Today we’re taking a look at a boxed red Nintendo Game Boy Pocket that apparently has absolutely no signs of life…
No power.
No LED.
Nothing.
But with old handhelds like this, sometimes the issue is simple…
…and other times you open them up and discover complete chaos inside.
In this video we tear down, inspect and attempt to revive this classic Nintendo handheld to see whether it can be brought back from the dead.

The Game Boy Pocket released back in 1996 as Nintendo’s slimmer redesign of the original Game Boy, and nearly 30 years later these handhelds are becoming harder to find in good condition — especially coloured variants like this one.
Hopefully this one can be saved.
