one time when i was 7 my bro was playing super mario land on my game boy and he died so many times and got really mad at it, so he smashed the thing with a hammer.

Probably knocked the ribbon cable out.

The DMG that NeX did to me dropped once and now the backlight is working but I cant see anything on the screen !

i dropped one of my extreme green ones once (my chikoritaboy). there's a hardly noticeable chip in the corner now. oh well. >:

otherwise nothing too major. i tend to keep them fairly low to the floor most of the time, so if they fall, it's not a big drop.

mmmm kinky

i used my gameboy to spank my ex and accidentally let go. it fell lightly on to my bed and i picked it up so i could continue.

one time i dropped a dmg into a piss filled toilet. I grabbed it fast enough to keep the cart dry, but ironically it had a whole drilled in the bottom for a mod I never finished. Piss water got all up inside of it..after a few days it worked again, just has a lot of dead pixels. I think i can even fix that with the blow dryer technique,

Well, I haven't really damaged any of my Gameboys, but I once dropped my GameGear 6 feet. The thing wouldn't turn on afterwards, so I opened it up and noticed that a coil from the power board was knocked clean off. I completely re-wound the coil so I could get enough wire to solder back in. I'm glad I got it working... It's hard to find a GameGear in good shape for a good price around here. (I bought mine from a ValueVillage for $8 a few years ago and found one at a retro game shop for $20 in the worst shape imaginable and a few of the same quality at a lower price at a flea market.)

Oh, and like... 10 years ago, one of my friends dropped his DMG on a playground and the sound was lost completely. (Probably just a knocked out cap though.)

haha i was waiting for someone to say this

ONE TIME I PROGRAMMED A SONG ON LSDJ

WITH THE BIGGEST DROP EVER

a.k.a the single most apt description of the chip community from 2010 onwards

oh no i love my dmg waaay too much to smash it, i keep it in a foam padded box always, and that box is padded with shock-resistant gelatine, because this thing is retro and i poured several hundred dollars into it for mods (with my parent's permission, of course)

although i trash my gb color because it's not prosounded

narwhalz of sound

I have been thinking about doing the same, but I dont know. I would probably feel a bit bad, even if most of the parts were useless. You could always use it for something.

I sometimes throw one of my game boys in the air at the end of my shows, and a couple of times I have missed catching it on the way down. But both game boy and nuby has survived every time.
