This Dead Game Boy Was Hiding a Nasty Surprise…
About this video
Dead vertical lines on the LCD and corroded battery terminals are among the faults on a Game Boy DMG that arrived dead, before a recap, reflow and shell restoration.
Good to know: Battery residue is corrosive. Soldering means burns and fumes; retrobriting peroxide burns skin and eyes, and UV harms eyes.
Why watch it
The original LCD is repaired, not swapped for a new screen, so the dead vertical lines are dealt with on the factory part. The shell restoration follows the electronics.
