I Challenged Him to Repair, Then Build the ULTIMATE Game Boy - In this video, I challenged Richard from Video Game Restoration to repair a broken Game Boy and then turn it into the ultimate Game Boy by upgrading the screen and installing a rechargeable battery. But Richard decided to make even more modifications to build the perfect TronicsFix Game Boy for me.

Seems like a good dude. TronicsFix should donate a camera to him though, that was a tad hazy.
"Which is just an egg" -> cracked me up 👍
Alkaline (as in alkaline batteries) is another term for a base in chemistry. Acids (such as vinegar) and bases react until there is no material left to react with, Metal is inert, so if you overload it with vinegar, the reaction will eat all the alkaline away. The vinegar is also weak enough it won't corrode the metal unless you leave it in the vinegar for a really, really long time.

That makes so much sense!
Omg the Seinfeld intro for the egg joke I literally laughed out loud
He’s such an awesome guy! I come across him from tiktok and loved watching him save the consoles ❤ amazing for you to support him and show of his amazing knowledge and skills
I like this guy, is calm and relaxed, it's funny but not obsessed to do jokes all the time and also have a good taste for modding, subscribed.
That was awesome, I love how you threw in your reaction/opening! Awesome stuff.
This was awesome, I’m glad the tip about the screw threads was mentioned. I hate self-tapping screws, but metal inserts into plastic cost too much I guess.
This looks just gorgeous.. very well done!
I’ve learnt so much from you over the past couple years and I suggest your videos to everyone I know that’s is in love with tech repair like me, nice vid btw
Awesome work, Richard! 👍🏻
This is a fun video & collab. Only down side is that it looks like a low res video capture (480P?).
Great to see Steve back!!!
Steves channel and The Retro Future both were huge inspirations in getting me into repair and now I’m fixing and selling consoles as my main job
You guys sound so similar when repairing, it’s awesome
These videos are so satisfying to watch i swear!! Thanks Steve
Awesome vid. Love seeing the troubleshooting.
Content is evolving! You've made so much great content lately!
Watched this on Richards site but love that you guys teamed up. Awesome. Keep up the great work!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦😊😊. Ps love all the candy he sent you 🤣🤣🥳🥳
Great seeing you giving the opportunity to smaller creators to use your platform for good. Keep it up!
Yo, Richard is awesome. Glad to see yall team up.
The crossover we all needed!!
This was an awesome video! Thanks for sharing homeboy did such a good job I'm gonna subscribe to him right now!
Lol Richard sounds and looks like Seth Rogen without the curly hair lol great video guys
Vinegar is an acid. It breaks down metal oxide buildup pretty effectively. That is also why things like baking soda and vinegar make good cleaners. The light acidity is good for breaking down common “gunk”
Wow. Last I saw him was 6 months ago, and he was at 10k subs, building out the ultimate game gear for a subscriber.
Great looking Gameboy.
This was great and the finished product looks fantastic. It's a shame that it didn't get the text that was discussed as I was genuinely interested in seeing that. I'm also a little confused as to why you'd clean the shell after installing the screen, but regardless, it looks seriously premium.
That's a fancy ultimate dream game gear.
Awesome video! This video was fun to Watch just like the others!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this video!!!! I am such a sucker for upgrading old systems to the 21st century!!!! And the fact that you brought a fellow KZreadr in to show off their skills (and maybe get them some subs... like me ;D ) it just AWESOME!!!! That Gameboy really is 'THE Ultimate" !!!! This really was a great video!!!
Amazing project
I didn’t know Macaulay Culkin knew how to repair Game Boys?! …… In all seriousness, this was a fun collab. I don’t mind seeing more stuff like this.
awesome work. but if i had to nitpick i would argue that the original display backlighted and biverted is the ultimate display.
I liked it. I'm going to follow him I think. It was fun.

I have a white unibody Macbook still in use. Can I use the same polishing cream on the top? Really big scratches on top and I want to get rid of those.
Do you have a Game Boy Color and maybe a Samsung phone ear bud or another one with multimedia buttons? I was looking at a used GBC today and heard a clicking/popping noise every 250 to 300 ms through the headphones only. Now I'm not sure if this is expected with these types of ear buds or the headphone output was faulty.
HAHA LOVED the Seinfeld clip!
This video was recorded on the game boy.... Anyway thumbs up :)
I will say that I like how he works on things, will just need to improve the video quality and maybe a green screen/dedicated workspace. But I am sure that he knows that better than me.
"I'm not sure why vinegar has such a reaction with this battery acid" Because it's not battery acid - AA batteries use alkali chemicals, so any fluid they leak is alkaline - the opposite of acid. Acids and alkali neutralise each other - and vinegar is an acid. So when you apply vinegar to fluid leaked from an alkaline battery, it breaks it down easily. You don't really get acids in any kind of household battery. The best example of an acid based battery is probably a car battery - and if one of those was leaking, you'd want something that was strongly alkaline, such as baking soda, to clean it up.
And some baking soda/water paste can help by rubbing on the corrosion, I have used that method...
Okay, that's pretty nice.
I enjoyed that.
É muito doce junto, Meu Deus! 😂
Wow that's a nice Game boy Now after watching this I want to mod my Game boy
ohh... we were curious to see you trying Thrills and tell us what you like. Maybe in the next video if you can haha
I just want to know where Richard's Zelda and coffee shirt came from.
.was watching Modding old Clear Gameboy an makeing it All Pretty again was alota fun..Maybe make Cap Boy make more Pretty Gameboys again?? XD
Richard must be Canadian, i just flew to Dallas and shared the same pile of candy with my staff there. You forgot Kinder Eggs Richard.

vinegar is an acid .... old batteries are alkaline ..... the vinegar neutralizes the the base/alkaline corrosion :)
nice!!! This bro rules :)
I'm struggling with a DMG that is fully working except for the left audio channel. Doesn't work at the headphone jack and also doesn't work at the speaker. Whatever plays on the right channel comes over the speaker. It has the effect of cutting out half the notes in some of the songs and effects in games. The board is overall a bit scuzzy looking but I've seen worse still work...
Am I the only who thinks that the guy in the blue t-shirt kinda looks like McCauley Culkin?

bro i need your help i just bought a ps4 when i start ps4 it works but after some time its display gone i changed the paste changed the hdd reinstall the software but still there is issue can u just tell me where is issue? plz just 1 ans helps me alot
Should have adjusted the sound amp with the new speaker on, the older speaker may have had distortion due to being old limiting how loud you could adjust it
I want to see a vid of your thoughts of the candy 😊
It was all I could do to keep watching after the EGG joke.
Do a video on more laptops
I wanted him to say "I bought this broken 'refurbished' Game Boy from DK Oldies..."
I have a bunch of console, but never trying to make maintenance hope some day I will get some skill to don't break my consoles.
He didn't put the blue text on like he said he would. I wanted to see how he was going to do it.

I was wondering what happened to that too.
I swaped the shell of my gba sp and in the process i messed up the volume slider. I tried soldering a new piece for but i messed things up. 😢
Do you have a business or place where you sell your refurbished electronics? I would like to check it out for myself
too cool
This guy looks like Seth Rogan.
Shout out for Timmies!!!!
I hate mods, but this is awesome
Why is his video quality so low?
Great diagnosis and fix...gotta lose that hat ! Couldn't see what you were doing !
Sucks that his recording is so low quality :(
Kick ass game boy had a funny idea watching the video you should make one of those game boys with the brightest ultraviolet lights you can get inside and call it the game boy nobody can play Just be safe where I protection wind messing around with ultraviolet light every safety rule is written in blood
Did you forget to add back all the text and logos you removed?
