So any anti cabin fever projects?

While I wait for the backlight kit to arrive, thought I would see if I could do something about the missing lines on my childhood Gameboy.

Couldn't find my triwing screwdriver, so I took a triwing bit from a security set and ground it down.

Here's the before.

And here's the after.

Repair involves removing the foam off the ribbon cable and then rubbing a hot soldering iron back and forth across the cable until the lines come back on. It's hard to believe this repair works, but it does.

Screws will be replaced with Phillips m2 if I ever get around to it.
I, of course, found another triwing I forgot I had in my phone opening tools an hour later. Oh well.

Not sure how we ever played these damn things. I've been holding it under an LED work lamp. Warioland, which I've never played before, is pretty damn fun. Can't wait for that backlight kit to arrive.

:cheers:

Mike A:
Seems like a lot of work.

Wait for it......

Have you considered a Pi?

All kidding aside, nice work on the hardware and software mods and fixes.

pbj:
Yes, I have. Nobody can design a menu for it that doesn't suck and nobody can solve the power down problem. I have several Pis laying around and I only use one of them.

:dunno

Somehow I knew that you forgot to add the "/s" to this post. :)

That's one of the three running jokes, along with "Will it play Gauntlet Legends 100%?" and "Will it play Castlevania III Japan without audio issues?"
