I Bought 6 Broken Game Boys - Let's Try to Fix Them!

Exactly! They don’t want their products repairable so we’ll buy more. They care about making money a lot more than consuming earth’s limited resources.

Your àwesome

the screen shouldnt shake that when a game is playing.

How are you using Q tips without leaving cotton fiber everywhere ? Are they special type of Q tips ?

U would b surprised on how clean u can get realy Corroded battery contacts with some lemon or lime juice

Why to remove polarizer you didn't use alcohol ?

Do you sell these devices that you are able to fix? If so where? Thanks.

Not a Y 0 triforce 😊

I've been trying to find some cool "broken" items or "for spares or repairs" items but I just can find anything good online? Where do you find most of these?

For something that old, a bit of grime is expected along with wear and tear. I still have my multi tap to join one gameboy to others and its still in its box. Its never been open or used 👍

White vinegar dissolves that corrosion pretty well so could use it on the plastic and then just make sure it’s all cleaned up, gets in the nooks a lot easier

where you buy the bundles

I wish I could go back in time to learn stuff like this. I wasted so much time in dead end jobs without trying to learn anything.

Gotta Love His Content.

Are you sell them if you are I'm interested

I like to desolder the corroded battery terminals and just soak em in distilled white vinegar. That corrosion will just dissolve right off of there.

Alcohol eats away at adhesive, so just use some alcohol when removing polarizers, less risk of breaking the glass due to less pressure needed to pull off the polarizer.

This video made me want to buy a gameboy

i have a broken blue somehow

Hey, my gameboy shows a completely black screen when I turn it on, no matter what game, its not the contrast. How to fix? :)

I got 1 white and 2 blue 🙂

This guy is a repair ninja

Also, another banger episode,Steve!

Is there some kind of software that one can use to determine if a PS3 is good ,or bad before buying? Yes I'm a bit of a noob lol

In this video have little history of manufacturing job done good point ..

The battery corrosion will disolve in vinegar.

I may be out of the loop, but what happens with all the consoles, computers, etc. that you clean, and get back to great condition?

does anyone know how much these DMG 01s are worth now since being restored and cleaned?

"Use a chemical to eat the rust..."

Yeah. It's Vinegar. If you don't have vinegar, you can also use citric acid dish detergent booster, which is available widely in most grocery stores. A common brand name is Lemishine.

It also has the side benefit of neutralizing all the alkaline battery leakage.

How come your video makes it appear the GB screen is flickering when other videos I see of DMG Game Boys don't do that? Odd. Are you using some unusual frame rate for recording that others aren't?

I have a question bout my Pokemon leaf green it says that the 1m circuit board not installed any idea how to fix it I'm not knowledgeable bout it but it would help to get an answer for someone to help me fix it

You are amazing. Keep up the great work.

Why don't u use boiling water on the corrosion? It works like a charm on the metal👌

Frankly i think you did the green one very wrong. In generall you scrape imo too much with picks instead of scrubbing all the loose stuff 1st with a brush and IPA. As for the green one, taking care of the screen should have come last after cleaning all the plastics etc. Oh and you even noticed that yourself xD Good for you man hehe

What temp was your soldering iron when you were rubbing it accross the ribbon cable below the screen ?

Lay a piece of foil accross the corroded part and put batteries in to test to see if the unit works or if you have bigger problems before going to the effort of cleaning. Will save you time.

I still have my radiant red with the hard case. No warranty card though. Need to get my Gameboy fixed because it won't play games with saves. I dunked it in the tub as a kid. Thought it could be played under water for some reason.

I still have my blue Gameboy somewhere the only issue is: It still works like on day one, all of my consoles I still have do, my games always broke tho

curious mate ... why not dunk the entire hard casing/ external buttons in a mixture of degreaser and soak/ scrub prior to adding the polarizer, reassembling, and spot claiming? No hate, just how I might do it <3

If I had to clean as much nasty crap as you, I believe I'd be forced to invest in a really nice ultrasonic cleaner.

Well 3 out of 6 were not broken at all.
And the green one was not tested before you clean it. So it was maybe working too.

Using a Hot air station at about 200-250 degrees works very well for vertical screen lines. Much better than the soldering iron most people seem to use.

Loves the shout out against constructors, long live the right to repair and TronicsFix!
The video was cool too.

Edit: Rewatching it I was screaming "the contrast dial" for the black one, me dum dum.

Hello where can you get the battery terminals if you don’t mind me asking? Many thanks love the video. Chris from the UK 👍👌🤜

I saw that cut off shame,trying to take a game out of the gameboy still on.why was it so hard huh 😂

do you sell theese?

Love all your videos dude. "The perfect amount of thermal paste" 😅. Gets me every time.

How do you find these good deals, I would live to fix some old electronics. Can never find a half decent deal on ebay.
