If you have horizontal columns, then you have twisted the fabric of space/time so badly that it may be too late for us all.

I've tried a few and had one work but I did it with a very lucky piece of tape. If you can turn the gameboy on while it's apart and see your lines and mess with the ribbon ok the side and notice them fix try to get a piece of tape to hold them together. Maybe it'll work but dot count on it.]]>https://chipmusic.org/Vex2012-07-06T21:15:18Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/118069/#p118069<![CDATA[Re: The dreaded dead collumns!]]>I know this thread is practically dead, but what if you have horizontal dead columns?
