I'm not really up on GG stuff, but from what I remember reading... You can upgrade to a newer LCD screen that not only looks better, but IIRC uses less power thus extending battery life. As for the sound, IIRC, the GGs had a huge problem with the capacitors. I think that's what the audio issue is. People recap the entire GG to fix the problem.
If I'm off base, I'm sure some one will correct me.
If I'm on base, I think there's a guy on this forum that offers to recap GGs, and I believe it's the same person that will also upgrade the screen for you. Or maybe it's two different people. Definitely seen those services in the BST section though.

Yeah, there are capacitor issues with the screen and sound on GGs. Replacing them should take care of the issues.

I'm not too experienced with stuff like this - but I got to thinking I have a black GG that's been sitting around for awhile that works alright but is pretty scratched. I might just swap out the guts into the blue shell or something one of these days.

You might look for videos showing how to use plastic polish to make things better as well.
