I hope for the LCD being the only bad thing, I might just look for a used DMG on a second hand market or similar thing and swap the internals.

Topic: DMG dead screen. (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hello it's me again with another problem, today my DMG started to have weird distortion on screen,and the speaker sound cracked a little bit, so I took it apart and thought it was the internal pro sound mod that was touching something, so I move it around and closed the shell, this time I didn't got nothing on screen, then I took it apart again and connected the screen without the shell.
But when I move the ribbon cable a little bit i begin to have video for a little bit and then it's blank again.
I still have sound on the earphone jack, so buying a new screen should be fine or the whole thing is dead?

It was generic thinner, btw the thinner smell it's still on the shell.
I noticed that even the screw holes are damaged, not by the thinner itself, when I took it apart I saw Philips screws, it split up pretty easily but the holes are totally f*cked up so yeah the thing it's pretty much useless

I might try removing the discolored layer, I can't make it any worse.
The acetone bath looks a little too risky

This is what it looks like: http://m.imgur.com/tIgZK7a
BTW, I don't plan on buying a new shell since the internals are a little damaged, I might just buy a new Game Boy

Hi, today I bought a turquoise game boy color for next to nothing (5$ MXN) it's on terrible condition because someone in my family put the shell on thinner with the intention of cleaning it but it just take off all the color the shell had.
Does anyone have an idea of what to do for restoring the shell to the original color?
