If you are talking about the DMG then yes. It is possible, but you have to be extremely delicate on heating up a portion of the ribbon cable underneath the LCD screen.

If you are talking about the DMG then you are better off completely removing the LCD and installing a Gameboy Pocket screen into it. There's a tutorial for that somewhere here.

Hi, what you decribe is the way to fix the vertical lines. That works fine. But the horizon ones are the problem.
I think its not possible. Interessting what you write about pocket screen in a dmg, must search that.

There are traces behind the LCD screen that you can heat up that can sometimes fix HORIZONTAL lines, but you have to be extremely careful. It's such a pain in the ass that installing a gameboy pocket screen would actually be easier.

Thank you
