    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.

    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…🤔

  • @tcm128
    @tcm128 2 роки тому

    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.

  • @BashoStrikes
    @BashoStrikes 3 роки тому

    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.
