Looking forward to continuing this project in the next video. Special Thanks: Thanks to my wife for modeling the Game Boy in the beginning of the video!

What about a wire brush for the battery terminal corrosion?
Please can you tell me where did you get your screwdriver set from?
Found an excellent condition Gameboy today at a yard sale and it wouldnt power on, thanks to your video it works great now.
I like your style! Wish you still made videos!
I know its been 4 years but... Anyone knows if the process with a zero 2 W or another sbc with the same form factor is the same or at least similar?
Ended up finding a red play it loud dmg at a garage sale. It was missing the back door and screen protector. All it needed was batteries. Now it's been returned to its former glory. The best part is it was only 2 bucks.
I found my two DMGs from my childhood, both have just zero signs of power. No light or anything. So of course the algorithm brings me to this video. Wish me luck!
Same here except my red light turns on a one line goes across the screen. How about yours
@@josephkuser3998is the line vertical or horizontal? And does changing contrast do anything
Nice video, very relaxing. Just wondering if it wouldn’t be good to check the power supply by using a power adapter upfront. Just as an idea….
I wish they still sold the PCB’s.
I really liked this video, learned something today. Do you have links or just names for that screwdriver set and work mat/tray ?
🤔
How does corrosion on an all metal battery terminal cause a short?
Awesome video! Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Where mine says game boy when it turns on it’s just black idk what to do
Lovely video, thanks!
Well if you take nothing else from this, never settle for good enough. Always do the job fully the first time so you don't have to do it a second time
i recomend you Duracell batteries cause Energuizer this dats are coming bad and explote causing corrotion
Would 91% alcohol work
Excellent video. Straight to the point.
If they make the screen touch and put thumbsticks it would be the holy gmail of emulation. I want to make a radaxa zero version
That would be awesome, I have no Idea how they'd fit thumbtacks in! Haha
@theretrophix8898 maybe like a cstick off of a 2ds or 3ds
You are like my favroite person, i did the vertical lines fix but after a bit it wouldnt turn on no matter what i did, just did this, worked like a charm. thank you so much
my friend, is not naRa. is naDa, pronounce the D, do not change it for an R.
Can you please fix my original gameboy
Thanks just what was wrong with my moms old game boy. May she rest in peace im sure shes playing in heaven.
My mother dropped by yesterday, and handed me my old Gameboy😄I was sure it was gone forever, but she’d found it in an old cardboard box. It says DMG-01 on the back, so I’m pretty sure it’s the original version(?). Like the one in this video, there’s no reaction when you engage the power switch. The batteries have been sitting in it for probably 25 years, and I can see there’s corrosion in there. I’m gonna try the tricks you did in this video, but I gotta go tool-shopping first. In stead of phillips-head screws, there are these Y-shaped ones. I’ve never come across that type before…🤔
Wish me luck, I just bought one and it doesn't power on so hopefully it's an easy fix like this one 😅
thanks dude! i did this for my gameboy and it fixed it!
I fixed stuff the simple way (as in replacing batteries and restarting stuff). I have a psp and for years it wasn’t turning on. But this whole time all I had to do was replace its battery with another one. But back to what I was saying, I never fixed stuff as in unscrewing the computer or console, and replacing wires and stuff like that. Where do you learn to fix stuff like that? Because I want to do it but at the same time I’ve never fixed anything like that and I’m scared I’m going to mess it up anyway.
Thanks this was a big help my mom had one but it broken so i did what u said and I mad 250$ from it and brought back memories
I found my old Gameboy and was able to get it to work again following the instructions here. I used WD-40 instead of isopropyl alcohol and it worked fine for the type of corrosion my device had. Great video!
I found my gameboy w batteries obv corroded...im gonna try this. I hope it fixes it.
It worked! Thank you so much!!
Could you help me install games and emulators with my build ?
Your voice sounds like joe rogan haha
Really cool video, looks like a really chill and calming repair, it’s nice to see these old gameboys being repaired and not just dumped in a landfill!
Love the video but I gotta ask, where did you get the screwdriver set, looking for a good set to work on my gameboy.
DMG power switch replacement is a tough one, but something I've run into a few times. There aren't any straight up replacement switches being made for the DMG so creative craftsmanship, a rotary tool, and soldering jumper wiring is the only going solution for that particular job. It would make a great video seeing as no one has had the balls yet to try that one on BoobTube. Great video btw.
Im a beast at Tetris DX :)
all it needs now is the analog sticks and the L3 and R3 buttons
Yeah! That's what I was saying. There is so much Systems that have analog sticks that I want to emulate. And u can replace the rpi zero with a radaxa zero. That would be the best thing I have ever thinked of
I really enjoy the quality in this video. No unnecessary talking and to the point. Very good, thank you.
Only 191 subs? Damn. This is some seriously good content.
How much does all of this cost?
Dependent on what you want there could be slight variation but here’s the basic rundown. Helders game tech mintypi kit: 80$ Mintypi battery: 10$ Altoids tin (laser cut from helder): 10$ Raspberry pi zero w: 10$-20$ Button pcb: around 10$ 3D printed frame for mintypi: 30$-40$ SD card to load retropie onto: varying price
I have a gameboy with a simular power issue. I will be sure to try it out what you did here. Great videos, keep up the good content!
Your videos are great! I subscribed and can't wait untill the next video!
can you link your screwdriver set?
Thanks to you, my Gameboy is working again! Thank you
Here is a alternative Beat it with a hammer
Im about to give this a try on a rare yellow original gameboy i was able to pick up along with a new, but opened box gray gameboy. The yellow one doesn't power on which is why i got it so cheap, so ill be sure to comment and let you know how it goes!
You legit sound like Joe Rogan
lol
"Doctor, my kid has been staring down an Altoids tin for an hour..."
quelorepario lol 😂 I laughed way to much when I sall this
