Gorfcadet 13 Member · Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Anyone recommend a good modder service to get my spare Gameboy recapped and LCD modded? It needs to be recapped because I can see waves in the lcd rolling up the screen and sometimes it won't power up on the first try. Since I need it shopped anyway I thought it would be nice to get my spare backlight modded too. So anyone have any recommendations and ideas on prices I can expect? Thanks in advance everybody.

Gorfcadet 13 Member · Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I meant I have a second Gameboy and that one has a dark area that rolls up the screen. I had heard that was caused by a capacitor that was going bad. Since I have two original Gameboys, I was thinking about having one backlight modded.
