How To Replace Game Boy Color Shell & Screen Mod

Gameboy Color How To Mod Replace Shell & Screen
Watch as I replace the shell and install a glass screen on my gameboy color. If you are wondering where I got the shell it was off eBay for about $14. Enjoy the video.

thanks for the hint to remove the screen :D Thats all i needed

Wonderful video! I'll be doing the same to mine except with blue buttons, smoke black front and the normal clear in the back.

Thank you for the in-depth process. It's very straight forward except for the LCD part which I couldn't find a practical way. One video shows the host awkwardly pushing it out with thumbs, using a knife and eventually panel remover. Your way was a simple twist and it worked, not to mention the 22+ year old dried glue being frail helped. :)
I switched from solid purple to see-through Atomic Purple which was my very first GBC. Ah, memories. I was 9 years old in 1998, had it on layaway at Target and made payments like an adult with cash earned from chores. Pokémon hit the USA like a storm that year and some of us are still big fans. Unintentionally became involved when there was a huge convention at some Orlando (Florida) mall but that's a story for another day.
Cheers, dood!

I just got a teal one shell to replace my worn yellow shell and it even has a better screen! Thank you for showing how to take the ribbon out and most daunting to me at first, put it back IN. I am now armed with the careful confidence I need to do the job.

[@SuperBrianGames1]

Did you replace the shell?

[@grumpykoopa481]

@@SuperBrianGames1 I did!

I just got a blue one from a friend. It has a hole opposite the speakers and I need to replace the shell. but I'm thinking of doing a kiwi front and a blue back.

That sounds like it’s going to look awesome!

[@alejandroorozco350]

Thank you! This video was very helpful!

[@dangergun2346]

Question: do you HAVE to disconnect the ribbon cable for the screen to access the front of the shell? i dont trust myself putting it back into place

[@SuperBrianGames1]

Just a bean trying to get some sleep Yes, you can see at 3:15 and it’s not that hard just be careful.

Super Brian Games thanks!

@@SuperBrianGames1 what happens if i take it out with the ribbon on?

[@GENKIDAMA10]

Hello I would like to know: there is a big difference between the plastic screen lens from the glass ones?

[@supertesla19]

Well the plastic screen will scratch easier.

[@GENKIDAMA10]

@@supertesla19 Really? So does is mean that the glass screen can also be scratched?

[@WorldBeans]

@@GENKIDAMA10yes, but only by things harder than it. Finger nails and common metals will not scratch the glass

[@crackerass8379]

Just saying bruv or for anyone watching screwdrivers can break the ribbon cable i would reccomend something plastic

[@buraksimsek7264]
