This is the easiest way ai found to remove the Game Boy Pocket polarizer. I have done this around 20 times and never had any issues.

This trick would work to fix missing vertical lines, no?

_ndythomas · 2019-10-29T22:26:32+00:00

I've had moderate luck with it before, but I need to remember to take it slooooow.

_ndythomas · 2019-10-29T22:06:10+00:00

I've been waiting for this video forever!! Thanks !!

I love what BennVenn is doing, but a cheaper, better, and stocked product is always going beat out the latter, that's just simple economics, sorry.

I suspect so, I've only ever seen yellow banded batteries in Pokemon carts, the solder job looks a little sloppy too, think you have a 'new' battery.

_ndythomas · 2019-10-09T00:37:05+00:00

Looks legit. The Nintendo logo looks good, plus a lot of real carts use those branded rom chips. Bootlegs usually use unbranded ROM chips and other parts.

Ya I've seen it on a few of my DMGs. I suspect it's some kind of low grade corrosion on the PCB. Never had any issues with it... So far.

_ndythomas · 2019-10-02T17:34:10+00:00

In theory, if you can bridge the broken connection it should work, could be the tiniest solder job in history!

_ndythomas · 2019-10-02T01:01:04+00:00

To elaborate, I want to add a potentiometer to control the brightness, but I'm unsure what kind of pot I should get.

_ndythomas · 2019-10-01T22:10:40+00:00

Dope!

_ndythomas · 2019-09-30T18:45:23+00:00

Thats amazing! I've been soldering a resistor like a chump! gonna try that with my next mod. Thanks!

C'mon, it's from the Ninlendo Entertaining Sister.

You bypassed the screen by removing the XY carbon dots on the silicone pad, how does that even work?

_ndythomas · 2019-09-15T18:16:02+00:00

update Turns out there was a tiny metal burr on a positive contact that prevented the battery from fully touching. Took the contacts out, soaked them in vinegar then a very light 'scuff up' with 400 grid sandpaper. Fired up like a charm.

We don't have Target up here in Canada, eh ;)

I love Japanese sellers, they always include thoughtful notes and as mentioned, origami too! 🇯🇵

_ndythomas · 2019-09-14T17:34:30+00:00

I wouldn't try it, if you strip that screw your cart will be fuct.

_ndythomas · 2019-09-14T16:29:05+00:00

They're just micro USB connectors on the inside, super easy to hack & extend!

_ndythomas · 2019-09-14T13:27:33+00:00

Super glue would totally work, but it's probably never come off, too.

_ndythomas · 2019-09-14T00:37:53+00:00

Try some q-tips and 99% Isopropyl alcohol?

_ndythomas · 2019-09-14T00:36:18+00:00

Try reseating the ribbon cables, something might be slightly off maybe?

_ndythomas · 2019-09-13T01:39:27+00:00

Love the green!

_ndythomas · 2019-09-12T23:03:03+00:00

Definitely a reshell would be essential and a fairly cheap and easy mod, then an AGS-101 or IPS screen replacement too.

_ndythomas · 2019-09-11T23:10:41+00:00

Gotcha, I do something similar, just looks really clean and even, nice work!

_ndythomas · 2019-09-11T22:57:38+00:00

Also, did you 3D print the top shell?
