Hii everyone!! ☺️ Here’s my two GameBoys that I have had since I was a kid. I’m thinking for the GameBoy Color to do the screen upgrade with backlight. For the GameBoy Pocket, I will need to do a screen replacement which I want to go with an OEM replacement, or at least OEM spec. I also need to find a battery cover replacement for the Pocket.

Any advice on what to look out for opening these up? And also any advice on where I can start sourcing what I need?

Thanks in advance!

      Yeah, i got my original DMG refurbished and working and as terrible as the screen is, i don’t want to change it. It’s the first gameboy ever made, so there should be a bunch of original ones out there so kids can see just how terrible it was to play in the dark.

      I will buy a gameboy color to mod instead.

      I thought about this too, but this is actually a secondary one. I also have a Kiwi coloured GameBoy Color put away which is staying exactly how it is
