Broken Gameboy Pocket!

Post by zzaz3 »

Like me, I'm sure many of you had a gameboy back in the day that holds many good memories of your childhood. Today I broken my gameboy that I've had since my 7th birthday. I tore the screen's wire strip while trying to install a back light.

Is there any way I could install my GBA screen into my gameboy? Or any screen for that matter
!?

You can install a replacement gameboy screen if it's got a clip that holds the ribbon cable on.

You're best off just buying a whole new one off ebay. Say, a banged up one that looks awful.

I feel your pain, buddy. I have at least 10 "broken" gameboy pockets with everything working but the screen. :cry:

And skyone is right, you are better off buying one on eBay.
