I Restored and Upgraded This $2 Junk Original Gameboy - Console Restoration & Repair

About this video

Backlight and bivert chip modifications go into an original DMG-01 Game Boy bought as junk, which the maker restores and repairs first, then the colours are inverted back to normal.

Good to know: Soldering brings burns and fumes; old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Inverting the colours twice is the twist here. The maker holds that the bivert chip gives better contrast, then reverses it back, which DMG-01 owners may want to weigh up.
