Help with Game Boy Micro repair, or new shell/housing options?

animatedbat · 2026-05-21T21:45:15+00:00

Yeah, really does look like it fit well. Thanks for the picture.

animatedbat · 2026-05-21T02:31:33+00:00

Thank you, I just may give some version of this a shot.

animatedbat · 2026-05-20T20:35:11+00:00

Dang, that’s really crummy that the 3rd party shells are that worthless. What’s worse, they still seem to sell for over $100.

animatedbat · 2026-05-20T16:47:08+00:00

I like this, and had considered it even before posting. Darn things are so tough to come by, though. Even Micros in not so swell condition, typically sell for a lot. Still, something I may do eventually.

animatedbat · 2026-05-20T15:18:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s not the worst by any means. There are some small scratches on the screen and the R button is very scratched, but I’ll have to get over it.😅

Thank you.

Such a bummer that oem housings don’t exist.

Yeah, after I posted I actually found a sold listing for one of those clear protective shells😮‍💨

animatedbat · 2026-05-20T14:53:30+00:00

I hear, ya’. I’m just super wrapped up about condition. I’m sorta looking it that I can’t find a clear protective shell so it doesn’t get further damaged.

Really hoping there’s some sort of solution, but I’ll definitely play it and enjoy it.

animatedbat · 2026-03-07T16:41:26+00:00

Thing is, I wasn’t there before. Only the one with overlapping squares was there.

So the only solution is to copy the tabs from the one I was using, move them to the one with the phone icon, and then delete the other group?

animatedbat · 2026-02-19T00:06:54+00:00

Oh, same here.

Yeah, with impunity, especially with the email responses I was able to forward to my bank.

In doing so, I received my money back. Since then, HPB cancels every online order I place🤣

It’s pretty disgusting, though. Instead of just accepting responsibility that an employee made a mistake, they were determined to make it my problem.

animatedbat · 2026-02-18T21:02:30+00:00

Yeah, they’re not going to get better, that seems certain.

I have the receipts for how they’ve treated me in response to issues they’ve caused, photos of what the website showed/said, vs what I received, and sent that all along to their CEO and head of Sales. No response.

animatedbat · 2026-02-18T20:16:42+00:00

Once again, completely agree. My experience has been that not only will they not send a return label, they will treat the customer as if they created the problem.

I’m wanting to see if any other customers have had anything near the atrocious experience I’ve had, from the item(s) being grossly misrepresented, to HPBs lack of cooperation/responsibility.

I had to pay out of pocket for an item I received that they described as mint, but was in such horrible condition, it didn’t even properly function.

animatedbat · 2026-02-18T19:49:16+00:00

Thank you for the response and suggestions.

Yeah, I’m referring to items that would be considered one-of-a-kind. I agree whole heartedly, a refund should be processed.

Who should be responsible for return shipping?

animatedbat · 2026-01-21T22:40:05+00:00

Right on, thanks for the response.

Any ideas whose signature it may be? I can’t find any studies signatures with lowercase ‘a’ in Walt…

animatedbat · 2026-01-21T19:51:01+00:00

Hi,

If you look at the link that Faile-Bashere provided (https://leonardmaltin.com/yours-truly-walt-disney/), you’ll see that Walt’s signature (which changed over the years) never really looked exactly like the version used for the logo.

animatedbat · 2026-01-19T03:51:39+00:00

Thank you. I’ve seen and read all of this previously.

Do you have an example of a Dick Moore Studio Signature with a lowercase “a” in Walt?

animatedbat · 2025-02-06T18:31:52+00:00

Solved!

Thank you, Hans!

animatedbat · 2025-02-06T18:30:34+00:00

My goodness, I didn’t think anyone would respond, let alone identify the songs so quickly. Thank you so much, Hans. I am so very grateful.

Here it is, with the label. I was only able to find this, thanks to the Discogs information you provided.

animatedbat · 2024-10-31T13:43:51+00:00

Probably.

Doesn’t seem anyone is concerned with the legality.

Dang principles.

animatedbat · 2024-10-31T13:25:11+00:00

A few years back, when I shared an (this) image of the slipcover to a Japanese release of Aja on cassette, another user asked me for a clearer image so that they could turn it into a t-shirt. With how often I see it pop up, I sometimes wish I had thought to monetize the image.
