I love your refurb videos
Elliot I have a question can you explain to me which concentration of the isopropyl alcohol should be used for what and I have some dust between the lens and the screen of my GBA sp 101 is there any way to remove it?
these videos are so interesting, just bought a new shell for my gba sp
Thank you man! Nice one!
The cleaning sequences you recorded are so satisfying!
The gba sp is so cool!
Indeed!
Indeed!
@@gamingwgamebois957 your reply was so original indeed!
nycjin816 Yes Indeed!
Do a let's refurb on the PSP. I reckon 2004 is retro now.
More than you can imagine.
A Generation has to 20 years before it's Retro.
Shiv Karthik he’s done refurbs on the ds, I’m sure he can do psps.
@@leighdappa Windows XP has entered the realm of being retro, many are making old PC builds - might as well get into the PSP whilst it's still affordable...
Hmmmm....
15 minimum
I have shared this before but one of your videos helped me rehouse my GBA ag101 about a year ago!! Great job!
I’ve picked up my first SP and was lucky to find an Australian AGS-101 at a cheap price. I’m confident that no matter what it throws at me, thanks to your videos, I’ll be able to handle it, clean it or fix it. Love your content, thank you for sharing your experiences.
YASS Thanks! I passed on buying a 101 a few months ago from a pawn shop because it had a busted hinge and I thought it would be a pain to fix. Thanks for all you do!
I bought a used SP about a week ago; the screen has a scratch in it! Its not a big deal though, I plan to replace the shell and screen when I can find some good priced replacement pieces. Awesome video as always Elliot, looking forward to new content!
I had the blue one growing up until I cracked the housing dropping it once. I still have it but I swapped the housing with an aftermarket one
You make me want to get back into my old consoles. I’ve got a silver one, I should see if I can get the backlight fixed and it’ll be perfect
@6:05 when you sprayed the glass cleaner directly on it made me wince
I love your channel I'm into retro gaming cause of your channel thank you your channel is great and to learn about modding its really good I have to watch your video over again till I understand I get abit stuck
Great video. Could you do a psp go possibly. I got one recently which has a scratch on the screen but otherwise good condition. Going to replace the screen and probably could do it myself. Your videos are however always so well paced and easy to follow. I know the community would love to see it. 👍🤸
Very, very nice! The quality of your videos are amazing!
I just about died when younslow mode the you missing the screwhole
That pastel colour is soooo beautiful
Awesome! You got Simpson Road Rage. That game is so better than Simpsons wrestling!
Awesome refurb!! good deal on that too!
I'm absolutely ecstatic when I see these videos in my recommended
could you do a review video about your opinion on all the retro Nintendo handheld consoles? (up to the DS lite)
I love watched you refurbishing those old school consoles and also the new ones
great video!! i have 3 of those same exact color. got them all for around the same price you did on offerup locally. you cant loose for 40$
That's the exact model I have, same color and all. Mine is still mint though (bought it when it was new and it's been in a protective case the entire time).
Great way to start the week! Keep up the good work fella!
Thank you!
I remember buying one of those pearl blues Brand New back in the day.
I got one of these off eBay for $50 Aussie. The colours were all weird so I went opened it up TRF style. The clip for the ribbon cable wouldn't click back in once I took it out. So I superglued the ribbon cable back (bad idea) I didn't put it in exactly the right place and when I adjusted it the ribbon cable broke.
Now I have an AGS 101 with no ribbon cable and possibly superglue residue on the board, what can I do?
@Speak Vegan Change Thanks, I might just sell it
There are no good aftermarket shells are there? I've been looking for an ags 001 I can case swap with for awhile.
There's a few on AliExpress
They're all the same. And tbh they feel fine to me, but they're definitely not Nintendo quality.
I am selling some on ebay but they are not always in perfect condition..
There’s a ton of em on AliExpress, Wish and eBay. I put a 001 NES style shell on my 101 because the shell it was in, was in horrible shape, there’s one thing though, you need to re-use the hinges of the old shell. There’s a technique to it, and I usually cut the old shell hinges open so that the hinges can easily be removed. Warning; Push them out carefully and when done, put the hinge caps of the new shell on the hinges BEFORE installing them in the new shell, also double check if they’re on te correct sides (both hinges are a diff color). And they only fit in in one way.
Shells on retro modding are pretty nice
Fantastic content! Congrats
!
I’m 11 and watching your videos made me start my game boy collection I all most done
What do you use to clean the screen? The foam you spray on interior and exterior? Thank you
i bought my ags 101 for 9€ (without the cable) from a classmate. I did't know about the 101 and 001 thing. I found out like a year or two later, that mine is something special (and more expensive).
Woah a sponsor! GG, stack them papers boi!
loving the macro shots!
Thanks for this!
I love the pink ones, but the blue is gorgeous too.
Right place, right time in getting it at that price
Loving the music choices too
I have an issue with a GameBoy SP AGS101. I bought it used and it had a broken screen. I had 2 after market screens which I tried on the AGS101 but they didn't work. First I though the screens were the problem, but I tested them in another AGS101 and they were perfect. I put some isopropyl alcohol where the ribbon cable connects and I got the screens to do something (basically show some colors where the GameBoy letters go). How can I fix this? Have you ever tackled this issue? I really enjoy your videos, but I haven't seen you do something like that.
Victor Manuel Aguilera maybe someone on r/gameboy can help you
I live ur vids but i have a question. Ik ags 001 is front lit but does it look good when u play
Picked up a Game Boy Pocket thanks to your videos!
i have just purchased a cobalt blue gba sp that doesnt turn on and im hoping to be able to fix it, hopefully its just the battery
Good job, but that battery was minging for a 'clean' GBA SP. :P
This looks fun to do
my gameboy charger stopped charging. i check a few other outlets, pressed the light switches, NOTHING. Then i unscrewed the ac adapter. there was a wire that was unsoldered. i pressed the wire against the soldered blob and it started charging. I'm so proud of myself.
You ought to paint the shell. I was given a lead about a pikachu ags 101 and when I arrived at the game store it was a fake shell and it was just too cheap feeling. So I passed on that, especially for 75 US $. I definitely agree that saving an original shell is worth it. I think it’d be really cool to see you paint this shell. Even tho it’s not a display piece 😂
Any hints on how to open a Gameboy Micro and clean the dpad? I have one but some keys on the dpad are not working anymore 😖
Is there a way to get the front glass off the screen?
I have a GBA SP and I thought it had a broken screen but the more I look at it the more it looks like some sort of fungus
Yes I just did this to mine you just lift it up carefully and making sure not to touch the screen below
I found my ags 101 at a yard sale a couple years back and all it needed was a new shell. (Not those cheap knockoff shells
i think either a repaint in metallic orange or a new OEM NES Classic series shell would be nice
I just bought the same color gameboy but it still has the ags 001 screen on it. I thought in the 3 colors (blue, pink and graphite I believe) all had the newer ags 101 screen.
This is so soothing
Mine i used 2000 Grit sandpaper and it looks nice....I wonder what it looks when I pray paint it?
This is the exact Game Boy I'm getting!
I have a question, us it feasible to fit clockwork internals into a gba shell?
It is possible, but are you planning on using it as a pocket watch?
I have the same SP!
loving the song choice bob marley is so smooth Ahh
Bring the refurb series back pls!
Hi ive got a gba and im having trouble with it not loading up games and tried cleaning the cart slot but still not wanting to load the games could any help with some advace?
Those tricksy little screws are back at it again 😆
My dream to own an ags 101 just came true got it for 35 AUD 😀
5:39 Wow, Unsub. I thought you were a professional. 😂
Hi Elliot. I recently bought a DMG game with a really scuffed sticker. I want to replace it with a good repro label. Do you know someone that makes them? thank you. M
Does anybody know where I can buy one of these for fairly cheap? I have been looking for one for a birthday present and I can't find any good ones for cheap.
Someone tell me where to get that tri wing that fits in the wiha screwdriver...
Old Bayzor did you find out yet? Let me know if you do, cause I've been trying to figure this out for myself aswell.
You should check out more pi-boys. I recently just bought a kit
I would like to make a gameboy Phat and i need some help finding reliable sites to get a gba cart/emulator and a way to get a orignial ds can anyone point me in the right direction? or maybe a good gba portable emulator "handheld"
All original shells from the SP has a barcode right?
No way i saw this on ebay and you beat me to it 🤣
I had lost mine for one night bc I left it in my bunk bed and when I found it and turned it on it had a bout a toe sized circle in the top screen full of dead pixels and I was so bummed because it never got fixed and I basically never saw it again after it went in that drawer in the kitchen
The Squarespace link does not work mate. Good video though!
Where can I find ags 001 and 101 screens?
Hey man I have a question how can you tell what model is your gameboy advance sp
Read the model number on the back. There's an entire internet with multiple search engines that can answer this question, USE IT.
Ags 101 is hands down the best gameboy ever made.The 001 was cool already but the difference between those is amazing
Stupid question what is the difference between the ags-001 over Ags-101?
Nevermind I found out😅😆
love that color
I like this video, haven't heard I Shot The Sheriff in a long time
I actually like it scratched up. always been someone that likes a beaten up look more, like it lived its life.
Satisfying
That 5:41 feel maaaaan
I would have replaced the case or painted it, would you give me some links to buy a case in the first ds? thank you, sorry but My english is translated 😤😁
What soccer game is in your game boy?
40 dollars! Where are you finding these deals?
Ebay, Newly Listed!
I saw a similar deal on Facebook Marketplace.
@@TheRetroFuture eBay and Marktplaats (dutch version of ebay) are indeed great for buying used/new handhelds. Last summer I got a DS Lite in perfect condition with a brighter screen than my other two DS Lites for just €6!
Or you can check the Ebay
Ebay
these crunchy jams, though
I have cobalt blue I won on ebay from a long time ago
Where did you buy this
He always have the dankest and coolest music, this one is no exception!
love these videos Elliott!
I've watched a lot of your refurb videos, when are you gonna get an ultrasonic cleaner?
Try and keep up ;) th-cam.com/video/UNgycdq-gyc/w-d-xo.html
That is soo epic
I love the music
It's 2:54 am
5:40 😏😂😂😂
Do you guys believe it is possible to change the screen of gba sp from ags 001 to ags 101 ?
Yes but you need mother board from 101 as well as screen
Do a lets refurb in an PlayStation (psp,PlayStation original ,psvita,etc)
If you are going to clean the power switch that you should desolder the metal shield and clean it from the inside. It's a noob move to do it that way...
👌
I was cleaning my gba sp in the sink and lost the backlight button down the drain...
i cant find the 1st beat :
nice video 👌👍
some great tunage on this video.
I am getting a game boy advance sp tomorrow
Coolcole2010 I’m getting one in a couple days
