That feel when everything turns out perfectly. ^.^ Thanks a lot for the guide! I was able to switch out a few broken/worn out bits, and now it's working like new! Super hyped! Thank you so much!

(Also, the screws that are mentioned needing a drill are regular phillips screws and, are indeed incredibly tough to get out without a drill. Though, the ones in my Gameboy were somehow already stripped pretty badly.)

DEFINITELY do NOT need to use a drill to open a Gameboy Color!

The 6 screws to open the case ARE NOT PHILLIPS! They are Tri-Wing, a Y shaped driver, not + shaped. If you use a phillips head screwdriver, you will strip them quickly, and then you actually will have to drill them out. Use the right tool every time!

I had to open it up once because I forgot to connect the ribbon, but thanks for the guide! It was quite helpful.

Love how this model’s screen comes out relatively easy.
