I really enjoy the quality in this video. No unnecessary talking and to the point. Very good, thank you.

Just done this to my gameboy I was given years ago and have never been able to get it to work. Followed your steps and it powered up first time after putting it all back together! Thanks very much!

Really good video ! The music give a great atmosphere to your video :)

Thanks for the video!! Great work, and easy to follow along with. Got my Gameboy back up and running in about 15 minutes with the scrubbing.

Yup, thats all the old gameboy needed. Thanks for the tutorial!

[dareneverson]

Awesome video!! Can't wait to see more!!

I find that letting the terminals soak in some distilled white vinegar eats the corrosion right off. Even better than scrubbing with isopropyl.

This is so relaxing! Keep up the great work!

You are like my favroite person, i did the vertical lines fix but after a bit it wouldnt turn on no matter what i did, just did this, worked like a charm. thank you so much

Great video man! Pretty amazing that the difference between a functioning device and a non functioning device might just be some corroded battery terminals.

My mother dropped by yesterday, and handed me my old Gameboy😄I was sure it was gone forever, but she’d found it in an old cardboard box. It says DMG-01 on the back, so I’m pretty sure it’s the original version(?). Like the one in this video, there’s no reaction when you engage the power switch. The batteries have been sitting in it for probably 25 years, and I can see there’s corrosion in there.

I’m gonna try the tricks you did in this video, but I gotta go tool-shopping first. In stead of phillips-head screws, there are these Y-shaped ones. I’ve never come across that type before…🤔

[MrToughjiggy]

Please can you tell me where did you get your screwdriver set from?

Ended up finding a red play it loud dmg at a garage sale. It was missing the back door and screen protector. All it needed was batteries. Now it's been returned to its former glory. The best part is it was only 2 bucks.

[josephkuser]

What about a wire brush for the battery terminal corrosion?

Im about to give this a try on a rare yellow original gameboy i was able to pick up along with a new, but opened box gray gameboy. The yellow one doesn't power on which is why i got it so cheap, so ill be sure to comment and let you know how it goes!

[slinqyz]

your video was great and i was able to fix my game boy and i’m only 13!

[JamesPolles]

How does corrosion on an all metal battery terminal cause a short?
