Amazing. The change in colour is just one highlight. As your title says it starts out looking almost black - so hard to believe it was originally the bright blue you restored it to.
just a tip from an amateur tinkerer: most of the time i do very well with different kinds of guitar picks instead of plastic razors, or spudgers. it's cheap and they come in any dimension you can imagine.
Nice job! It's a shame you weren't able to restore the original plastic colour, but it did seem like you had some success. I wonder if you had 11% whether it would have worked and in a shorter time? I have a GameCube controller of the same colour with the same problem!
Hey, just a little tip you should try, I see you left that in there for around a week 🤯, just use some hydrogen peroxide cream (from any of those hair dye kits) smear it over the oarts, covered with plastic wrapping and a few hours in the sun will have em like new 😊 I've done it with my gba as well as some snes controllers
Yes I've had that experience before, but not with this one, rotated 360° both sides. Wasn't until I removed the protective film on both sides that it worked normally.
what are the cleaning products u are using here because i am needing to clean my old gba its also needing replacing the battery back plate but every thing else is fine i just need to rebuild it after cleaning
My smartphone display has tons of scratches. What do you recommend doing in case there's a way to fix it like you did here with the polishing stuff? What do i have to buy?
Do you have a screen protector on it? My Samsung Note 10 came with a screen protector, I didn't actually realise because it was so thin. Thought it was a normal screen. Started getting scratches from using my S Pen. Then realised scratches were only on the protector. Removed protector - all good. Not sure if iPhones come with a protector though, but just thought I'd mention this just in case.
the store where i worked carried something called electronic grease, or maybe electronic lubriant, but i think silicone lubricant is best suitable for plastics.
If you are going to make a video and you have a mic which you clearly do as we can hear you drop the gba, talk don't just add some dumb text at the bottom and stay quiet, 🤬
Wow, replacing the polarisation layer actually improved the visibility AND the colours. Such an impressive restoration.
Thankyou 😀
I agree, however, I probably would've spent a extra money buying an IPS backlight kit. Make that console *really* work for you.
It must have belonged to heavy smoker to get that discolored. Nice job,it looks great!
Cheers ✌️
I was doubting the paint color but it turned up amazing. Well done, you got a new sub here.
Thanks dude 😀
I dunno why am i doing in this channel but your restoration is so pro.
100/10
I love your videos dude, they are just so cool. The fact you made it look brand new is always so impressive! Great job as always!
Thanks heaps man!
You put so much effort into this one, turned out awesome, underrated.
Wel done! The macro shots are my favourite. Also, the professionalism is top notch😁👌
Thanks heaps man 😄
Nice work on that screen, the paint looks like it’s got a orange peel texture. I subscribed
Cool as usual. I love the music you chose when you put metal parts in liquid, wanted more.
Realised you had the music at the end. Awesome. And the final result - incredible - the colour!
This is Perfection!!! Another amazing work, congrats! 😁
Thanks heaps Hugo 😊
I have a GBC and GBA with the exact same spots, good to know they are polarizer defects and not screen cancer
😃👍
Amazing. The change in colour is just one highlight. As your title says it starts out looking almost black - so hard to believe it was originally the bright blue you restored it to.
So cool! And now please a Backlight Screen! 😃😃
Yes in the future, a modded one 👍
Never thought I needed GBA repair ASMR in my life but oh man, incredible stuff.
The battery cover falling off was a nice touch. 🤣
thanks 😄
Damn, only 5 bucks? What a steal!

‘Professional professional professional’ 😁
😄
One of my favourite restoration channels. :D
Amazing video dude 🤩!!! Have you ever considered doing a tutorial video on how to restore an electronic device in general?
Thanks! Nah I just make repair videos, and people can learn some stuff from them. If anyone has questions I can help them out too :)
17:48 - 17:56 😂😂 The bug just had to ruin it.
Ikr 😄

oh dang, I gentuinly thought that was the correct color, and I was REALLY disapointed
Look at me point at them… here 😂 that’s the kind of subtle sense of humour I can get behind hahahaha
great video :) really interesting to see the damage screen under microscope!
Finished most of your videos , came to a conclusion, only you can restore my life. 😄
Taking off the screen sounded like wood and fire cracking
Yes 😮👂
So happy you didn't just throw away the old screen and install an IPS display lol
😀👍
I literally subbed when you asked 😆 love this vid thanks!!
🥳

@@jaisookram2255 ok thanks, I'm yet to try that method. I had read that sometimes that produces streaking, so I was apprehensive
@@RestoreTechnique I never had the issue, but I don't leave it alone, every 10 mins, I tur it around so it get the heat and light evenly
@@jaisookram2255 ok cool thanks
What do you do with these devices once they’re fixed? You can’t have a home full, surely? Hahaha
I sell some of them, but I've got a bunch which I haven't gotten around to selling yet 😄
with the polarizer if it's inverting the colors you can try turning it 90 degrees, worked on one of my builds :)
Yes I've had that experience before, but not with this one, rotated 360° both sides. Wasn't until I removed the protective film on both sides that it worked normally.
I'd honestly say the front has a very nice shade of purple.
...Y'know,
if said color wasn't a defect.
Seems almost exactly like Odd Tinkering
But better right? 👉👈 😄
Satisfying
Professional!☺️👌
Ooo you could 3d print the back case part.
You mean the battery cover? I don't have a 3D printer, haven't jumped into that realm yet, but will next year I think.
What's the small screw close to the cartridge reader (placed to the right of it)?
Nice job
Thanks dude 🙂
great!
Thanks!
I really wanna know where you can get 3$ broken gameboys nowadays cuz all I see are 50$ upwards
Hay que tener talento para hacer estas cosas, jajajaja, a mí no me quedan igual.
😄👌
Noice job
Cheers 😀
what are the cleaning products u are using here because i am needing to clean my old gba its also needing replacing the battery back plate but every thing else is fine i just need to rebuild it after cleaning
Mainly Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning. Full tools and products list in the description 👍
ok thanks what did u use to polish screen by the way
@@maikeru_uzmaki7125 It's in the description and on screen at 16:43. Novus Plastic polish, 2 and 1. It's not cheap.
My smartphone display has tons of scratches. What do you recommend doing in case there's a way to fix it like you did here with the polishing stuff? What do i have to buy?
The gameboy screen lens is plastic. You can not polish scratches out of glass like this.
Do you have a screen protector on it? My Samsung Note 10 came with a screen protector, I didn't actually realise because it was so thin. Thought it was a normal screen. Started getting scratches from using my S Pen. Then realised scratches were only on the protector. Removed protector - all good. Not sure if iPhones come with a protector though, but just thought I'd mention this just in case.
Now can you play Him and Seek with the console???!!!!
Really cool video, but please make the sound Mono when almost all the sound is in the left ear. It makes the video very uncomfortable to watch
What game are you playing there?
What did you used to lube the audio potentiometer?
the store where i worked carried something called electronic grease, or maybe electronic lubriant, but i think silicone lubricant is best suitable for plastics.
So I currently have a broken gba and what could I do to take out corroded screws
Sorry I didn't see your comment... I would use WD-40 to loosen corroded screws and get them out. Vinegar might work too.
Thanks! 🙏
why not ips? :(
It's not a mod, just restoration
You really got that for 3 bucks?
AU$5, so about USD$3.50
Bargain. It was listed at the end of a lot of games for sale.
Well, it looks nice but I'm wondering what about this paint coat in a long term? It might comes off?
If you are going to make a video and you have a mic which you clearly do as we can hear you drop the gba, talk don't just add some dumb text at the bottom and stay quiet, 🤬
