I Restored This 2$ Ebay Junk Game Boy Color - Retro Console Restoration & Repair

After a while of searching I was able to find bad enough Game Boy for my restoration videos only for $2. Usually I have to pay a little extra for the worst items. The console was sold as junk and for spares but pretty much everything except the speaker is broken. The mother board doesn’t power on. The shell is badly yellowed. Stickers are in terrible condition and the screen is badly burned. I will try to restore this fully rather than use it as spares for easier projects because I’d still have to fix most of the parts. The Gameboy T-shirt is no longer available. It was limited time only.
I started the restoration by trying to get the power on. First I tried to clean corroded the contacts but that was no use. The power switch was working fine which meant the board was bad. Luckily I was able to find the broken part with a second GB color I have. The connection from one battery terminal had broken quite near the terminal I soldered a wire between the spots that were supposed to have a connection and it worked. This might not always work because it might leave something out of the circuit.
The corroded terminal was hard to clean while it was on the board so I desoldered it and removed the corrosion with rust remover, after which it was plated with nickel. Nickel will protect it from corrosion to certain extent. Nickel plating tutorial: • How to make simple DIY...
Now that I had power I could fix the screen. To fix “screen burn” I need to remove the burn polarizing filter and replace It with a new one. A sharp blade can be used to get the start but after that the filter will peel off by hand. Some of the glue will stay on the screen. I removed it with Isopropyl alcohol. All glue must be removed or the new polarizing filter will have bubbles. When putting a new polarizing filter on one must figure out which way the polarizing filter works best on the screen. It will only work at a certain angle.
I also removed the yellowing from the plastic shell which was supposed to be colorless. For this I used the same retrobrighting method as always. H2O2 and UV-light. Full tutorial here: • How to remove yellowin...

Isopropyl alcohol is a cleaning agent like water. However, unlike water, the negative dipole is concentrated on a sterically hindered oxygen by two methyl groups and a proton. With water, the oxygen has the second energy level valence electrons exposed with a strong negative dipole. The stronger dipole makes water more likely to form highly charged ions. Therefore, when isopropyl alcohol contacts a semi-conductor (such as silicon dioxide) there is not enough of a charge to cause a short circuit. However, with water there is. Basically, isopropyl alcohol is a cleaning agent that won't destroy computer boards. It's like cleaning a table with water.

@Sagess Aries wd40 with its 40 applications usually is better but also more expensive, then again in this case i would say no, the silicon will form a film closing in dirt in scratches in the plastic, the joke about isopropyl alcohol especially the one he is using is that it say universal reiniger , reiniger being dutch for cleaner, so sure its even branded as universal cleaner

@jhorseman3410 4 жыл бұрын

If you ever encounter something that isn't cleanable with isopropyl, try sulfuric acid. Not only does it clean everything, it also (di)solves most other problems.

Hearing that old music boot up on the console after the tender, love, and care you put back into it, brought a tear to my eye, and put a smile on my face. All of the memories came flooding back of the times I played my color and advance sp, and how much time has passed since. I'm turning 28 in July, and I got a tickle of the joy that era of gaming brought me (which was a fraction of the joy this lad, the original owner, probably had). Randomly came upon this video in my feed, and I'm glad I did. Hope this unit is happy with its new owner now, and thanks for what you do!

Great job! Before I stumbled across your channel I would never have guessed it is even possible to restore something crushed like this cute little GameBoy! But seeing the amount of time it took it’s clear nobody does it any more except for entertainment of us 😅! I like the filming and editing as a little story without music etc.

Everytime I watched this kind of video, my mind always casted into the restored article history. Like the kid who is the original owner of this GBC. That kid now must've became an adult and maybe they bought their own kid a game console as well. The bittersweet thing is that, even if that kid watches this video, they never knew that it was their old GBC that has been restored like the day they received it and played it earnestly.

what a great watch. high quality closeup footage, no annoying music blaring/babies crying/stumbling through talking. straight to the point and informative A+ liked/subbed. I wish videos like this were around 5+ years ago when I was and could still work on electronics (I had two major strokes last year and lost use of one hand and most of that arm) I can only walk my wife/11 year old daughter through things now and their confidence level is non existent tinkering with electronics but for the more precise plugging/unplugging and handling small components and screws/changing my bits/handing me tools they are the best helpers. never knew there was a process for getting rid of yellowing. does that also work on solid color cases like NES, Dreamcast, original Gameboy? I always just assumed people stripped and repainted things at that point

I have the exact same gameboy and it's over 20 years old. This particular color wasn't only sold in Japan, since we're from germany. Anyways I had forgotten some years ago the batteries inside and they did a huge damage on the inside, it was horrible. It got fixed though and still works. You can still see some of the corossion or slightly yellowness on the white board from the inside, from the damage that had been cause, but it's minimal. The batteries had practically melted and gone almost everywhere. So glad it got fixed.
