But do they only have three functioning lines of pixels each and no working audio output, and are they sticky?

Got a DMG at Goodwill a few weeks back that was super sticky. Opened it up and it looked like someone spilled cola on it and it got all inside. Put the shell in the dishwasher and cleaned the crap out of the PCBs with rubbing alcohol and it turned right on when I was done. Green PIL for $2? Yes please!

Ooh, I'd never thought to stick one in the dishwasher before. I gotta try that.
Is there anything I should keep in mind so as to now screw something up somehow, or is it pretty straightforward/foolproof?

Well, just take all the electronics out. Actually, I strip them all the way to the plastic (cartridge plate and battery contacts included). And I usually pull them out before the drying cycle. Heard that a dishwasher can melt the plastic so I just air dry them to prevent that from happening.

from what i hear, it's really straightforward. just put the shell on the top rack of the dishwasher to prevent warping.

My first dmg mods
The second one kinda failed,but a nice test model.
First experience with water transfers but made 'em too thick and waited too long before coating it.
