- Hi, here we have a Nintendo GameBoy Pocket with a blue screen of death. What could be causing this and can it be fixed?
This Game Boy Pocket was already featured on Mike's channel @1up_Gaming Please subscribe to him so we can beat the@TheRetroFuture amount of 600 subscribers 😂 That way I can gloat to Elliot and boy will I gloat!
Thanks for watching.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

This is what distinguish you from others repair channels. You go that extra extra step.
You should have put the Gameboy outside underneath some leaves, smear some dirt on it, and then poke a stick around and act like you found it xD Then 'restore' it 😆 Jokes aside, relaxing video as always. Thanks for that Vince 🙏
I've seen a few of those "fake" restoration videos.. amazes me how they get millions of views, yet smaller channels like mine only get a few hundred.
Lol I have seen that guy, I had wondered about him for a bit… love the comment
@Buy it Fix it lol "Pick me pick me" i will give u a sub regardless
Those are financially poor orientals that have bought a smartphone > bought a TH-cam app on it and found how to commit fraud with the cashcows on dumb TH-cam 😠, these “fraudulent” videos started appearing when Google introduced advertisements on TH-cam ~ the option to be paid per-view for the channels and yt premium was also made available
@@BuyitFixit never heard of you until now I’ll take a look after Vince
Vince you absolute madman! To be able to even solder on such micro level, absolutely amazing, nicely done!
Right, time to settle in and see what I done wrong :p Good luck and hope it goes well :) :) Would really like to see this brought back to life after my failed bodges :p
And have no fear, you'll always keep getting care packages through, I've just got a bit better at some of the gaming stuff ( mostly thanks to your channel :) ) but anything different / interesting will head your way as always.
Thanks Mike, I think you were incredibly unlucky on this one to have the board and the screen appear as the same blue screen fault but actually caused by 2 separate things. Thanks for sending it over 👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince I saw your Nintendo switch blue screen of death
One extra channel will not hurt. I especially love these little bits when Vince mentions in his video other repair TH-camrs. It crackes me up every time 😁
Awesome video and repair jobs,always nice to see,thanks for the mention or link for 1up gaming his video are really good.Safe repairs.💯👌🏻✌🏻
I found you through Stez and I love your content. Amazing we can salvage old broken things and make good! Much respect sir 😊
Vince, you know that you are not an amateur anymore when you can fix the things that others failed!! GOOD JOB!!!
Celtic blessing at the end of the video is simply touch of class
You must have the patience of a Saint and a very steady hand, good Sir! I love watching the master at work, 🤩
Result! Your soldering has come a long way mate. Cheers.
Something that can help with fine wires is taping them down in position (ends exposed) and using fine tweezers to nudge the ends of the wires into the final position.
Been enjoying seeing all kinds of odd fixes here Vince, you da man!
There should be a special price for the most brave solder job of the year. Vince would absolute qualify for that one with the try to solder those ribbon cables.
This repair was a next level repair for me. When you look at something I would have long given up on and say, it might be salvageable leads to more edge of my seat excitement than a decent movie.
Great job! I had a similar problem just last week where I was too close to an issue so I asked a colleague for help and he had the solution within an hour. I had been looking at it for no less than 10hrs but once he pointed it out it was obvious. Great video as always.
What can work sometimes also is actually without breaking them pulling the copper traces up off of the backing then you can solder to them a little easier without messing the rest up and put them back down with the solder mask / nail polish / glue etc bit risky but can work really well.
21mins on is like watching a northridge fix video! good video by the way, enjoyed as usual :)
Come on you guys! This man deserves more love! He makes great content! Keep up the great work vince! I love your videos!😄😄❤️❤️
great job with micro soldering vince, you came a long way, keep up the good work
Soldering on flex is always a pain, especially at the fine pitch. I've done something similar for a USB drive for a coworker just so he could get some files from it. I told him that I couldn't promise how long it would last, but I was using individual copper strands from solder braid. Thankfully it worked, and he told me he used the drive as a test for about a week until the joints failed again. Told him I wouldn't do it again... Fantastic work!!
Great Effort on that Vince. I don't think I'd have even attempted it, but you did a fantastic job even though the screen didn't work. Good job on finding the shorts too, and good of you to help out other smaller channels like mine!👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mick, Mike has helped out my channel with content for a few years now. BTW...I got myself another AM07 Dyson fan!!! 🤣
@@Mymatevince Nice! I have a viewer from Australia, who offered to send me a broken board for my hot and cold version so it's on it's way! I've recently repaired an RGB laser which you might find interesting and next Saturday's video is an £8K ultrasound machine!
I posted "and deleted" as I was going to suggest solder one trace or wire followed by conformal coating or nail polishing the joint, but as I continued watching you ended up doing just that.
D'oh
APU I dropped a like, as I do for every single video of yours, Yup all of them! dont miss any of em..
Good man Koala, you've been supporting this channel for as long as I can remember! Thank you 👌
Nice catch on the short Vince! I thought at fist that it is one of the lines which usually surround the chip's placement. Good eye!
Your patience is unbelievable!
Hi Vince love the videos. I have done mods and recaps before but You have inspired me to start do some troubleshooting and fixing of old consoles. I have had some success and some failures lol. I was wondering What microscope do you use when working on small traces and chips?
Always enjoy your content! This is super interesting, ive never heard of this problem.
Great video as always! Thanks MMV
I love the extra steps. Keep them up!
Awesome! Enjoyed your process, troubleshooting, and the end result speaks for itself. I never owned a GP Pocket. Had a DMG and GP SP, but that was about it. My younger brother was, and still is, a huge Nintendo fan. I'm fairly positive he has owned most, if not all, handheld system Nintendo made. Also sub'ed as requested. Although it is a wash since I've already been subbed to Elliot's channel for a long long time 🤣.
Cheers Shawn, yeah I think Elliot has probably won this one but I live in hope!!!! 😂
Holey moley, this is getting like brain surgery! Really sad this didn't work for you after all that effort. All your videos are so entertaining. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant work Vince! I am loving this grinding pen, it is so much easier to work with this instead of doing this work with a knife. But do you got the smaller grinding tip? I was using the bigger one and it much easier with the sharper/smaller version. You should give it a try! 🙂
great video Vince :) nice try with the repair too :) shame it didn't work :) would of been cool if it did to hear your amazement :)
you can't fix everything don't be too disappointed vince stilll it was a good video mate all the best on your learning curve
I never saw a blue screen on a GB Pocket. Kinda funny it matches up with the shell. Crazy microsoldering there.
With the screen being ruined but you brought the board back to life, I think that Game boy pocket is ripe to be modified with a screen mod so you can have a colour of your choosing and also have a backlight.
Nice repair, nail varnish (Nail Polish) can`t take the heat that's where solder mask is way better , Keep the videos coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one AR, no one has mentioned that before. Thank you👌
Good job mate 👍
Fine motor skills and patience.. You have more than most of us.. Well more than me anyway 😜👍
Nice video, Vince :)
That transparent piece of plastic should be glued to thr back of the ribbon cable. Without that, the contact between the screen ribbon and the motherboard connector is not the best.
Hi! What temurature did you set for working with these microscopic lines of display cable? Thank you for advance... You did great! I like it.
I watch you and Eliot of you already :) I'll give 1up gaming a try next.
If you need really small wire which you clearly need here a good place to get it is by splitting a few strands of your desoldering braid. If it's too thin you can wrap a couple of strands together. I've been doing it for a while and it works really well.
Brilliant try Vince you have more patience then me, I repaired a tab bond to screen driver board on a 75” tv once that had been water damaged there was about 15 traces that were damaged no microscope just used an eyeglass
Good, nail-biting attempt with those fine wires. You may want to invest in some pad strips for future use (Relife board repair pads on ebay or, probably for the best quality, order from northridgefix USA).
woooohooo my more fix video :D
21:04 Wakey wakey!
I still have my GBC from like 23 years ago and last time I checked it actually still works perfectly. Some tough tech
At least you fixed the motherboard. It was very brave of you to attempt to repair that screen! Great video as always!
looks like a prime candidate for a mod project.
Watching you use wire that's wider than the traces you're soldering to makes me anxious you're going to rip the traces off and make things even worse. It's really easy to rip traces when you're not using thin enough wire, even if you manage to solder it on fine, when you touch the wire afterwards it can rip everything off. I learned that the hard way.
I'm surprised a device this old has traces that small. Everything is so big on the original DMG.
13:31 You had a lot more track there before you separated them. The way you separated them caused more damage than it had.
18:50 Also your grinder seems way too aggressive. Get yourself a fiberglass brush/pencil. It can remove solder mask without damaging the track/copper.
I wouldn't let that Mike dude near any device, absolute disaster.
You should do a TH-cam channel video with Tronics Fix again Vince?
idk if anyone else heard it, but the bad screen on the goood board at the start of the video released one hell'va hum when he turned it on.
Great vid
Love the microsoldering, cheers
Is that ribbon cable actually making contact? The exposed part of the pads is very small. Maybe you need to scrape off the coating so there's more exposed.
That's a very good idea. I will grind back to expose more copper and try again👍
I love videos about gameboys!
There's a lot of new replacement screens around now so even when the screen is beyond repair its not game over.
Could have it been possible to glue some conductive adhesive foil on the complete width and cut back the tracks to separate them instead of individual wires ?
I won't even mess with soldering something that small. I would just get a new screen or one of those LCD upgrade kits. I have a hard enough time building those electronic kits you can buy on amazon. The last one I built was an FM stereo radio that has a single SMD chip which is the hardest but all the other components were easier as they were through hole.
That's so bizarre!
A complete blue screen .... but these are black and white systems!
The screens are only able to show white or black and shades in between, how can a failure just add a new colour the screen isn't capable of... It's beyond me haha
Just a heads up Mr V, Cousins are selling for £10.10p... Seiko NH34 GMT movements, automatic, you could build the watch of your dreams with one of them and a set of hands from Ali, a GMT hand is about £2...
Hey Vince I was clearing out my storage closet that had guitar hero/rockband band sets, bunch of controllers like wii etc. they all had batteries in them. it's been about a decade since I've used any of these controllers/instruments and I noticed as I was cleaning out my closet the batteries inside each one were blown up with the battery acid covering the batteries lol, every single item. Is this just something that happens to all batteries overtime?
@@Nebby_99 damn are you saying lithium is best in slot and I should be using Energizer from now on?
Can you do a video about the grinding pen
great video
IPS screens are great for this job. They even have A/V out in some cases.
11:16 I hear a Ebay Notification sound!
I heard it too and was thinking.. item ending or won. I usually put my phone in the other room when recording.
On the top ribbon of the screen, it looked to me like the left most cable had a break in it just below the contact (not the folded end)
Good repair on the board there, we always find that the bigger or more complicated the repair attempt the more likely that the smaller things end up getting overlooked. Sounds to me like the traces on the screen may have been fractured further up during the previous repair attempts which looking at how complex they are is extremely easy to do.
I was wondering if its the chip on that faulty screen because its having that blue screen issue Im not a professional at electronics just What I figured might be the fault
Can I send you a wii u to fix? I replaced the laser eye then the whole CD-ROM unit but it still won’t play pristine game disks.
Should have done one at a time and used a tiny paint brush to put solder mask over the wire connection point before moving on to to the next one that way it would have been harder to knock them off also using to much heat on the soldering iron makes those tiny traces go bye bye so just use enough heat to melt the solder and don't hold it there to long
*TIP*
For fine soldering clean up Never EVER use cotton Tips, Source yourself an extra fine Horse-Hair brush and use that instead..
Holy moley... that was a bodge job.
Never got to a video at the time of upload.
You should do a backlit lcd mod
We shall beat Elot
honestly... Who ever worked on that board originally, Definately did a cowboy job of it.... Looks grubby, Flux residue left over... Horrible soldering joints... and bridged pins...... Ooooffff
The blue one originally had some extremely sloppy work done on it.
Very... it's why it got sent to Vince to have a go at :p
11 mins in.. Facepalm for me :p
😂
Easily done.. Did the same when looking at an ultrasound scanner the other day :)
Tá faltando um video de conserto de um liquidificador.
great try
if that was me i would change over the screen first, then the board and then the body hey presto a working gameboy
How is even possible to display blue color since the screen is monochrome?? I think this is aftermarket screen.
Hi,
Can you fixed my phone water damage? please?
seasons greetings
Couldnt see the Gameboy or your arms because it was all blue dabade dabada. Needed the yellow mat🟨
Nooooooooooooooooooo. The yellow mat is awful! I prefer the blue one (I might be biased tho because I've got the same one).
Its blue becouse voltage is far off nominal for crystal and contrast is high to go blue
I swear I was subscribed, but somehow got unsubscribed; *check your subscriptions, everyone!*
Lul
aaany
Eh Elliott is over rated. Doesn't really fix anything. Just a bunch of drag and drop repairs. Unlike tronics and cod3r, they fix things
as always thanks for the videos
