      Wood is from Austrailia so probably colder in the states than people acclimated to the weather. I grew up in Wisonsin and lived in Arizona for a year in my early 20's during the summer it would reach 125 F and the winters got as "low" as 75 F and I'd be outside with a hat and jacket. Our bodies are weird.

    For speaker issues, first order of business is replacing the 20+ year old capacitor in the audio circuit. Also hitting the headphone jack with some isopropyl alcohol because there's a mechanical switch in there that can get dirty. If it's still too quiet (the GBC is pretty quiet relatively) there are audio amp options out there to pump up the volume.

    • @WulffDen
      @WulffDen  Рік тому +14

      Yeah i think the capacitor will fix mine. I replaced the speaker with a real game boy color speaker after this video, I'm just waiting for the new capacitor to come cause I broke the one I ordered for the video lol

      a replacement speaker should have the same impedance, usual values are 4 and 8 ohms. i'd hazard to guess the switch speaker was higher than the gb.

    The capacitor you put in with the speaker is going to act like a filter. It’ll filter out noise at some frequency. You need to match the impedance of the old speaker to get it to work like the old one. Else you have to add additional circuitry and power to correctly power the switch speaker

    For anyone doing this mod the black tab that’s below the tch pad IS the touch sensor no need to solder a seperate touch sensor on…also for the low volume clean the volume wheel with some 99% ipa and replace all the capacitors on the motherboard and if your going that far may aswell pick up a funny playing speaker replacement 👍👍

    I had just finished modding a GBA with the Minish Cap shell and IPS screen but I already had a GBA that needed a good shell. I went to start doing a GBC with the original GB color shell/buttons but after adding up the price for all the parts and a decent GBC on ebay, I ended up buying a prebuilt one for around $180.
