Taking apart Nintendo’s Game Boy pocket is easy, if you have the right tools.
Note the four screws on the back of the device. There are two hidden underneath the battery cover. These screws use a somewhat rare bit. Known as a “triwing” bit, it is basically halfway between a phillips and a slotted. If you do not have the correct bit, you can use a medium sized slotted, but this can damage the screws if you are not careful.
Anyway, remove them.
The back cover should come off easily now.
You can take out the metal sheet now if you need to, but there is noting behind it.
Remove the visible screws on the back now, in order to remove the PCB.
Pop the ribbon lock out of place with a flat bit, and disconnect the ribbon.
Now take off the PCB.
The removal of the buttons and power switch is simple… Remove them with your fingers, nothing is holding them in place.
Using a wedge, pop out the screen.
Done!
Good one
good job, pretty neat
i want a triwing thingy…
how about the dslite and original and psp.
I have taken apart my origonal gameboy an my game boy pocket before. but i cant seem to find why my game boy has a glich… oh yah! you dont necesarely have to use the nintendo screw driver(i used a pocket knife).

Do you no how to take apart a game boy color
is it possible to rig the gameboy to run withot the shell on it?
Is it possible to use the gameboy color without the shell?
hey where did u get this gameboy? it looks almost exactly like the one i used to have. just wondering. nice quality on all of the teardowns
hey, that was awesome showing how easy it really is, i was wondering what it would take to combine a GameBoy and a TI Calculator since i broke its screen, and the Gameboy was found in a parking lot, this is inspirational
Anyone know how to take apart a Poke’mon Crystal game? I would like to change the battery in it because it’s doesn’t keep time anymore. Nintendo said it couldn’t be done, but I would like to think otherwise. Thanks
could you find a longer ribbon cable and connect the game boy to a tv so you can play game boy on tv?
they created a gameboy to snes cartrige a few years back, im sure you could use it to help you
Nice teardown would it be possible to rig a type of cart or mod the gameboy camera to take a standard TV signal and show it on the gameboy screen, im not sure if the sound would come thru b/c the gameboy’s sound is mostly sine and square/triangle waves DPCM and noise waves the DPCM channel might work i think thats how that GBA video carts work
i like the pink gameboy
