So my options are to either swap the ribbon that connects the front and the back boards. Or the whole entire front board. This cable cable can it be disconnected by hand? Either way I'm going to have to do some soldering right?  Can someone elaborate on this cable for me please? And thank you btw

Newbie here, I have a couple of junk DMG's one turns on but has a blank lcd screen. Sometimes it kinda flickers and I can  get a display for a few seconds? I'm still waiting on my tri-wing screw driver to come in so I cant quite take a clooser look and post pictures yet (sorry). But once I get it open how should I go about making this fix? Are there parts that just need to be re-grounded and cleaned? Or am I gonna have to swap out the whole front board? Im pretty new to this. Thanks to all in advance.

Ok so I was finally able to clean all of the corrosion with vinagar. After letting it dry on my fridge I finally got it to turn on. However, I have no display. I do have sound though. I've yet to take a look at the inside but do you think this is due to bad connects or some sort of corrosion I could clean? Are there any actions I can take before swaping out the front board with a working fully working front board?

EDIT:The screen does kinda flicker when switch the power

Good point, Im kinda 50/50 on it. :I lol

Im a newbie here, I'm getting a blue gameboy pocket in a few days. And I would really like to install rechargeable batteries internally along with a backlight. I've found a tutorial for a GBC here

http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to- … hargeable/

Could I mod a pocket the same way? I'd assume I'll need a different type of battery pack?

Any ideas?

And thanks in advance. You guys have been so cool here to this newbie haha

Ehhh, that's not really something I could say. There are a million things that could be wrong inside of the Game Boy that would prevent it from turning on.

That said, you want to remove as much corrosion as you practically can. Corrosion is a chemical reaction with the metal and substances in the environment. The products of the corrosion need to be removed to limit the continuation of that chemical reaction. For example, rust is a form of corrosion; to stop something from rusting, you want to remove as much of the rust as you can, and then remove the item from the rust-inducing environment.

Thanks wink

Take the terminals out and put them in a small cup of vinegar. There are spring pins on the side of the battery case that is on the inside of the Game Boy that you have to depress to slide them out. If the corrosion isn't too bad, you can just get a cotton swab soaked in vinegar and apply it to the corrosion lightly.

THANKS smile
I had tried scrubbing the unit from the outside with a toothbrush and vinagar. Got alot of it off. Theres still some there and the unit still will not power on. I havnt taken it apart yet but Im about to run to radio shack really quick and grab a triwing so I can open this thing. Do you think the lil corrosion left over is causing the problem or do I have internal issues? Ive yet to peek at the inside. But a more through clean is on the way once I grab a tri-wing.

How should I go about getting rid of battery corrosion by soaking the terminals in vinegar?
