Gold, Black, Gray, Blue. You do the ohmage math I haven't got time atm.
Of course since I suck at this it's probably the other way around which makes for 680 ohms with ±5% tolerance?
(I came back, I have some time now.)
It should be 68.
First digit: Blue = 6
Second digit: Gray = 8
Multiple by: Black = 1
Tolerance: Gold = 5%

Why not just replace the entire board? Soldering a new LCD on there would be a nightmare.

Re: Non-Nintendo Replacement shell? (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
No one sells them anymore. I contacted a lot of the distributors with no luck. Things like this sometimes resurface when people go through their warehouses, but don't hold your breath.
There's apparently 7 different colors too, according to the box. I have a red one like this too but the printing is white.

What colour is the inside of the housing? Could easily just be a paint/dye job.
Edit: Just noticed there's no embossed information like on normal DMGs... It's a mystery!
They're newly molded and printed. They were made by a company in China for a while.

it looks like a greyboy that was painted light pink.
2 big giveaways are the Nintendo Gameboy text not being visible, and also the classic purple/pink greyboy A + B buttons.although, who knows, it could actually be legit
It's both - legitimate and painted. Some MGBs, and GBAs were painted too. It was likely never printed with the text.

Whoa, I've never seen some of those. Apeshit could you post some pics of your rare DMG's? Wasn't it you that obtained the "professionally modified" DMG that hooked up to a monitor?
I forgot about that one. Yeah, but it didn't hook up into a monitor natively. I just showed it off as an example of clean wiring.

EDIT: Someone found a picture of all of the Gameboy original versions and got this image:
If this image is correct then the pink Gameboy is real and probably pretty rare.
There's a few missing. I have one with korean text on it, and I also have one of the ones used in commercials with the huge "gameboy" print on it, though that's not really a limited edition one. There's a few more as well, like the planet hollywood one.
One of those wario DMGs sold on eBay a while ago. Didn't sell for much, I guess because they're just painted. That's why I didn't bid on it.

It's a rotary tool. A wire brush should do the job pretty well.

If you have a moderately decent iron capable of heating the pads, just remove the battery contacts, soak them in vinegar, then resolder them.

Re: Dmg screen issue (9 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
Try testing it outside of the case. It sounds more like when you add pressure you're temporarily shorting out a broken connection. The ribbon cable may have been ripped in the film removal process.

Every time you insert the plug, you apply a small bit of pressure to the pins on the back, and they might bend and short in the long term. This is not an immediate problem, but worth keeping in mind.
Do you have any advice for fix this? i think this is a trouble but i can't fixed it.
Epoxy or a glue would secure it for a while. This is why I linked to the panel mount jack, it's the best bet for something like this.

Re: Backlights (22 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Like I said, it's just a fraction of a mm, so I'm maybe just nitpicking. With that said, it's only a matter of making two small cuts to have it sit properly.
But no, they're certainly not the same thickness. They're about .6mm difference in size. It doesn't sound like much, but it is very significant when dealing with these tolerances.
