Hey that's cool! Didn't know you could recover LCDs like this, thanks for sharing. So nice to see people putting down the effort into saving old technology instead of just throwing it out and replacing it with a modern screen. Cheers!
I applied this to a Gameboy Color (without using this video as reference). After massaging the pixels, the result wasn't perfect, leaving the GBC unattended after-the-fact for a couple days didn't change anything. However, after giving it another try, and heating the screen with a hair drier, to the point of it become black for a couple seconds and starting the massage made the little pixels move easily, I also did it while the GBC was powered on and using Jayros test rom so that I can try Red Green and Blue independently, since the liquid moves independenly really, (red was the thoughest). I did a rinse and repeat for about 4 times, every time the screen heats new black dead pixels come up. After going through this process for seveal hours till the screen looked betterish, I let the game boy color rest for a day, and the end result after resting was magical, the screen was essentially perfect. I believe the mix of heat, pressure and letting it rest does wonders.
i have a theory. I only find this issue with consoles at the flea market during winter when its really cold outside and the consoles are wet from the condensation. I'm guessing the cold + condensation create some sort of air pockets between the screens causing those thingies. Thats why they are moveable. I somehow fixed a DS lite a few years ago with this issue, same thing. Pressing the screen BUT i also left it daily in the sunlight so it would heat up. Eventually it completely healed almost on its own, with pressing the screen on those pixels a few times a day; Took about a week for it to be fully fixed
No, I disagree. I had a ds that I forgot in a car over winter and it worked and still works fine. No screen issues. And it was a bit wet from condensation.

First!
Very cool.
Mine are all at the edge and i can’t seem to fix it
can i do this for a gameboy dmg?
I believe you can using the same principal
Does this work with the original Gameboy?
Its a little more difficult, but totally possible. A few people have let me know it works with the DMG.
Worked. It takes a lot of time and you need to be gentle and patient but it's doable. High risk of completely destroying the screen
It works with the gba sp?
Can this work for a DS lite as well good sir? Also congrats on being a married man
