Gorfcadet | 13 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.

Tanooki | 5,622 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I never really ran into a need for a recap on an original GB, but if that really is a thing, you'll want to look at console5 they're the best resource for such parts and they sell a kit cheap for the DMG here https://console5.com/store/game-boy-dmg-01-cap-kit.html Not sure what you mean about your spare backlight modded, but they do carry parts to do such tricks, or total LCD replacements, new lenses, etc. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1639-need-advice-want-to-get-my-gameboy-dmg-recapped-and-backlit/#findComment-29529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfcadet | 13 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.
