copper20 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I have a few jobs that need to be fixed... Game Boy Original - Ghost lines on screen, likely needs new caps. Game Boy Color - Speaker needs to be replaced. Also would like a front lit screen and a new battery cover (Clear Purple). Game Boy Advance Original - Would like a backlit screen on it - very hard to see. Game Boy Advance SP AGS 101 - The volume slider seems to be very staticy and sometimes moving it even up makes the sound go out unless I move it more. Could use a new speaker, and volume slider cleaning. Update - Figured out WHY the screw wouldn't go in. That square thing wasn't in the right spot! Well that solves that mystery. Still need to see about getting the volume slider cleaned and maybe a new speaker. Edited November 2, 2016 by copper20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Probably not entirely the speaker, sounds like a dirty volume knob as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper20 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Well I found out why the screw wouldn't go in. That square thing with a hole was supposed to go where the battery cover screw screws into! Damn I'm an idiot. Either case it still needs the volume slider fixed.

icemanxp300 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I hear Swampfox does this kind of work.... lol, I couldn't help myself. Swapping a speaker on a Gameboy color is super easy, 2 wires that are soldered. The hard part is finding a speaker that is the right output and fits in the f...r. I still have a green Gameboy color that needs a speaker as I robbed the speaker out of it years ago to fix a bad speaker in a Pokémon yellow edition because I could not find a speaker small enough to fit the damn thing. As far as the sp slider goes, I just fixed one a few months back that was wacky. I reflowed the joints but what mattered more was reseating that ribbon cable.
