How to Repair GAMEBOY Color Burn Screen Polariser | Super Easy [Tutorial]
Рет қаралды 8,014
Күн бұрынIn this video, I show you How to Fix Game boy Color Burn Screen Polarizer. Refurbished this Gameboy color for $10 from Carousell (Singapore's Craiglist). It has a severely burn screen, there is some corrosion and the speaker is not working. Step by Step guide
The Game Boy Color(JP) (abbreviated as GBC) is the successor of the Game Boy Light. It is slightly larger than the Game Boy Pocket and significantly smaller than the original Game Boy. Game production for the console started in 1998. This was set out to replace the original Game Boy Pocket and nullified Sega's taunts at the "Puke Green Screen" that the original Game Boy (DMG-001) and Game Boy Pocket featured. This helped set the Game Boy far above the competition. The contrasting dial is also removed, as the Game Boy Color now has a color screen.
The system was discontinued in 2003.

For this restoration, Game Boy color LCDs use "circular polarization film", which is different than this linear polarization film.
The original Gameboy and Gameboy pocket use linear.

The Screen burns seen on Game Boy screens usually are in the polarizer and the optically clear glue which attaches the plastic polarizer to the glass. We’re guessing these burns happen when someone leaves their Game Boy out in the sun. Between the sun rays directly striking the top polarizer and the rays bounced back from the reflector at the rear of the screen, that poor polarizer doesn’t stand a chance.

In my case this happened to all my Gameboys that were safely stored in closed boxes inside the closet, no sunlight whatsoever. I heard many stories like mine too, perfectly good Gameboys stored away from sunlight suddenly had their screens burned. It may be because of the heat, not the light.

Dude! Finally I found a video with an actual WORKING link for the polarizer filter! I already got one but its the wrong one even tho I kept an eye on the describtion of the produkt... seems like a lot of sellers are selling polarizers for backlit models only but fail to put that info into the describtion. So thanks buddy!

@@HeyHaffiz I though all Gameboys used the same kind of filter, so thanks for letting me know that GBC ones are different. Can you give me the full specification of the GBC kind? Importing is very expensive in my country, so I'd like to look for the filter in local stores. If I use the word "circular" I get only camera filters in the results... Thanks!

Can you use polarizing films used for smartphones to the gameboy color as well?
@HeyHaffiz 3 жыл бұрын
Not all depends on the type of polarizer film the phone is using. There are 2 types circular and linear polarization film, linear is for the Original Game Boy DMG and the Game Boy Pocket while circular is used for GBC and GBA. Different phones use a different polarizer
