Game Boy Color Speaker

Post by xAtomik »

First of all, if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry. Mods feel free to move it.

I was playing with my Game Boy Color recently and the speaker died on me. :( I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a replacement speaker or a speaker that will fit in it. The speaker its self is about 25mm in diameter.
Thanks

Well, I looked around the internet a bit. eStarland repairs Game Gear and Lynx audio problems, but not Game Boy Color. Not sure where to buy a physical speaker you could install yourself.

Honestly, I would just drop $20-$25 and buy another GBC.

Doesn't Nintendo still repair GBC's, for money of course? I think they might, although they might only go back as far as GBA.

I'm sure there has to be something similar out there that's being made or something in someone's parts pile that will work.

Do the headphones still work? It could be the jack that cuts out the speaker when you plug the ear buds in.
