So first off with this project I wanted to recase my old gameboy pocket. When I originally got it used long ago (during Gameboy Advance SP's heyday actually ) the screen protector broke off, so I reatached it with plastic cement but I smudged it and ruined the protector. So this mod is to fix that and make it a more desireable color.

Starting off with a plain black Gameboy pocket, not the ruined screen protector

New case bought off amazon, big thanks to @davedarko for pointing out that these kits exist. It was about 10 bucks USD and its pretty good they even replicated the sticker that goes on the back lol

Bottom side of PCB, pic taken while still in case, note the screen flex PCB cable at the top. My Gameboy happens to be the 1997 PCB revision not sure what makes this one different than the others though. Something else that is surprising to me is the flux all over the PCB, Nintendo are notorious for being about high quality when it comes to manufacturing and what manufactures to use. Flux all over the PCB like that is unheard of and unacceptable in the present day PCB assembly business.

Boom all done in the new case! It came out really well, the case fit perfectly and went together with ease.

Thats a wrap or all she wrote as they say with this mode. Case is installed all done, next for this Gameboy will be a back lit screen mode and bivert mod. Still deciding on where to buy the parts for those mods so open for suggestions. Stay tuned for more gameboy mods/hacks/restoration shenanigans!
