I Restored This $5 Ebay Junk Gameboy Advance. It Used to be Blue – Retro Console Repair

About this video

A Game Boy Advance sold as junk does not work and has turned deep yellow from its original see-through Glacier blue. Odd Tinkering sets out to restore it.

Good to know: Retrobriting uses strong hydrogen peroxide, which burns skin and eyes, and UV lamps harm eyes. Isopropyl is flammable and needs ventilation. Leaked battery residue is corrosive. Soldering burns, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

The maker admits not knowing whether the inside is wrecked or has only a small fault, which any owner of a dead, yellowed Game Boy Advance will recognise.
