i recently bought a original gameboy (dmg-01) and the screen was missing lines vertically, i knew how to fix it so i opened the gb up and undid the screen but in doing so the entire screen turned black bar a few horizontal lines on the bottom,
i dont know what has happened to it. does anyone have any ideas, i know i may not be able to remedy it without replacing the lcd but i would like to know what i did wrong,
Repair Question Fixing missing horizontal lines on Gameboy Pockey I just bought a second hand Gameboy Pocket. It's is in unbelievable good condition, but the screen has an horizontal missing line. Feb 14, 2014 J-Rock shows you step by step how to give your old Nintendo Gameboy with 'Dead-lines' a new lease on life. Not the first tutorial I've uploaded, but it was my first video to shoot.
my guess is that i somehow twisted a ribbon cable too much, i have tried reattaching cables but it doesnt work.
(yes i have tried adjusting the contrast, the only thing that is affected is the white part at the bottom of the screen.)
