Because of your videos I pulled my childhood GBA out to see what state it was in. It's dirty, missing a battery cover, and I think the button membrane for the D-Pad is broken... But I've seen so many videos from you I feel fairly confident repairing those things. Maybe I'll even try installing an IPS screen. I'm excited to get it working really nicely again!

Hey Elliot, you can just carefully remove the polarizing film from the surface of the LCD. It's UV damage of the adhesive, so you can buy adhesive backed polarizing film, and do what you do for a backlight pocket mod, but instead of remove the film from the back, you're removing the film from the front. Super easy, I'd actually like to see a video where you fix that screen and place it back in the gold pocket light. Great video!

Funny thing about the Gameboy Color, I knew I was getting one for my birthday when it released. But at the time I was convinced that because it's a color screen that it would also be backlit lol. So when I turned it on for my birthday, younger me was like "What the heck? I've been scammed!" Then I proceeded to plug in one of my gameboy accessory lights and still enjoyed the heck out of it :)

Would like to take this moment to say .... Elliot you are a fantastic charming young man that makes videos about retro gaming very intresting and does not come across big headed like some do on here and always stays level headed witch is nice to see . I think you deserve a lot subscribers and a lot respect for keepings things real and staying yourself . I truely beleive the time you met mr beast you were the bigger star in that video as you showed him much more respect than he did you and kind off pissed me off to see that he kind off thought he was the better person in that room but he was far wrong ... The videos you do a good that you dont cut to much out even if you are looking for tools while still recording that gives it a real feeling of true life in action .. Anyway elliot keep up the amazing work and i think if people are not subscribed now do so and lets elevate elliot way past mr beasts subscribers because he truely deserves ... Thanks for your videos and help and may future be what you want and desire ... Randy o rossiter

Love these videos as always, Elliot. Don't worry about silly comments like "you're greedy" that's just ridiculous, collecting has always been an acceptable hobby. Question! Why not repair the actual screen polarizer instead of just swapping out the screen? I know it's an annoying process but I don't think it's a video you've done before, it could be fun for us viewers.
