Use the new GB instead, which is in better shape !!!
What we are looking for is to replace a defective screen by a new one and not taken from an original GB.

yeah i have my fav GB and GBC games running on an emulator on my DS, but it’s just not the same as holding the loveable grey brick in my hands!

Glad you enjoyed! Check out the rest of my Stupid Inventions and let me know what you think!

You’re keeping original game boy hardware working!

if I could shake your hand and buy you a cup of coffee i’d do it in a heartbeat!
Nice work!

Happy Birthday (belatedly) game boy!

I run a portable emulator system now, but it all started with game boy back when it first came out.
I still carry all my GB and GBC favorites to this day.

Be well!

Or throw it back into the electronic junk pile…

The sped-up part is WAYY too long! (I made the same mistake in the creation of a class project)

I’ve never needed a tri-wing screwdriver. My 1.8 mm flathead works just fine. (Takes a little extra pressure, but it doesn’t destroy the heads.)

i actually agree with you, normally i would do a retake when i start to stutter or forget what i’m saying, but with this video i did everything in one take because i was pressed for time.

watch my other videos and let me know if you have the same problem, thanks!

I agree with you ziarkaen, but this was meant to help out and explain fixing the Gameboy to people with zero electronics experience whatsoever, so i’m sorry if i repeat myself in the video!

Also, although there are much more awesome gameboy hacks on this site, I think they posted mine because it mentions and was made to celebrate the Gameboy’s 20th birthday, which was this past tuesday.

Thanks!
