I Paid £30 for a Faulty DMG GAME BOY | Let's Try and FIX It!

I bought this Nintendo Game Boy off of eBay for spares or repairs. The listing stated it turned on but didn't load any games.

Can I Fix it?!

Hope you enjoy!
Steve

PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

My favorite thing about this channel is that, you show how easy it is to do everything right and still have it not work.

[crosslegluke]

I like this channel more than other repair channels I've seen.

watching your stuff feels like just sitting in a room with your mate talking as you work on stuff. other channels cut out all the good stuff. lol

Missed opportunity.... "I'm blue daba dee daba da"

'That should work now' ... 'I made it worse, HOW!?' So relatable!! Glad the algorithm recommended you to me. Loving your content!!

[chrisfallon]

The YouTube algorithm recommended you to me and I've been loving watching your vids. You have such a great personality for this, and I never thought I would enjoy watching someone repair electronics, but yet, I'm on the edge of my seat with you! Thanks for brightening my day!

[RyderWestwood]

These fixes are so satisfying! Thanks for bringing life back to these devices.

I hated electronics back in college, but you made me wanna go back and study it all over again, salute!

[PotatoEevee]

Your videos are really well made, its not about having a totally fleshed out lab or some fancy stuff but more about the basics. This makes the videos really enjoyable, something I can easily subscribe to.

Nice one Steve, so much blue! Lovely colour though. Also sporting a new UV light, very fancy 👍👍👍👍

Man I love the clack when the cartridge slides in and out of the cartridge slot. It's so mechanical, so visceral. So satisfying.

Nice fix btw. I'm surprised the game boy still worked even with a big hole in one of the nodes

[pedromimoso]

Nice one, Steve! You are truly developing skills in micro soldering! Amazing! And the now traditional/classic "stupid game!" at the end, with the right soudtrack song! Nice show, buddy!😁😁😁

[timehunter]

Great video, can’t beat watching old tech getting fixed! This Gameboy was the first model I ever played, So it was even better to watch!

[notshaking]

I just found your channel about three days ago, it's so relaxing to watch your videos, have an awesome day!

[oldmansbase-mint]

For some reason YouTube recommended your videos. Now I'm oddly addicted to watching them. I'm glad some body has a steady enough hand to solder like that.

[kranibal]

I cannot describe how appreciative I am for discovering your channel lately!

[arsenallife]

Crazy how I am watching someone fix stuff but still enjoying it and keep watching it.... never would of thought it

[theshield]

Youtube recommended me this video and I'm starting to feel like youtube knows me better than I know myself cause I enjoyed every minute and even gave a sub 🤣.

Wish I could get my 1080 looked at and possibly fixed by someone sent it in for RMA and they wouldn't fix it. It was still under warranty so I refused to pay for the fix. Now it just collects dust cheers going to go binge watch some more of these.

[KoSLoW]

Never seen a damaged gameboy like that ! You are not lucky with your purchases but we are lucky to have a video on it so keep buying junk consoles for our pleasure 😜😂

[DTGuitarTech]

You know, you offer a lot of humility in your videos. And you do yourself down. But what you do is incredible. Well done!!

I just recently stumbled onto this guy's channel; uh in before he blows up. That moment at 10:26 after going on that journey with *chefs kiss* so satisfying.
