Fixing Someone Else's Gameboy Color Repair Attempt - Polarizing Filter, Capacitor and Trace Repair

The Retro Station 23 min Published Mar 2021

About this video

A Game Boy Color that someone else failed to repair is redone, with corrosion cleared, a capacitor and battery terminal replaced, a broken trace mended and the polarising filter swapped.

Good to know: Battery residue is corrosive. Soldering means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Found with an earlier owner's attempt still on it, so the work is partly undoing and partly repairing. Timestamps let a reader jump straight to the filter swap or the trace repair.
