Game Boy screen issues -- is it a lost cause?

[sevin0seven]

Could you stick the innards from a GBC into a GB case? That would be cool.

Shouldnt be that complicated.

Digitizer meaning the digital encoder chip leading to the screen's ribbon cable.

I'm confused by it, too. I'm pretty sure that the Gameboy's video is digital the whole way through.

But yes, I do think it is a good idea to re-seat the ribbon cable going to the screen if you haven't done it already. Also, check the cable itself for obvious cracks or continuity issues.

What about just disconnecting the screen, cleaning the contracts and putting it back?

I don't know. Sounds like work. This is an extra GB I have laying around, not one I plan on using.

Not to be an ass, but if you're not willing to try and fix it, why bother asking if it's salvageable?

because if it's worth something to SOME ONE ELSE, then I won't throw it out.

I see, gotcha. Is it just a bog standard DMG? I'll have it for price of shipping.
