Game Boy CPU Transplant! Fixing Dead Buttons (Super Game Boy Donor)

Retro ER 19 min Published Aug 2026

About this video

After a ribbon cable was shifted with the power on, a Game Boy DMG lost its left D-pad and B button, and a CPU taken from a Super Game Boy replaces it.

Good to know: Hot air and fine-pitch soldering mean burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

The donor chip comes from a Super Game Boy cartridge, and the maker presents the work as a no-talking ASMR micro-soldering video with hot air, so there is no spoken explanation.
