The screen issue is definitely delamination. It's either air or moisture between the plates that you're moving around when you press on it. I worked at a vinyl sign shop as a kid and we had to squeegee air bubbles out from under the vinyl all the time after applying it; the behaviour of the bubbles looked very similar. The best reason I can think that it appears as dark dots is because LCDs are sensitive to pressure (as well as electricity) and those bubbles are pressing against the liquid crystal, causing it to bend the light in those spots.

If you're using this with an Everdrive then it will tank the battery, the screen on it's own isn't too bad.

Your videos are very inspiring and interesting. You are 100% the reason I have started seriously trying to fix my electronics and I'm seriously loving it.

I love your channel man! It always feels so comfortable to watch your videos and I'm always excited for another upload!

Great one buddy! As usual perfect to watch, keep it on! 🙌

I love these videos! Repairing old electronics is just so cool to me, keep it up!

Looks good, i did an ips-screen, case (Clear Extreme Green colored), bigger battery swap (800Mah) for my gba-sp -100 series. The new screem is sooo much better, i cant believe the difference, Story time: I found my old copy of pokemon Emerald wich i had lost for around 10 years. I was excited to start playing it again, but soon noticed that the internal battery of the cartridge was dead, i ordered a new one and then i started seeing videos of these crazy gba mods. I was amazed on the quality of the screens and wanted one for my self, i know in a few years time i propably wont be playing the games again for a while, but the sheer amount of nostalgia i got from trying to research on what i would need to build my ultimate Gba-SP took the best of me and I did it. I ordered every part, waited patiently and then one day my orders started coming in. I put everything together and BAM! i had it, now i have been playing Emerald for a while on and off because of my work schedule, brings back such good memories, especially now that it's christmas time (i got the console and game as a christmas gift), I remember playing next to the christmas tree and can vividly remember the lights and the smell of the spruce. Ahh good times.

At 4:44 there is an easter egg on the gameboy where the texet says "his name is LINUSTT", pretty cool hidden, well not really but cool non the less! Nice video by the way, very epic indeed.

I think the contrast wheel is the coolest part of all retro consoles tbh. Idk why, I just love it.

I wish you made longer videos! I love your voice, and I can fall asleep to your vids. Just love the content anyways. Keep it up!

wow what quality repairs ! even better than the original device ! frankly, you're the maestro of gaming devices repairs !

This really warms my heart to see. :)

One thing I've found works really well on stickers and adhesive residue is electrical contact cleaner. The one I use is "QD Contact Cleaner". It's safe on plastic and metal, and there's no oil to wash off after.

Awesome, looks great!

Yay you uploaded I feel so happy when ever you do! Who else does?

FINALLY YOU ARE BACK

I read MattKC on my phone notifs. Stopped everything I was doing, and tapped on it

Hey Matt, Love the video. Any chance you'll do come game cartridge repair videos in the future? Cheers Mate.

Matt, you should pick up some "Goo Gone". (Just the "Original" stuff, don't need any of the variations.) It's a citrus (yeah as in fruit) and petroleum based adhesive remover. It doesn't work for everything, but can do wonders for some of the likes of the gunk you spent cleaning off of the screen & lens with this project. (You of course have to clean *that* off too, but that is much easier.)

So I binge all of your electronics Videos.

Wonderful job!

Always a pleasure.

"I remember now! My foe is LINUSTT" As an avid fan of both you and LTT I like the reference

0:50 I've seen A LOT of dead pixels on a single screen. They were each next to each other.

yo JCS is the best true crime channel, their Patreon had some excellent stuff too. it's a shame KZread screwed them over so bad, hope they can figure something out and keep creating content because no other channel compares. like bedtime stories for horror stuff, they are next level.

Great job on this repair!

It good to see you doing hardware mods and fixing broken things

The new LCD is simply perfect! wish I haven't sold my GB Pocket.

An easier way to remove the clear plastic piece in front of the screen is to heat it up with a hairdryer or hot air soldering gun to melt the glue another way that doesn't need heat is to twist the shell (but not too hard or it could break).

oh, so im not the only one binging JCS videos lately? cool. lol

PLEASE do part 3 for the chargeable battery!!!

Thankfully my Game Boy Pocket screen is in great shape. It does have a factory defect where there is some “ghost lines” as I call them in certain scenes, basically there is faint vertical lines that line up with breaks in the pixel art like at the ends of a text box or something similar. They go from top to bottom of the screen, but aren’t very noticeable. I’ve read that most Game Boy Pocket screens are effected by this and a replacement screen Paul likely have the same issue. I also read that the problem happens even when the screens were brand new.

I'd be really curious to see what one of those black and white gameboys would look like with an OLED in it. I'd bet it would be super crisp and clean, and the blacks would be really cool as well.

Like how binging JCS has become popular now, they are so fascinating.

Could we all please take a moment to appreciate the intro gag? I fuckin' *love* it and noone's sayin' *anything* about it in the comments

Always a treat to see that red dot, cheers 👍

Peefect timing! My pocket arrived yesterday, bought online! Works great, but of course, new screen, new shell, probably HDMI out,….

FINALLY PART 2

One thing I discovered is acetone does wonders removing glue residue. Just have to be careful because it eats more than just glue residue. I mean, it's nearly immediate. I did the same thing as you, using isopropyl alcohol, but there's just no comparison.

Acetone will melt the plastics. It *MAY* be okay to use on the inside of the case if you are very careful, but it will certainly ruin the lens.

If you got this Gameboy from someone in Brisbane, I swear this is my childhood GB Pocket. I would love it back

7:27 - Play the "Take it off, slowly" music Techmoan uses every time he peels off plastic covers from other electronics!

Gameboy Pocket HD!

Great Matt! The result is astonishing!! :O

7:22 the best peeling ever

The fuckin Chad Warden reference got me. Liked and subbed.

The way the fix works, my guess is this is related to magnetism and the cover is just gathering dust at the spot where it's concentrated. Damage, usage and time would be explained by this. So it's just very tightly wrapped garbage. A hard scrub takes it away.

This brings back memories of me as a kid desperately trying to get some light sprinkled on the screen of my original Game Boy while playing in dimly lit rooms. There were times where I really was wondering why the FUCK the damn thing didn't have some kind of lamp on it that would shine light on the screen, completely forgetting how quickly the incandescent bulbs of the time used up even C-batteries and thus would probably cut the already not so great battery life in half. Now that I know a bunch about electronics and especially the huge difference in efficiency between incandescent bulbs and LEDs I do of course understand very well why such lamps wouldn't have made sense back then.

@Demache92

Probably by the time the Pocket came around, it probably would have been viable to put green LED's to frontlight the screen, similar to cell phones of the late 90s since green LEDs were reasonably inexpensive even back then. But I'm sure it still would drive up cost and significantly reduce battery life of the AAA's and look like crap, which I'm sure is why they decided against it.

Funny enough, I have a GB pocket with a broken screen. Where did you get your Gameboy pocket screen? P.s. I love your videos, you inspired me to do what you are doing!
