alive and kicking

Post by ***pandinus*** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 4:48 am

Hi Folks,

I ordered a bunch of dead Gameboys and now they are alive and kicking, bad condition, but still working :shock: Only one original DMG is really gone and one GBP with a broken display. Furthermore I ordered two Pi0, only one reached me, the other one vanished. Now I understand, where the bunch of ebay-Pi0, are coming from. :evil:

So be aware if you ordered your Pi0 from "Pi-Hut", because the one I ordered from "Pimoroni" reached me yet.

Oh yeah, what should I do now, with those bunch of working Gameboys ?
on stock:

4 working DMG in bad condition
1 dead DMG
1 working GBC in bad condition
1 dead GBP
1 Pi0
4 Adafruit 1000 chargers
4 Teensy
2 BW 3,5" screens
2 adafruit mono amplifier
2 lipo-batteries
solder material
cables in different colours, switches, resistors etc.
another Pi0
Hot glue gun
T-wing screwdriver
NES-controllers
found another DMG01 housing for 10€ -> bought.

I might be interested in buying a gameboy. Mind posting a picture, and the price?

There's quite a demand for refurbished GameBoys. You could bleach the case, clean/replace the battery contacts, add a backlight and bivert chip, replace the screen protector, and resell them. Or keep them :)

I have a few GameBoys in various states of repair. Sometimes it's possible to make one working GameBoy from a couple of faulty ones. Don't get rid of the remaining parts.
