Shoutout to everyone fixing up vintage gaming consoles
I've been messing with old Game Boys as a side project for fun. It's cool to see how many guides and parts are online now compared to a few years back. My latest fix was a busted screen on a Color model, and the forum advice saved me from ordering the wrong ribbon cable. Getting it to power on again felt amazing, and I'm hooked on saving more of these little guys. This whole DIY wave really helps keep classics from ending up in the trash.

Getting it to power on again is the best, like when I brought a dead Genesis back to life.

Bringing a dead Genesis back to life, richard_mason? It's just a console, not heart surgery.

Nice save on the Color screen (those ribbon cables are a real trap). A cheap multimeter is a lifesaver for tracking down power issues before you order parts.
