    Nice! I'll have to keep this in mind in case my Wonderswan ever has a similar problem.

    Any ideas on where I can find a shell to buy? They seem impossible to be found

    Hi!
    Nice video :) I have a question, do you know where to find Wonderswan replacments? I bought one a week ago and received it today. It lacks one button and I can’t find any replacements. On the other hand, It plays no sound and I was wondering if it is supposed to play anything if there’s no game inserted since I have none yet. Thanks for your time.

      Replacements for the original Wonderswan are not easy to get, I would suggest maybe getting a parts / spares repairs Wonderswan and use the buttons from that.
      When the Wonderswan boots up and if the volume is up, you should hear a boot sound regardless if a game is inserted or not. If you are not, you may have to teardown the device and check the capacitors, speaker and go over the board for any corrosion.
      Hope this helps.

      Just came out with another question. Would Wonderswan color buttons work as a replacement?

      @@NimrhodelValgar I've not worked on the Wonderswan Color, so I'm not sure. Might be best to ask on a Wonderswan Facebook or discord group. Hope this helps.
