• Apr 17, 2013  Been meaning to do this for some time. This was first done back in 2010 but the person who showed photos of it never released a full tutorial on.
• .RESTORED. ORIGINAL NINTENDO Game Boy Console System Dmg-01 Fast Ship Grey Gray - $79.99. The gameboy was completely taken apart and cleaned inside and out. Buttons and button pads were cleaned, case was cleaned, screen was repaired if needed, and battery corrosion was removed from the battery terminals if needed.

Nov 24, 2013  How to repair Gameboy commom problems How to fix Nintendo Gameboy common problems. Recently, I came across a Gameboy at Goodwill for $6.99. While inspecting it I noticed the battery contacts where very corroded but the Gameboy was complete albeit very dirty likely from years of use and the lack of the previous owner taking good care of it.

This is a list of case colors and styles that have been produced for the Game Boy line of handheld systems since 1989.
