  • My cousin gave me her old broken Game Boy to see if I could repair it. These consoles are so important to video game history and are becoming more valuable and rare so I really wanted to try fix it and even make it look better than the day it was born.
    I show you everything I did but if you follow this, please read and follow all safety warning. At the very least, I hope you find this entertaining. I’m honored you stopped by my channel to see what I’m working on.
    I’ve got more fun projects and Game Boy Advance programming so I hope to hang out with you again soon!
    There was no sponsor or promotion in this video. It was just me but do check out Hand Held Legend if you are interesting in this screen kit or other similar kits.

    Thank you! :)

    The clarity of that screen is excellent. Nice job. Living in the uk, playing a gameboy satisfactorily was a rarity due to no sun.

    Before I start this comment...I MEAN NO HATE I LOVE 3D Sage!!
    Anyway at the beginning of the restoration, the ribbon cable had already been bent...if I’m not mistaken that means the Gameboy has been opened before this. I don’t know if it was 3D Sage or somebody else.

    • @3DSage
      @3DSage  3 года назад +1

      Very observant! It's because I always get several takes. Sometimes over 10 times but always at least 2 take so this take was one of the later takes after I reattached the cable.
