    I got one of these off eBay for $50 Aussie. The colours were all weird so I went opened it up TRF style. The clip for the ribbon cable wouldn't click back in once I took it out. So I superglued the ribbon cable back (bad idea) I didn't put it in exactly the right place and when I adjusted it the ribbon cable broke.
    Now I have an AGS 101 with no ribbon cable and possibly superglue residue on the board, what can I do?

    I have an issue with a GameBoy SP AGS101. I bought it used and it had a broken screen. I had 2 after market screens which I tried on the AGS101 but they didn't work. First I though the screens were the problem, but I tested them in another AGS101 and they were perfect. I put some isopropyl alcohol where the ribbon cable connects and I got the screens to do something (basically show some colors where the GameBoy letters go). How can I fix this? Have you ever tackled this issue? I really enjoy your videos, but I haven't seen you do something like that.

      There’s a ton of em on AliExpress, Wish and eBay. I put a 001 NES style shell on my 101 because the shell it was in, was in horrible shape, there’s one thing though, you need to re-use the hinges of the old shell. There’s a technique to it, and I usually cut the old shell hinges open so that the hinges can easily be removed. Warning; Push them out carefully and when done, put the hinge caps of the new shell on the hinges BEFORE installing them in the new shell, also double check if they’re on te correct sides (both hinges are a diff color). And they only fit in in one way.

    You ought to paint the shell. I was given a lead about a pikachu ags 101 and when I arrived at the game store it was a fake shell and it was just too cheap feeling. So I passed on that, especially for 75 US $. I definitely agree that saving an original shell is worth it. I think it’d be really cool to see you paint this shell. Even tho it’s not a display piece 😂
