2x Gameboy Advance eBay Easy Repair! 'Dead Board' and 'Flickering Screen'

The Retro Station 21 min Published May 2019

About this video

Two Game Boy Advance consoles bought as faulty are opened up, one with a flickering screen and one with corrosion spread across the board, which the maker says stopped it booting.

Good to know: Corrosive residue needs care, and soldering means burns and fumes. Old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Two consoles, two fault types. The maker says the corroded one gave no boot, no picture, no audio and a GBC-only start, which makes a handy symptom list to compare with your own.
