EXTREME Gameboy color restoration! Batteries did this?

[@zJericho101z]

Crazy amount of work for such a commonly available console. Cool to see non the less and at least it's not in the landfill.

[@Solder_king]

These often come in with a lot of sentimental value behind them and that is part of the reason why I stop at nothing. The other part is I love it lol

[@sakurLOL]

I love to see those consoles come back to life, its amazing how you can fix something being damaged so bad

[@liamthoralexanderspencer4684]

First time watching and let me just say, this is the type of stuff THAT I STRIVE TO BE ABLE TO DO! Not just repair in general but to this level! Keep it up!

[@X41-f4t]

Have you tried getting fiberglass pens for soldermask removal? Far less anxiety inducing and dangerous for the pcb, it allows working in very localised areas and you don't have to remove the components. It's great, I can highly recommend it

[@Solder_king]

I've used them in the past. But personally didn't like the feel of them. Like nails on a chalkboard lol. But I can try them again maybe.

[@X41-f4t]

@@Solder_king ahh i know exactly what you mean, but i don't think that's ever gonna go away. they're gonna keep that horrible scraping feeling forever unless they start making padded pens :P

[@Giovanni12332]

the 150 grit seemed excessive bro. really good/informative video though thanks.

[@chochkeys]

Your repairs are so awesome! I really like your commentary and thought process

[@Solder_king]

Thank you :) that means a lot! It's something I'm really working hard on

[@jameslaraia]

Once again, living up to the name Solderking. I really enjoy your content and learn a lot from it. I can do a lot of the fine soldering, but im still building my electrical and fault finding knowledge. Thanks for the video!!

[@handicappedhoods]

The way you solder SMDs with your iron is inspiring!

[@lidianegrepardillo9382]

I turned crazy searching a video like yours. My motherboard is really broken and I didin't know hoy can I fixbthe buttons since now. I'll try, thnks a lot for the video

[@davewarnock8779]

Incredible work. Though seeing how much went into this, I'm stuck looking for a new PCB, I really think mine is beyond saving.

[@sojannedos]

You should consider sending it to him! I've seen him do even more "impossible" work.

I have a portable tape player that runs too slowly. I tried to get at the trimmer pots to speed it up but in the attempt, I broke the battery positive wire off the PCB. At that point, I realised I was out of my depth and put all the parts into a bag along with a few other portable tape and CD players that I picked up for cheap on eBay as faulty. If you could take a look at them, it would be much appreciated. I'm happy to pay for postage, but the repair budget may be limited. I have done some diagnostics on them and can list the various faults I found if you choose to accept this request. Either way, thank you for your time, and thanks for making this video! It's always nice to see something so badly damaged go back to fully working.

[@j.a.styles547]

You just need a reason to desolder and solder all the parts, amazing, really big help

[@frigginresulrum]

10:16 This is driving me absolutely bananas. I can't get the wire to stick on there for my life.

[@AMMMMP]

Excellent work! Consider a solder sucker tool!

[@johneygd]

You can alqays 3D print a transparrant battery cover for it if you want.

[@ScottFix]

Love this video. I am currently trying to fix a heavily corroded GBA and I was just about to give up on it but after watching this I am going to check for broken traces and see if I can fix it with jumper wires. 🤞

[@djmips]

Really nice repair.

[@terrancetruth]

Hey, I emailed you about the NES30 Pro controller repair on the triggers. Are you still doing those?

[@37654]

Yo this is amazing, you need more subs dude

[@ravenrue]

100% on Frogo customs.

[@cristobalrivas3399]

where i can buy those buttons contacts replace?

[@rooroomiri]

Great work!

[@unosturgis]

Damn, you have surgical precision with that soldering iron! Are you looking at it through the zoomed video feed or using a magnifying glass?

[@sojannedos]

Amazing!

[@Keillan5480]

You may have mentioned this, but where did the headphone jack/port replacement come from? Mine pretty corroded and I’m having trouble finding a replacement

[@johnson1963]

I am from Taiwan I want to ask where can I buy the button Is there a URL? Thanks

[@tmskatap]

i have a rare gameboy light that is corroded, cant really figure out why the screen isnt turning on, even tho i can hear the game playing and see the red light. u want to try and fix it? ill send it to u

[@cemeteryhill]

Awesome video as always! Question. Do you do paid repairs? I ask because I dug out some of my old consoles & have been bringing them back to life. Have a slim PS2 running Component & looks really good IMO. Also a fat PS2 in the middle of a deep clean & possibly a new laser that will also use Component cables. My issue is with my Gamecube which is a 101 model which needs a mod to run Component/HDMI I believe. I can solder a bit but the Mod looks like it's pretty fine work so beyond my skills. Is this Mod something you can do/ would be interested in? Or perhaps point me in the direction of some decent resources?(currently using Ebay & Amazon for parts) Currently have a SNES, Genesis 3 & PS1 after the Fat PS2 is done. Got the PS2 Slim & Gamecube working with just cleaning & new wires, even got a Brooks adapter to use my DS4 on the PS2 was pretty proud. lol Thanks for your time.

[@chrismifsud7154]

Wow! I am not that good at soldering (My proudest moment was replacing a CRT flyback and recapping a Game Gear enough to function) but wow that is a terrible job whoever tried to fix it did.

[@HighIQuit]

he basically made an gameboy.... frome E wast.

[@daniel070487]

dude never heard of a fiberglass pen. the whole removing the parts was so unnecessary and time wasting
