Fixing a Game Boy with a lemon? Ok, let's not get too clickbaity, it's lemon juice. The Game Boy was sold as not working.
In this video I've bought a broken Gameboy from eBay with a reported display issue. Can I bring it back to life? Will I need expertise or just some household items?

I'm amazed you don't have 10 or 100x as many subs. You got a new one today (me)!

Great video! You're right about the motion blur on the big gameboys. Funny what we put up with because we didnt know any better

Yeah! It even got me thinking 'maybe the screens just get worse over time' but looking elsewhere, I can see this was a common thing, and actually I can remember the feeling almost like muscle-memory when playing it. I guess it's one of the games that might actually play better emulated!

@@ScottMadeAThing one of the big improvements on the Gameboy pocket screen was that motion blur. Still probably terrible by modern standard 😄

pro tip: the contrast wheel is meant for brightness, but putting it on a darker setting helps with motion blur. makes mario land 1 much more playable lol

Ohh nice thank you! When I was a kid I had the epic light, speaker and magnifier all in one and don't remember it being too uncomfortable on the eye. On the hands, maybe 😂
