"There is a dot on the screen." *entire screen is covered by a dark circle* Pretty sure that doesn't really qualify as a dot anymore, but alright.

Dirt Under Lens = There are dots on the screen

Also you should restore or refurbished Retro home consoles like N64 , NES , SNES , GENESIS etc ... That would be super cool

2:49 its a gameboy, but with a twist

I still remember buying my GB Pocket back in 1998, about four years after I had sold my original Game Boy. I was literally blown away by all the improvements Nintendo had made on the GB pocket, it was just amazing at the time.

The retro future before I watched your channel I dident even know what a gameboy was but your channel inspired me to reapir game boys I repaired 2 I am starting a collection plush I'm 9 yrs old

Nice to see a GameBoy that heroically took a bullet for someone getting some TLC.

Well done! It's always nice seeing these handhelds get new life after a refurb. The GB pocket and the GBA Micro are the only 2 I didn't own so it is always interesting to see what people liked about it.

Your refurbished GameBoy systems always look amazing! I never tire of watching them. I’m glad someone fixes these up and puts them back out there for the world to enjoy.

great video, id love to see more gameboy/nintendo referbs in future. maybe other nintendo handhelds and consoles

Intro was awesome Great refurb, still missing this one from the collection, fingers crossed I'll find one soon

Dude that green polarizer matches the housing's original Game Boy style perfectly

Now i am curious how the WarpBoy happened. Accident at an acetone factory? Gameboy slipped into an oven? Tried to power-cure epoxy and failed?

Left in s HOT CAR? No no no no. ABS plastic that the GameBoy is made of doesn't start to become pliable under 90°C, and you can't possibly tell me that it got THAT hot. Some parts of the dashboard would melt too, because they're made from the same, or materials with very similar melting behaviour such as ASA. Voldermore? Never heard of... it? her? him?

I'd love to see you playing weird Gameboy games. I really enjoyed watching that part.

So all you had to do was remove the cover of the screen...good to know! I thought no matter what the whole screen would need to be replaced. Nice camera work on the video, been watching for a while and you are doing good.

I have done a video on retrobrighting GBC's. It doesnt work very well to be honest. Makes the colour fade.

These videos are so satisfying and well made 👌

Great restoration and yes i know there were 2 models of the gameboypocket ,1 with and 1 without led indicator,but i nener saw a gameboypocket with a GREEN lcd screen,i only saw those ones with a GRAY screen,but i guess those japanese versions contain a green screen unlike the western versions, i don’t for sure but am curious about it.

This vid was pretty slick, love it. When you take off the screen, you're just replacing the polarizer?

This channel has an unbelievably satisfying aesthetic! Now I desperately want a gameboy pocket!

I love your videos. Could you please do a video where you replace transistors in a Game Gear? They're known for losing sound and other functions over time. Thanks again for a great channel

Great intro!

7:37 mr sheen looks an awful lot like sheen from jimmy neutron

Good job, that was satisfying to watch. Have some good memories from my childhood of this.

Ah, the GameBoy Pocket. I have not owned this one, but I have played a friend's GBP. At the time I was impressed with the crisp screen without the green, and in general how they got it so small as compared to the old Classic. Today, unless I find one cheap at a garage sale, I will just stick with black and white mode on the GameBoy Color or Advance.

I had 4 of these for the same price from japan a year ago. Managed to refurb 3 out 4, sold them for 20$ each.

Please do more gameboy mod videos. Preferably gameboy pocket dmg and gba if possible. This is why I sarted watching your channel and although the walkmans seem interesting its the gameboy nostalgia that keeps me coming back. Mix it up if you may but please keep bringing more gameboy videos. If refurbs are getting boring try some gameboy mods to the Gameboy pocket like backligt and bivert video because I feel like an HD version for installation needs to be made. Thanks again for all your work!

I really enjoy watching your videos. Your videos got me to want to fix Gameboys too. I now have a small collection of around 30 that I've repaired. In fixing and modding them I've run into a lot of issues. I've tried several ags 101 mods without any real success. I think good videos about mods and trouble shooting would be something I'd be interested in.

Hey! I love your videos and hearing what you have to say. After watching you refurbish these gameboy pockets I've become interested myself. I've been trying to find those screen polarizers or whatever you're replacing but I'm not finding them. If you see this could you maybe help me out? Also keep making the awesome videos! I love them all!

Maybe a let's refurb on a 3ds? Would love to know how to fix hinge shorting issues which can be a common fault.

Congrats on 400K subs. Just practicing....

nice it's funny I was watching that same gameboy on Ebay and then you got nice job keep up the good work

thething1979 Game Gears aren't cheap. Though, It is a good console.

Wish I had seen this video a few days ago. Saw a couple Gameboy Pockets at a Flea Market in Japan with that same burnt polarizing film issue. I can only assume they would've let them go for a few dollars. Oh well, I'll definitely remember that it's most likely the polarizing film, and not the entire screen that needs replaced, next time I see something like that out in the wild.

I’m planning to get the shell & a backlit screen with the green original screen to make that one

Idk why but the yellow one looks a little cool kinda like its gold

I like the intro 😃

Let’s refurb! “Entire limited edition GB gets a bath! _story time_ “

You literally turned on oddworld.. I'm playing the second one right now :-)

When he said limited edition pocket I thought he was talking about a gameboy light witch was released at the same time as the gameboy color (don't know why they couldn't just backlight a gameboy color but oh well)

Where can I pick up a clear case like that for my gb pocket? That looks really cool!

Have you found a way to return the black tint to the GBP? I bought polarizers from Deadpan Robot but they lack the black layer that makes GBPocket black instead of green.

Where do you get those storage cases for the Gameboy itself? You mentioned in your collection video that everyone's always asking and that it's just found on ebay, but I've searched for everything I can think of and can't find them.

In the US u can get those for like 15 working in decent condition

If you were to glue the screen lens now what sort of adhesive would you use? Is regular super glue a good idea?

Wait what did happen to the old gameboy

Hello, Thank you for all tour videos! I just bought a GBP with this issue for 5€. Where do you bought this polarized film? Do you have a link please?

Probably you get this question a lot. But I bought 2 game boy games that promise to be refurbish or with new battery and both of them don't work. Is there a chance that could be the game boy? One of this game is Pokemon Crystal... The other one is Zelda ages....help

great vid. I too buy used consoles at pawn shops, yard sales, ect and clean and fix them. The last console I found was 3 xbox 360's in the trash. the only thing was wrong with them was the band on the disk trays was wore out. Easy fix, i sold 2 consoles and kept 1 .

Good job showing and not telling during the repair portion.
