttons into paste, mixed them with lemon juice, and then they turned into brand new buttons. I couldn't believe my eyes!

This guy is an absolute genius. I cant believe he turned a 100 year old destroyed Xbox Nintendo Sony PlayStation Game Boy 360 One X lite i Color Advance 6 Super Slim 10000 in 1 Arcade Game Handheld into a brand new console for the family. I love your restoration videos. Keep it up.

I love how you're playing these cheap crappy little NES games and then all the sudden you're playing like a PS3 game with amazing graphics!
