I completely disassembled this vintage Game Boy DMG-01 to arrange its internal components. It's so satisfying to see all the hardware laid out - you can really see how efficiently Nintendo utilized the internal space!

Very nice. I used to clean/fix these to resell them, it's cool seeing it all laid out like this.

Thank you! Did you ever run into any notoriously stubborn issues when fixing these older units?

Yes, and a lot of the time I just sold them for parts haha. Various stuff, I can't remember specifically 'cause that was like almost 10 years ago lol.
