What do you think of this style of video? I was going for relaxing so I hope that comes through and you enjoyed just sitting back and relaxing for a bit.
Keep it coming, I loved! Ah, and thanks for doing this tiny piece of console the justice it deserves. When I see a injured little console I almost cry, hehe.
@@GrumpyWolfTech I'm no longer doing repairs as a service so my business is 100% online now so luckily everything is basically the same for me. I feel very lucky...there are a lot of businesses struggling right now.
Big fan of this video! Honest constructive criticism, I personally thought the music choice was a tad annoying. But I liked the video approach! EDIT: Just the first song bothered me. The second song I thought was very fitting
If they could talk and tell stories, my Original Xbox would be: -He played too much Halo and Forza, He didn't even bother removing my Clock Capacitor.... Now my disc drive ain't working si he pulled my guts out, I mean ALL of them and turned me into a PC case like how LinusTech turned one of my cousin into one
2:51 the way the ribbon cable is rolled in the hinge is brilliant. Prevents high bend and the cable breaking. I wish many laptops would have a similar reliable hinge design.
Most laptops I've dealt with were great on their screen connector. Idk what you've been dealing with but usually you don't even have to disassemble the lower part of the computer just the power button/speaker bezel and the screws and connector are right there and it pops off

You're right, "restoration" would be more appropriate had he taken _restorative_ measures (like fixing the scratches / paint) on the original shell, while it is more appropriate to say that this Gameboy was "refurbished", given its new shell and battery (which may not be unoriginal to the GBA SP in general, but is, at least, to the unique console). It's not a super big deal, in my opinion, as I feel this was completely a mistake, given how close the two words are, however it is slightly misleading. I, myself, was mislead-ed into watching the video as I thought as well he would attempt to fix the original shell (i.e., restore), however I have no qualms, as it was still a quality video
One approach would be plastic fillers but that involves repainting. You can also try a thick polish but that wont fix deep scratches. MY best result is a light sanding after a thorough cleansing, some very light filling with plastic filler and then repaint it custom. if you want to keep it original you can try to find the specific color but good luck with that.
Bought an identical GBSP days ago for like $3. Guy on flea market says his son spill some juice on it and it just wont turn on. Lucky me i opened it and use alcohol to clean the mess and now its working just fine😃
So much nostalgia damn, this was the first game console I have ever had as my birthday gift from my mom , its so expensive but my mother still manage to bought it , tks mom for making ny childhood awesome
If you ever do one again the hinges can go in easier if you rotate them out first they’ll click if you twist them then you can slide them in with the case open. Way easier than trying with the hinges in the closed positions
i enjoy your videos and this one was no different, but i'm hung up on calling this a restoration. it's less a restoration and more a remake or makeover. the old case went completely out the window, it wasn't restored. still love the video! keep it up!!
The replacement lens is the only piece I’ve found that’s halway quality. IMO there is no comparison in new hinges/shells/buttons. I’ll take a scratched up original shell and buttons any day over a repro! New hinges are sometimes a must however, in the event your originals are toast.
I love your stuff. I wanted to mention that the thin flexible cables (usually yellow in color) are NOT ribbon cables. Some call them that, but ribbon cables are the flat (sometimes gray in color) multiconductor wire sets designed to be terminated into multi-conductor connectors (insulation-displacement method). The thin flexible cables with copper laminated on the surface is called a "Flex cable".
Right, but I never liked that name either. I mean, aren't ALL cables flexible? ;) The name "flex" comes from "flex PCB" which often have cable-like connections for interfacing with other PCBs and components. It's constructed the same way as a flex PCB even if the only component attached is the LCD itself. Guess it is a flex PCB in this case, though they often have nothing attached.
hey, I noticed in this video you sounded a bit more quiet or sad then usual, It would be nice to see the enthusiasm of your other videos on it as well XD
I was going for a more calm vibe. I enjoy watching restoration videos that are more on the relaxing side...that's what I was going for but idk if that will work for my channel or not. Thanks for noticing. We'll see how many views this gets and whether my audience likes it or not.
I have a GameBoy Advance SP that my dad gave me for Christmas when I was a little kid, I need to replace the A button and thanks to your video I think I can manage to do it, great restoration!
The SP was such a bid deal when I was a kid. No more burning through piles of AA batteries, no more unlit screen! The only thing I disliked about it was the lack of a headphone jack.
Would love to see you do more restoration videos! I know there are other who do it on the internet, but bringing your knowledge and background of expertise to restorations for SNES, NES, N64, etc. would be so dope!
Spot on video. I watch your channel for information on retro gaming repairs. As a hobby I repair old electronics. This video with its slower laid back feel provided all the information I need to do a repair on a Game Boy without destroying it. The links for tools and repair parts are great. One of your tool kits is on my to buy list, so tired of digging around around looking for the right screwdriver. Please do more of this type of video. Great job, big thumbs up.
Wow you did a good job you know my cousin gave me a free gameboy advance sp pearl pink edition it just needed a new case,the ribbion cable for the screen was detached,and it needed a new battery and now it works perfectly with pokemon emerald!
I love it, because with these old devices you could do anything by yourself, cleaning, opening ect. With new devices you must send them to some experts and pay alot of money. Its like with older cars vs. newer cars!!
While i love the relaxed feel of the video, i miss your cheerful tone when doing the fixes Not saying you should abandon the relaxed tone either, just ita fun to hear you having fun repairing
I still have my old SP from my childhood that looks a lot like this one does at the beginning of the video. He's a trooper, still works to this day! I've got the original charger as well. It definitely could use some work though. Sometimes the power switch just doesn't work and I have to do it just right to make the thing come on lol
The two halves of each hinge were already misaligned with each other due to being forced out while the frame was closed. They are supposed to be inserted and removed while in the detent position where the open screen supports itself.
A tip, the hinges go in and out without forcing them, when you insert them correctly the cover opens and closes with the traditional click, I see that the moment you removed the hinges of the scratched case you used a lot of force and when reusing them in the new case You put them back and used a lot of force again, so they were badly put on you and now the console does not do the classic click to open and close the screen ...
Exactly. There is a trick to it: First, you need to open to the detent position where the screen supports itself without trying to spring open or closed. This is the only position where tabs and slots all line up between both halves of each hinge and both halves of the shell. Second, you need to release the clips on the inside before pushing the hinges out. I have a video showing how to do it with a piece from a common Bic ink pen (Bic Round Stic). Makho has a video showing how to do it with a 3D printed piece he designed. Next, keep track the left and right hinge. Don't mix them up. They need to go back in the same orientation. When reinstalling them hold the screen frame in the approximate position of the detent and wiggle it as you push the hinge in. This will get all the tabs through the slots. Forcing the hinges out in the closed position will ruin the alignment, can crack the shell, and risks stabbing yourself with the screwdriver. Don't do it!
Love the video, great job. Those kind of ribbon cables always end up being a huge pain for me in these smaller devices, I always seem to end up having issues reconnecting them.
Man watching this inspires me to learn more about this stuff. I have ADHD and always felt like I can’t memorize things sometimes I feel ignorant but I think I can do this. Hopefully.
I still have mine. Don’t know if it still works but it was the center of my childhood, so if it is broken I gotta fix it! Thankfully this video is informative enough too
There is a lot of cut content that didn't make it in the video that would be important so I wouldn't use this video as a guide. But this is still a great video
Awesome I'm just starting to watch this video, but I know the restoration will go great. You do a good job cleaning. One of the reason I stay watching u. Don't we all love clean products.
I got the same gameboy and it badly needs a screen replacement but unfortunately no one in my country is professional enough to do the repairing. Guess I'll use your video as a guide and replace the screen myself.
I have a gameboy advance sp at home too. The edition of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but you can see, that is has been used for many hours. And i do not regret it. 😁
some people like to use brand new IPS screens, brand new shells, and stuff like that, if i were to restore one of these, (which i have an AGS-101 right beside me right now) i'd use a slightly scratched shell, because completely unscratched ones look wrong in my opinion
small note! the hinges went in the wrong way. the grooves weren't aligned so the screen will stay floppy with the way you dropped em in..they shouldn't need more than light finger pressure to get in. :) hope that helps
I like the video. It's great that you are trying something new. Whether you stick with it or some elements move over into the other videos, it was great. With something this small, it was great to be right up on it the whole time and your insight was welcomed. I might try and restore my GBA consoles now.
I would love a video on "how to clean a motherboard". Like what products you're using, how to tell liquid damage from other damage, which parts to be extra careful around etc. Thank you!
Man tronic makes it look so easy. Sigh, I think I messed the ribbon cable when trying to my black sp back together. Spent like 10 mins trying to line them up and now it won't turn on. Words of wisdom, don't rush and get the right tools.
What do you think of this style of video? I was going for relaxing so I hope that comes through and you enjoyed just sitting back and relaxing for a bit.
As long as it is bringing joy to you to keep doing videos, the vibe isn't that important. Super exited or relaxed, we enjoy it the same way! =)

if these old devices could talk, i'd love to hear the stories they'd tell
If they could talk and tell stories, my Original Xbox would be:

how has this not gotten a lot of likes

You know how many shovelware I had to run because they were presents? Thank god he experienced Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure!

Elliot is proud of you I’m sure
Ha, ha...probably!
Haha sure am!
I sure am
He's here!
when he said ags i was like o elliot said that same model number
"I got some shrek 2 to play" is the best ending line ever.
Shrek 2 remains undefeated
The shrek games went hard on the game boy
Better out than in I always say.
Man, I really love your stuff. Even something that "simple" of cleaning a dirty case just makes the starting weekend even better.
Have you ever considered repairing some really old consoles like an Atari or a Master System? I guess that would be quite the challenge hence the lack of spare parts.
I have considered that and I might do that in the future.

I love how old tech are very long lasting. And easy disassembly or repair.
3:03 Love this shot of all the parts laid out together. Really makes it evident just how complex these handhelds really are. Love the vid! Hope you do more like it!
Thank you for giving the SP some love! Still my second favourite game console ever made right after the GameCube 😁
I'm pretty early to this video so I'm going to take advantage of that to tell you that I love your content. Keep at it!
I appreciate it!
When i saw restoration, i was like "dam how is he going yo fix the scratches" but then i saw all you were going to do is just change the shell
While it was interesting and good reference for my own reshell project, I can't help but feel a bit baited. lol
All? Really? You made it sound like he did nothing else.
You're right, "restoration" would be more appropriate had he taken _restorative_ measures (like fixing the scratches / paint) on the original shell, while it is more appropriate to say that this Gameboy was "refurbished", given its new shell and battery (which may not be unoriginal to the GBA SP in general, but is, at least, to the unique console).

Ur like the chrisfix of consoles. I cant stop watching ur videos ❤️😂
That's a huge compliment. Chrisfix is a legend!
Broooo I’m so glad I found another chrisfix lover! That man is incredible
Jesus, the GBA SP was so ahead of its time. Look at how small and compact that motherboard is.
Awesome restoration! Thanks for sharing this! We are a team of workers at a repair shop in Tucuman, Argentina and we love your videos!
Great job as always, earned 👍. One of my fav RUclipsrs. Maybe one day we'll cross paths, If you're ever in Tampa Bay area. 🤷♂️
Thanks! Will do!
If you ever do one again the hinges can go in easier if you rotate them out first they’ll click if you twist them then you can slide them in with the case open. Way easier than trying with the hinges in the closed positions
Im not a technician but i love to watch what this guy doing.. Watching fr. Philippines
Nice repair job,hope you do more vids like this,thanks man 👍🏻
Thank you. I plan to do a few more restorations.
much better presentation of content than in previous videos
i enjoy your videos and this one was no different, but i'm hung up on calling this a restoration. it's less a restoration and more a remake or makeover. the old case went completely out the window, it wasn't restored. still love the video! keep it up!!
*He opens the Gameboy and looks at the motherboard*
Me: Hey it looks good!
TronicsFix: We can see some liquid damage here
Me: Totally
thats me every video lol
Now this is what I call refurbished/like new. 👍
The replacement lens is the only piece I’ve found that’s halway quality. IMO there is no comparison in new hinges/shells/buttons. I’ll take a scratched up original shell and buttons any day over a repro! New hinges are sometimes a must however, in the event your originals are toast.
Ahhh the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP. A lot of fond memories with this wonderful little portable. On the go and late night plays..........good times.
I hope all is well buddy, been watching for over a year and its good to see you expand into this massive following. Much love from Texas!

What amazes me is how you know how to put it back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻if it was me I would be totally lost lol great job
Thanks for the help! Just finished refurbishing an old SP and now it's good as new. I'm sure I'll be back here when I get a new, better screen for it!

To do the hinge insert start closing the screen while applying pressure will go in perfectly
The two halves of each hinge were already misaligned with each other due to being forced out while the frame was closed. They are supposed to be inserted and removed while in the detent position where the open screen supports itself.
love this style. all parts laid out on the table was a huge plus! I love your videos, man. Keep up the great work!
Dude 600k congratulations..🎉
A tip, the hinges go in and out without forcing them, when you insert them correctly the cover opens and closes with the traditional click, I see that the moment you removed the hinges of the scratched case you used a lot of force and when reusing them in the new case You put them back and used a lot of force again, so they were badly put on you and now the console does not do the classic click to open and close the screen ...
Exactly. There is a trick to it:
First, you need to open to the detent position where the screen supports itself without trying to spring open or closed. This is the only position where tabs and slots all line up between both halves of each hinge and both halves of the shell.
Second, you need to release the clips on the inside before pushing the hinges out. I have a video showing how to do it with a piece from a common Bic ink pen (Bic Round Stic). Makho has a video showing how to do it with a 3D printed piece he designed.
Next, keep track the left and right hinge. Don't mix them up. They need to go back in the same orientation.
When reinstalling them hold the screen frame in the approximate position of the detent and wiggle it as you push the hinge in. This will get all the tabs through the slots.
Forcing the hinges out in the closed position will ruin the alignment, can crack the shell, and risks stabbing yourself with the screwdriver. Don't do it!
i got the courage to fix my kit lens, and I did it, you gave me the confidence, keep up the good work
I keep waiting for your videos steve. You're awesome!
Love the video, great job. Those kind of ribbon cables always end up being a huge pain for me in these smaller devices, I always seem to end up having issues reconnecting them.
Really feels like a video that iFixit would use as a tutorial
Man watching this inspires me to learn more about this stuff. I have ADHD and always felt like I can’t memorize things sometimes I feel ignorant but I think I can do this. Hopefully.
Very pleasing seeing this done. I’m inspired by this
I still have mine. Don’t know if it still works but it was the center of my childhood, so if it is broken I gotta fix it! Thankfully this video is informative enough too
There is a lot of cut content that didn't make it in the video that would be important so I wouldn't use this video as a guide. But this is still a great video
I had one of these back in the day and loved it to death.
Awesome I'm just starting to watch this video, but I know the restoration will go great. You do a good job cleaning. One of the reason I stay watching u. Don't we all love clean products.
It looks so great once repaired! I recall you planned to restore another one too, looking forward to that
You never realize how many screw types there are until you get into electronics repair. No longer just philips, but also tri-wing, torx, pentalobe...
I got the same gameboy and it badly needs a screen replacement but unfortunately no one in my country is professional enough to do the repairing. Guess I'll use your video as a guide and replace the screen myself.
Congrats on 600k lol
Hey thanks!
The Game Boy Advance SP was my first game system (I have the rare Pikachu one), so this was a cool video!
Cool! What a difference!
he said is super fun to replace, but for me is super fun seeing a video of a nice guy replacing it, no offense lol.
Who also loves Advance SP? :)
Me, but i haven`t ot :'(
I don't have one now, but I loved the one I had as a kid.
A backlight modded normal advance is better imo. Cheaper than a sp 101 and a better form factor.
I love your type of videos. Especialy things that you bought from some portal and repairing them. Hell a good job man.
I still have one of these and it works perfectly
I have a gameboy advance sp at home too. The edition of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but you can see, that is has been used for many hours. And i do not regret it. 😁

8:42 its always a good idea to cross tighten screws or bolts

Thank you!
Now i think i can disassemble my gba myself. Thanks for your video
It's looking neat condition now
small note! the hinges went in the wrong way. the grooves weren't aligned so the screen will stay floppy with the way you dropped em in..they shouldn't need more than light finger pressure to get in. :) hope that helps
Exactly. Also, the two halves of each hinge were misaligned with each other due to being forced out while in the wrong position.
I still have mine best gadget i ever had in my childhood playing pokemon fire red despite never owning a single play station
hello Steve, congrats for 600k!
Thank you!
Great video! Very chill and relaxing, and now I know how to replace the battery in my GB advance SP!
Sabes que ya ya estás viejo cuando aparece un video de restauración de la consola de tu infancia ..
