Just pulled it out of an unmodded C64.

I was more concerned for your computer than mine. I'm just gonna pull the keys and put the board in the parts bin.

It can be used to check the buttons if you want to experiment with things. It also plays notes (a different one for each button) so you don't have to have access to the screen to use it.

We use it over at the game store to test old gameboys that people bring in.
It's awesome.

Is the missing key the only thing wrong with it?
Looks like you'll have to do a little cutting of the plastics for it to fit.

Checkered flag keyboard! Wait... that's a rad idea!
Post a pic, I might trade straight across for one of my working ones.
This is an OG C64, right? Not a C64-C.

I have a brown one that's missing a few keys.
If you're willing to do some key swaps, just let me know.

I think he's just condescending when someone is wrong about something and doesn't know it

Of which I have been... more often than I'd like to admit...

Denatured Alcohol.
I'm going over some schematics to see if something might be burned out or if the gameboy is just bricked.

Try cleaning the contacts on the board with a q-tip and white vinegar.
If that doesn't work, try DNA or acetone.
BUT, if I were to hazard a guess; I'd say you need to replace the silicone parts.

I'll dig out a CGB, and see if I can come up with any other possibilities.
Nitro might be more helpful than I am in this department.

Good luck.
