After buying an old school Dot Matrix Gameboy (DMG) from Ebay only to find that twelve vertical lines were blank, I sought instructions and prices on replacing the screen. In my searches I found this little blog about how to repair vertical lines on the screen. To the left you'll see my DMG with several lines missing on both the left and the right of the screen. Opposite of it is the pic after surgery. Written by Max Justicz, the site
Restore and Modify an Original DMG Gameboy is excellently written and illustrated. I want to stress the importunates of the final step in letting the solder completely cool. Rather quickly I got it down to just two stubborn lines, by being meticulous and even allowing the solder to completely cool ( turn off and fetch a snack ). M.J. also goes on to explain and illustrate the installation of a aftermarket back light. Gosh I feel so tingly. We'll keep an eye on Max Justicz future projects! -kaokensho
