$5 Ebay Nintendo Game & Watch - Spares or Repairs?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In todays repair, we tackle the 1982 Nintendo Game and Watch! This particular one was a faulty Donkey Kong I picked up from Ebay for just under $5! I picked another one a few months back for about $20 boxed! That one also had few problems. Can I mix and match and make one fully working one?

do not throw away the damaged ribbon cable, i fixed mine with a Conductive Paint Pen.
If you are interested, i have one G&W that does not work and i could not figure out why. i would send it do you for free, if you are interested.
hope Elliot sees this
Oh he'll definitely be interested in that. Send it to his PO Box.
Send him a message on Twitter or Facebook
Jokr wholesome? What's that mean
Hey man, if you have Facebook join the community. You’ll enjoy it. You’ll learn a lot!
I Have old very Good 8 Box Game in 1980’s From Australia
I love the game and watch so much

Great repair. Love the Game and Watches!
I see violence being implemented to that videogame console
😂😂😂
I am 44 years old so I remember playing with these as a kid, they were very popular and lots of kids at school had them. It's great to see them being appreciated by people who were not even born (I assume!) when they were around.
Keep up the great work!! You are a massive inspiration!
My mate had one of these back in the 80s, i must admit i found it just very frustrating and at the time i had an Amstrad cpc so it was no comparison, for me it was like comparing a jet to bike haha, little did i know what was to come in technology! another great video btw
This was my first computer game, aged 5. I LOVED it, though once I'd "clocked it" (ie scored more than 100 points at which point it returns to 0 pts) 3 times, I lost a bit of interest, and started messing around with its insides. I still have it, but it's not in the best condition...! You've almost inspired me to look for a donor device to restore mine with... I know for one that I need a new ribbon, as - well, I was curious how the ribbon worked... and decided to poke holes in it til something happened..! :}
Keep up the good work mate love your vids
Do a video where you don’t wear the cap and glasses. I wanna see those thicc brows boi
I used to have one, but it aged, and it got thrown away...
I miss it so much.
Awesome stuff, too bad working G&W are so expensive now. If you want to put the finishing touches you can find orange battery covers on eBay.
Or even buy a replacement one even cheaper. There is one seller offering color matched ones that look really close to the original at a fraction of the price.
Absolutely love g&w's, was super lucky to have my nearly mint octopus and the donald and mickey Roarke kindly gifted me.
Nice one man!
Hi ! I got a Donkey Kong like your's in the video. Do you have any Idea how I could get the front metal ? Or any spare for that ? I would love to put restaurate mine a little ... Andy help would be appreciated. Thanks !
Ended up looking amazing! (apart from the battery cover) Good job TRF!
Thank you James
Very interesting and noice to see you fix a Game & Watch! Just gotta love the old retro games. I feel like getting my self one too
Hi, great video. I found mine on the attic but it's missing the outside shield "Game & Watch Nintendo. Donkey Kong Multiscreen." Do you have any tips to get one?
Did the ribbon cable end up needing to be replaced in the end, or was the issue all from the poor connection at the PCB? My Donkey Kong has the exact same set of sprites missing.
Hi, thanks for the great video!
Wondering if you have any link or clip how to assemble the ribbon cable and the LCD screen. I had a ‘great idea’ to clean my DK and ended up with a challenge to stick everything together…
That Game&Watch is the first game I had as a kid, my parents got it for me during a trip to Spain in around '86. I remember the bloops and bleeps driving them mental when they realised what they had unleashed :P
My first "computer game". 1983 brand new from the cigarette counter at a major grocery store. I played it so much till about 4 years later I got the bug of taking everything apart and you can guess what happened from there.....
First DPAD and still the best! Lovely tear down. Going to help when I try my first polarizer replacement to fix my DK II.
Just ruined my new Nintendo 3ds xL but glad to see you got your game n watch to work. Love your vids, keep up the good work
What happened?
Yeah, what happend?
kokodrilo 7 An audio ribbon cable got torn when I was putting it back in. So now I’m just gonna get a new speaker for it all then start over
@@rumorfrancis3096 oh u dont have to buy new speaker just buy new ribbon cable and solder it
kokodrilo 7 depending on the prices, I’ll look into it because it could be better for prices
So to have a fully complete Donkey Kong G&W is it just the battery cover that you need now?
Like the James Bond NATO watch strap on your watch there. BTW not sure if it was Big Clive or someone else who said some universities have the capability to reproduce plastic backed circuit wafers I think the technical term is as I am after one for my 1980's Vespa but I do think its possible now to get reproduction ribbon cables, zebra strips and flexible circuit boards made and prob better than the original too.
Is that a normal thing that the ribbon cable is exposed at the folding hinge? Makes sense why they all conk out eventually I guess.
I have three of these consoles all three have the same problem the same battery terminal on each is broken, can the terminals be replaced/repaired as these games belong to a boy with Autism and mental disabilities who can only play these games and they are getting so expensive now and harder to find but it keeps him settled which is all that matters any help would be appreciated!
The first D-Pad in existence
I have a game and watch rain and shower in good condition yes there are 3 or 4 scratches on the back and front but still good wuld you like to take a look on it to see if its still good i also have the batery cover
I wish my Lifeboat Game & Watch was still working condition. Is there any place (other than eBay) I can buy a working one?
Are you selling the broken one?
Retro phones
Can’t find any spares, where can I get spare buttons?
should have created a white reflective film instead of gray
How to get all the scratches from the top part/metal pice ?
Great repair video,great tribute !
Thanks
Nice vid
Wonder if that retrace wasn't the issue to begin with?
I've got the very one my dad had as a kid. didn't lose the battery cover. though the clip for the lid did break off some time.
Good old Mr Sheen to save the day
I’m surprised that they designed it so the ribbon cable is just... exposed during normal use. No wonder so many break.
Nintendo Ds ancestor? xD
How do you find these for $5?
Great fix, congrats on having a fully working unit. Though like someone else below said you could possibly use conductive glue to fix the other ribbon cable if it's torn.
I have that game and watch. I wonder if it still works. I have not tried it in over 20 years.
great job fixing it.
Konnichiwa from Japan! I like the chrysanthemum crest on your shirt. Represent!
Great vid. I love the game and watch games. Dug mine out recently to show the kids. Donkey kong, zelda and tropical fish saw me though many a long journey
can I buy this ?
Spares for sale...
i like your video
One of the local game stores in my town sells the old Game and Watch handhelds, but they are rather expensive.
thanks for the video love u and ur vids
also can u do a new 3ds or new 3ds xl i want to buy one so i want to know how it works (from a professional) before i do any repairs. thanks
This is a dream?
I'm just glad that I still have mine, in working order also. These little items are a treasure to own and still function. A great video and tribute to an excellent gaming gadget ;)

Thank you!
Nice vid
My Mario's Cement Factory game and watch required a very odd fix! I flipped the metal film behind the polarizer, and everything was fine again. I guess it was opened before.
Yep the reflector is laminated on one side with the rear polarizer so whoever opened it put it back in the wrong orientation, figure they broke it when nothing showed on the lcd and gave/sold it away lol
This has to be one of your most exciting videos brother.
Nice! 你完成了一件很好的收藏品。
Ha the game and watch is cool to look back to
It's 12:34 p.m. where I live
Those game and watch systems seem cool!
I dont need sleep
I need to know how to fix stuff
I remember staring at these at Kmart's jeweler counter back in the 80's all of them clicking around on the screens. They were about $25 back then.
If I could go back in time, buy a full set and keep them in mint condition ... (I'd say never open them, but let's be honest I'd have to or I'd go insane)
@@sjm4306 at one point you could get all the game and watch on to your DSi , DSi XL, but Nintendo got rid of the shop. I at least got cement factory on my DSi XL.
I kinda wanna get a game and watch now lol
Great video as always ❤️👍
Second, its 12:34 am in Costa Rica
Keep up with the good vidz!
ayeeeee its a mee a markusss
Do you ever fix ps3 consoles with red light of death?
Ps3 slim, or the original?

Good video mate
Hi
Sup
hey bois
Elliot, can you help me? I did a backlight and bivert on my dmg, thanks to your videos...
But know i have hexagonal pattern on the screen? I’ve plugged the screen into another working gameboy, same thing so it’s definitely the screen. Is it repairable? It worked before lol...Thanks
You know, I have owned one of those since they were new. And it never clicked to me when the DS came out that it was based on this. Everyone was calling the design crazy and revolutionary. It was just a Game and Watch.
Elliot why don’t you make a replacement battery cover out of the spare original plastic you have? It’s broken and could serve you well! 🔥🔥
Im having sound issues with my octopus version. Any ideas. The resistance accros the speaker is appro 8 ohm. Thanks
5$ are you sure?? Only box cost 50$
How do you know its original those things have been rereleased so many times and theres so many fakes
if you want measure out the inside and I will build one and try and 3d print it
What type of metallic sicker or tape do they use?
Spares for sale...its from the 80s
Lol no one sells those for that cheap
Does he have a place where he sells his repaired products?
I had an "Game & Watch" unused and Original
Can you try to restore the falty one too ? :)
