  • My cousin gave me her old broken Game Boy to see if I could repair it. These consoles are so important to video game history and are becoming more valuable and rare so I really wanted to try fix it and even make it look better than the day it was born.
    I show you everything I did but if you follow this, please read and follow all safety warning. At the very least, I hope you find this entertaining. I’m honored you stopped by my channel to see what I’m working on.
    I’ve got more fun projects and Game Boy Advance programming so I hope to hang out with you again soon!
    There was no sponsor or promotion in this video. It was just me but do check out Hand Held Legend if you are interesting in this screen kit or other similar kits.

    Thank you! :)

    The clarity of that screen is excellent. Nice job. Living in the uk, playing a gameboy satisfactorily was a rarity due to no sun.

    it would require at a different front cover, sadly.
