Wow. When I was growing up stuff that stopped working got thrown away. Looks like all you had to do was a simple fix. 👌 🇺🇸
3D Printing a clear battery cover should blend in well as a stop-gap until you find a matching cover.
I've fixed a gameboy screen by just running my soldering tip along where the ribon cable from the screen has its little pins come in to contact. I literally did it while the thing was on so I could watch what happend to the screen while I did it. While I did it I got a few more fead lines, but I just kept going until all the lines went away and then I stopped and its been good ever since
For the battery cover, have you considered taking a clear replacement and dyeing it using either hobby stained glass paints or fabric dye?
Watching you fix game consoles etc is more satisfying than slime videos
Hey Retro Future, I just want to say you have really improved since i first subscribed at 300. You have a high quality setup, a great intro (very memorable :O), and are overall just a great person to watch. Thanks!
for horizontal lines, you can refloat the lcd connection pins with heat.
Need one of these for my collection!
Honestly still one of my favorite gameboys of all time. You are extremely lucky to have gotten the clear shell version!
Great to see you got your hands on this console! When I was young, a friend of mine had an older brother who gave them his old GB Light, and it was this edition; great memories were made with that GB and Mega Man Dr. Wily's Revenge :]
Just discovered the channel and loving the Refurb videos
Great work as always! I love this Game Boy. I got one in great condition for myself (with a battery cover!) a while back. It was a bit pricey, but It's such a nice addition to the collection :)
You were a lifesaver with the alcohol tip! I used it to clear the gunk from my l and r buttons on my sp the other day. The buttons had been unresponsive for the last four years.
I remember these gameboys! I always wanted one growing up because of the size and lite screen. (I had the brick sized one). I never got one because short after was the release of the color. Ah good times.
You can resurface that kind of plastic quite a bit for screens using a plastic polishing compound with a fine abrasive in it. I use Novus #2 here with excellent results.
I love how excited you got when the backlight worked :D
That tool kit is so awesome! I just ordered something similar (albeit not as cool)... not sure why, bc I don’t intend to work on many gameboys. But at least now I can :)
I was thinking while watching this video,
Man I remember when you had 1k subscribers it’s crazy I’m so glad your blowing up
