Hello!

As I mentioned in the video, let me know if you want to see this format again! I also have a faulty New 3ds and 2DS. Also - sorry you had to watch the ad, I lost my job a few weeks ago, so it is really needed to make more videos in future! Thanks!
The Retro Future I can’t wait for the DS vids!!!
The Retro Future fam put an ad on every video if you want! Most people understand and just skip it anyway
DS! 😊👍
Nice haircut =) 👍👍👍✌✋✋👈✌
yez
The plastic under the sticker isn't discoloured. The rest of the case is.
majority rules
That actually makes sense, because the sticker would protect the color while the rest of the case would discolored from age.
It's really interesting to me that most of the For Parts gameboys are a simple fix
Yea they are nearly anyone can guess what could be wrong with one
Not everyone has the know how or ability to fix one though. I'm absolutely garbage at soldering and would probably break more than I fixed
Your contact cleaning segment helped me fix my newly received gameboy pocket, which has a faulty power button and a non working A button. Thanks.
hey elliot. i think you should start refurbing other things like actual consoles like dreamcast, n64's ps1's, all that jazz. plz plz do it.
Adam Koralik is more of a console guy. Elliot is more of a handheld guy.
Adam Koralik has some fantastic videos on that. Subscribe to both guys.
handhelds ARE actual consoles though
Lyrical lmao
I LOVE THIS!
Please more of these videos. Subscribing just for this. I love the detail. The chopped up ones make it harder to comprehend and appreciate the work that goes into refurbing.
Thank you so much!
Definitely enjoyed this type of format, not all the time, but if it’s labelled as an in-depth walkthrough/repair then people should know what to expect before clicking.
Could you link the smaller triwing bit please? The screwdriver looks top notch!
I would love to see a PS1 repair/restore video!
If you're looking for other suggestions, I've started branching out into PSPs. The screens are a lot cheaper for one (I think I got one for 7 or 8 quid from china!) and things like the joystick are pretty affordable too.
I love nintendo as much as you, but the name sometimes seems to attract far more of a pricetag than it needs to...
Seconded. Would love to see a video on PSP's.
i got a psp 3003 for £30 a few days, plus it had a pro duo to sd adapter in it and 8gb sd.
Not sure if he flips these or just uses them for content on the channel but Nintendo handhelds are definitely way more in demand than PSPs as far as I can tell
I recently fixed a hello kitty gameboy pocket. had battery acid damage and a bad ribbon cable. wouldnt had realized how much that could be without your videos
I love this style of video. This type of video is just what got me into your channel. I think you should sell your own repair kits for gameboys and old electricals in general.
Great! Thanks
Really digging how in-depth you went in this video, would love to see more of it!
It's nice to see the entire process but I also do like your old style. I talked about it with Bill Thorpe and we both agreed that each episode was a cinematic masterpiece. Your editing is always on point. Perhaps you could mix the styles? For more complicated projects you haven't done before you can have this detailed style while routine work gets the Elliot flair? You could even mix them in the same videos, editing the cleaning process into a montage for example.
I definitely prefer this more long-form syle! It's more satisfying seeing everything come together in real-time
I personally prefer this over the normal short and cut let's refurb (although i love those), and I wouldn't be mad at all if these became a more frequent thing :) I feel like these are more "person to person", and I personally like seeing every little thing that goes into the refurb!
I really enjoyed this type of video. I want to get into the hobby as well and therefor it's really nice to see the whole process and picking up every little piece of advice.
I don't know if there's an AutoZone or O'Reilly's but at your auto mechanic shop wherever you are look for a magnetic bottom cup there usually by the front counter. They hold all your screws in place perfectly
This was a great video! I love the Lets Refurbs but this was great. I would love to see more of these style videos along with the Lets Refurbs. Also adding in home console or PC repair/refurb would be awesome to see. It's always good to see a new upload from you. Keep up the amazing work!
That was great, love seeing simple fixes. Gotta be honest, nearly every handheld that I've got to refurb has been super simple to fix just like this, and even the tougher ones are not too bad (replacement switch or caps etc) keep it up dude
Yeah mine are usually very simple too.. would be fun to repair some genuinly faulty things.
No one:
Elliot: DAMNIT! WHY DID I HAVE TO GET A GAMEBOY THAT WAS EASY TO FIX!!!
You know you've made it when you have a sponsored ad in your video! :)
But seriously, great video, man. Love watching other clean & repair!
Sharp haircut as well!
I LOVE this format! This is closer to a how to, and it's great! More of these!
love these vids! I'm getting my first set of gbp's from eBay soon.
I would like to see more component testing and diagnosis, maybe some continuity tests with a multi meter.
as far as horizontal lines, a heat gun on low with an xacto knife should resoder those ribbon connections on the screen.
This is awesome! I’m down for whatever you want to put out. Thanks for all the knowledge and info you provide as always Elliot!
Coming to this video from one of his newer ones is kind of cool because you can tell how much more comfortable he’s gotten in front of the camera
That's awesome. I'm going to try and fix my gameboy pocket as well. No power, you have really inspired me to take this up as a hobby if mine works out well.
I’ve learned quite a bit from watching your videos, I’ve bought a few dirty defective gameboy colors and have completely refurbished them to mint condition. Now it’s a hobby of mine. Going to be a patreon on payday to help your channel out. Cheers!
Thank you, really appreciate a good quality, nicely voiced over procedure video for how to clean these up. Keen to get into picking up some junk GBP's to try myself now because of your vids keep it up.
Should have a go at reflowing the solder for the screen to fix the missing lines would save you money buying new screens
Loved the format also I really want to clean my ds now but that's probably a lot more complicated
i like this version better, its nice for someone looking into trying this for the first time to see the entire process.
it was a great video! I hope to see more like this one (:
try buying the cheapest gameboys you found; those should be in really bag conditions ;)
This is awesome, I love when you show us everything in detail!
Untitled a ‘broken’ gameboy pocket, uuuhhhmmm wait a minute,,,
johneygd What?
Untitled misleading title, it wasn’t broken, just a little buit dirty, that’s all.
I like this format much more. More info and demonstration is always preferred.
I like seeing you do it as it goes, so we can see how you get about solving issues you didn't expect. Definitely record your next one without editing as I want to see what you do when bigger issues arise! Thanks
I find this colour of Gameboy Pocket to normally be more expensive than the rest, is it because its a JP only colour?
Really enjoyed the format, please keep on doing videos like this. As for suggestions, I hope one day you can repair a Wii U gamepad, which is kinda like a giant GBA.
I would love to see some console repairs like replacing the lens on a PS1 or Saturn. Keep it up with the awesome content man!
i love the unedited style, hope you do another vid like this sometime
Tremenda dedicacion y que video tan explicativo y detallado, saludos desde Chile
Cool I just cleaned n64 board with 99.9 I so and good paint brush working great stuff
I think you might even use Mr. Sheen more than us Aussies do 😂 I'm impressed, it's quality stuff! 👌🏻
I love the drying cloth. That green I love.
"One whiff of this and you will be paralytic"
love this style. Strangely satisfying
Hi, greetings from Spain!!
First of I must say that I really enjoy your content witch I've found once I started to refurb my own Nintendo stuff. I already got a question that hope you would be nice to answer, Where can I find the Tri Wing screwdriver bit to replace it? Thx in advance ;)
In regards to doing home console refurbished, I think videos turn out best when you’re doing something you find fun or interesting. So if it sounds like something you’d enjoy doing, I can assure you I’ll enjoy watching it.
I enjoyed watching the whole process. If I’m actually doing it myself while watching I’d prefer the shorter edited videos, but to watch and learn how the whole thing is done from start to finish this is great. And I am also wondering why there isn’t already a drop in replacement backlit screen on the market.
Thanks for the feedback dude!
Yay for more in-depth real time videos! Also your HAIR!!!!
Cheers dude!!
I do like watching the process of fixing stuff, almost as much as I like fixing stuff my self
Love the video! I would really love to see you work on 3ds systems as well as 2ds systems
If you want some good Gameboy example for a video, I got a DMG lying around that has some issues, especially with its screen that looks really buggy. It runs games - sometimes - don't know if that Gameboy can be fully fixed.
Yes, I would love to watch an uncut video of the 3ds repair 😊
I had no DMG style pockets had a power light version. The only ones I've seen have been missing it.
I enjoy these more in depth, informal, chatty videos, be good to see some larger refurbs and repairs too. Peace
Dam man you make some well made videos definitely you need more subs
Loved the video and would love to see the faulty 3ds and 2ds make a video! I know you mentioned it in your live video a few weeks ago but are you going to be doing a Gameboy advanced with an ags 101 screen? Also Ben venn has a ribbon cable to make a Gameboy Color comparable with an ags 101 screen as well
Let’s be honest, if you wear glasses you have a number of microfibre cloths just floating around because I have not met a single person who cleans their glasses with the provided cloth.
Beautiful results.
you can fix the horizontal lines as well, just like vertikal lines
Awesome repair video as always
I really like the look of this screwdriver set! Where do I find the right bit to go with it??
seeing that seller name was super nostalgic, i used to but japanese girl group merch from them around 10 years ago
the slightly edited videos in my option is the best so yes do this for the 3ds as well
Yes, I would love to see some home console repairs.
Sweet!
You can show us real time unscrewing the N64 shield & heat sink with it's 64 screws (exaggerating) lol.
most importantly...please provide details on that knife that you use in the beginning
I've the step by step video and fault finding vids hope to more soon
i honestly just want to know what kind of knife that is thay you used to cut the tape when unwrapping...
Hi, what do you use to clean the contacts? Loving your channel
love the classic with Tetris.
I know its been a good while but where did you buy the replacement bit for that driver set, Haven't been able to find one.
I found something on Amazon that might work, I bought the Y0 triwing set since its smaller, it comes in a pack of 3, it will come in the mail today I will let you know if it fits in and works on game boys! www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW2WDUB/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_vMjZCbY4P24C9
it works!!!!
I know this video is a couple months out now, but could someone please link the replacement smaller tri wing bit? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Nice video! And also, where did you get that knife? I like it! And how sharp is it?
What do you suppose was wrong with the power switch that prevented the gameboy from turning on?
The triwing piece you brought
Where did you get it from?
Where can I buy the replacement screwdriver bits?
cool format...how do you fix horizontal lines?
Try replacing the screen to see if the horizontal line goes and u can play full contrast thing
Yanno, if my mom saw me using Badedas to clean my stuff, she'd have my head!
Dude, that stuffs good and expensive! (and admittedly pretty and green...)
“The battery contacts look good which is always a positive” 😂
Hey man. Where'd you get the right size triwing bit from?
I really wish you would have put the AC adapter before ripping apart why do some of the game boys pocket have the LED indicator and some of them don't
I would suggest you to use egg carton to prevent the screws from rolling around and potentially getting lost.
Where did you got the small tri wing from? Pls help me!
There is a horizontal pixel line out about 2/3 of the way up the screen
Does anyone have a link or know where to buy that tri wing bit that he added?
I like the video it shows more of what your going to need to do 😁👌
Wow i am totally getting that tool kit
The directional pad cushion looks replaced?
ware can you find new glass for it lit gray glass screen is hard to find
if you wanna find a really cheap gameboy set the price range when you search on ebay to $0.00 to $1.00 which is about 0 to around 0.80
You r amazing u should have more subscribers
I bought a Japanese junk gameboy color. And I was wondering. Do they play us games ? Not sure if they can be region hacked but thought I would ask you. I’ve repaired many systems but never a Japanese one. If anything that case could get used if I can’t play US games. Thanks in advance
Nice video ! Thank you!
That is the sickest folding knife and I'm buying one.
You should use electrical cleaner or contact cleaner and just spray the whole motherboard down.
I fix desktops and laptops outside of my regular job and I have actually fixed motherboards that people have said was dead it's cheap and it works the force behind the spray gets in all the nucs and crannies like the power button on your GameBoy.
Let me know if you decide to try this and if it works for you I would love to see your video on it cheers bro
Jamie Williams does iT also work if there’s a little bit of corrosion ? My old gameboy has some corrosion on the motherboard but i don’t know if it’s fixable
Just try it contact cleaner or electrical clean is 100% safe and is not gonna damage anything on the motherboard unless it's already broke. I spray down my motherboard on my pc just to clean it and my motherboard isn't even broke trust me it is safe to use and it will help to loosen up anything on your motherboard
Is there a way to mod the Japanese so it will play games from other regions?
There is a way to fix the horizontal line without ruining it.
Well the game boy is not region locked so...
Where do i get the replacement tri wing bit ?
If I still have it I have one that had the screen of death if you need a demo
I got a Gameboy color today. Problem is, I left my games at my mom's because it wasn't supposed to arrive this early.
Im surprised you didnt try to solder the screen contacts to fix the pixel line
