Customer recently decided to jump back into the good Ole days and get his Gameboy DMG and Gameboy Advance SP repaired!
Gameboy DMG would not power on and needed screen glued back on. I cleaned the corrosion off the battery terminals soaking them in white vinegar for 5 minutes. The battery terminals came out looking almost new again! Once I gave it life again, I heard crackling coming from the speaker. Cleaned the auxiliary port of corrosion, and no more crackling!
Gameboy Advance Sp would not power on, and needed a new game cartridge slot as the old one was all bent up unable to read games. I found that the console would not take a charge, even with a brand new battery. Then found a filter on the pcb that was not fully soldered on one side. Soldered it properly and restored charging. This console needed a new game cartridge slot, needed a new battery because the old one wouldn't take a charge, and would not charge with a good battery until I restored the filter connection.
Another satisfied customer! Work done better than factory!
All Fix'd and ready for nostalgic gaming again!
