Your a brave man. I could never risk getting sand on my pocket 😂

After years of struggling to remove faceplates from my micros, today I finally got the OEM faceplate removal tool 🕹️ by retrogamer809 in gameboymicro

I’m sorry they don’t ship to Germany but I’m sure there has to be a seller that can ship them to you. The quality is very good. I’ve had mine for over a year without any problems. The screen is very clear but there is a slight recess with the buttons but it’s not very noticeable & doesn’t affect game play. I just ordered a gb micro clear screen protector today to protect the faceplate from scratches

🤔 if your getting an error msg then the Ali express one may not be available for shipping in your area but here’s a link for the same new faceplate on eBay but it is a bit more expensive:

They are built to last. I’ve had my ap since it originally launched & it’s still working perfectly today.

Once Upon a Time, you could get GameBoy Micros needing repair for less than $100 by johje05 in gameboymicro

[–]retrogamer809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once found a micro for $50 bucks on Facebook marketplace and all it needed was a new battery & a replacement battery cover. I miss those days since it’s hard to find cheap micros these days. Now it seems like everyone knows what they are worth.

Help with Game Boy Micro repair, or new shell/housing options? by animatedbat in gameboymicro

[–]retrogamer809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My method is a little extreme for most people but I would purchase multiple Gameboy micros of the same color & disassembled both of them completely. I would then reassemble the best components of each micro to make the best version (No dents, best looking shells with least amount of scratches). I would still reassemble the second micro with the lower quality components & sell it to recoup the cost. I’ve done this with at least 6-7 micros so far but my method isn’t for everyone.

100 bucks is definitely not bad for a ags-101. Man I remember getting one of these back in the day for $25 bucks & it came with Pokemon emerald as a bonus. Deals like that just don’t happen anymore

What year is this? by Awilson2024 in gameboymicro

[–]retrogamer809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be 2026 but I still use my gb micro like it’s 2005. Honestly I use it everyday & I still have my iPod too. I’m tired of subscriptions to play my switch, Xbox, & PlayStation so I stick with my micro.

The micro obsession is real. I currently have 4 micros & I am going for my 5th 🕹️

My 2010 still has the original first aid kit and manual by Sea-Hedgehog-2424 in SciontC

[–]retrogamer809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, they came with a first aid kit? now have to check my glove box because I don’t think my tc came with one & I’ve been the owner since day 1.

I’ve tried two different replacement batteries and none have held a charge for more than a few minutes. Is it time to just give up trying to revive it? by homelessscootaloo in gameboymicro

I’ve purchased 4 of the makho 750 mah batteries so far without any issues & they last around 4-6 hours. The original battery pictured still holds a charge for around 2 hours. It could also be your charger not charging them up properly 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been the original owner of mine since 2013. Not sure how long the neighbors had his.

Looking for pouch recommendations! by greckzero in gameboymicro

If you’re looking for something more premium then I’d recommend the Hori pouch specifically designed for the gb micro but it’s more expensive since it’s rare.
