I'm not positive, but this leads me to believe Nintendo used different switches throughout the SP lifecycle where some had removable covers, and some were single piece. If it feels difficult to remove this piece, do not keep going as you may permanently damage the volume switch. In this case I'd recommend just leaving it alone and accepting the gray color!#quackfix #videogames #extremerate

Fixing a game boy advance IN THE WOODS Fantastic Quack 2022-06-21 | Every year some good friends and I visit the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) for a 7-night camping trip. This time I fixed a Game Boy.In this video I diagnose and repair a game boy advance (GBA) -- in the Wilderness! With only a screwdriver handy to open the shell, I have to get creative to make the fix with primitive tools! 0:00 - Intro0:29 - Day 1 (Diagnosis)1:28 - Day 2 (Procrastination)1:46 - Day 3 (A-button repair)3:15 - Day 4 (Audio repair)4:26 - Day 5 (Time to Play)5:10 - Day 8 (Return Journey)5:36 - Outro***************************Notes*************************** * Day 6 & 7 are omitted since nothing productive was happening relating to the game boy repair on those days.. Including them would have just been filler content which I have more than enough of already.* Soldering in the woods: I didn't show much detail on how I got the nail in the stick for the soldering iron. What I did was cut one end of a random stick flat with a knife. Then I pounded the recovered nail partially in to the flattened stick end with the back end of a hatchet, Lastly I pulled the nail out, flipped it over and pressed the blunt end into the hole in the stick I had just made. It was a little wobbly but held well enough to make the fix! Another note is that the camp fire didn't get the nail hot enough until I gave a few hard blows with the pocket bellows (3:50) to stoke the embers underneath the tip of the nail. After 4:15 (off cam) I removed the nail from the stick, burned the stick, and pounded the nail back in the hole of the tree we found it in. It's as if I was never there.*Behind the scenes: I wanted this video to be as genuine as possible, but also not be a complete failure, so there was some planning ahead of time to prevent that from happening. I disassembled the unit at home before the trip so I already knew what the problems were--I wanted to be sure there wasn't anything too terribly wrong with it that I couldn't handle out there. I figured the button would be a pretty straight forward fix, but I was far from confident that I could get the soldering to work. I even brought my own nail and a small torch as a plan B, but never had to use them since plan A of using only what was found in the environment ended up working out.
Making a Portable GameCube/Wii: G-Boy Mod Fantastic Quack 2022-05-22 | In this video I put together the renowned and coveted G-boy: a dream come true in the form of a portable Nintendo GameCube. Actually, it's a portable Wii and can play games on either platform without any fuss since we're using real/original hardware. No emulation needed! Unfortunately, the G-Boy kit is discontinued and the bitbuilt store shut down. I'm holding on hope that this (or something like it) will come back in the near future! You can still buy newer versions of the individual components required here (just not in a conveniently packaged kit): 4layertech.comThanks for watching!*Note: Speech error at 7:18 I said "capacitor" when the component is an inductor.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Affiliate Links (I get a small commission if you buy from these links, thanks for helping me out!):Storefront:‣ amazon.com/shop/fantasticquackTool List:‣ Soldering Iron: amzn.to/3IoqgyQ‣ Solder Wire: amzn.to/3ayhmT1‣ Flux Pen: amzn.to/3uE8lym‣ Solder Wick: amzn.to/3c6rTVK‣ Tweezers: amzn.to/3c4pURU‣ DS buttons: amzn.to/3yuuYX8‣ DS button pads: amzn.to/3NMKH9X‣ Batteries: amzn.to/3NMKH9X‣ Micro SD: amzn.to/3Rksd3p‣ Kapton Tape: amzn.to/3anWT3f‣ Fine Wire: amzn.to/3uACHSt‣ Dremel Tool: amzn.to/3nTj7go‣ Sanding Sponges: amzn.to/3RkRdaD‣ Screwdriver Kit: amzn.to/3OWja76‣ Dental Pick Set: amzn.to/3bVprl0▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Other Links:‣ Bitbuilt Assembly Guide: manual.bitbuilt.net/guide/g-boy-rev-3-complete-kit-assembly‣ Gman (Father of the G-Boy): youtube.com/gmanmodz#QuackFix #Gamecube #Portable

Fixing the Start & Select Button on a Game Boy Micro | teardown and how to find replacement parts Fantastic Quack 2022-02-03 | In this video I resolve a seemingly rare issue with the Game Boy Micro. I couldn’t find any other tutorials tackling this problem which is that the start and select buttons have no response on the system. I also demonstrate a complete teardown and reassembly of the handheld in detail, so there’s a little something for everyone who owns a gameboy advance micro even if your start button is working fine.The Game Boy Micro was release in 2005 after the launch of the Nintendo DS, which led to low sales and many people not even aware this handheld existed at all! In some ways, this is the best version of the GBA that Nintendo ever released. I was very happy we could bring this gaming treasure back to full functionality.Tool List (I get a small commission if you buy from these links, thanks for helping me out!):Soldering Iron: amzn.to/3IoqgyQSolder Wire: amzn.to/3ayhmT1Flux Pen: amzn.to/3uE8lymSolder Wick: amzn.to/3c6rTVKTweezers: amzn.to/3c4pURUScrewdriver Kit: amzn.to/3OWja76Dental Pick Set: amzn.to/3bVprl0#gameboy #retrorepair #videogames #fantasticquack #quackfix
Fixing 6 Junk Game Boys in 6 Minutes Fantastic Quack 2022-01-20 | In this video I repair six original Nintendo Game Boys with various issues from not powering on to vertical lines in the screen. Some of them didn't need much love to bring back to good condition whereas others took more time. I had no knowledge on whether any of these were working ahead of time, so I just worked with what I had.Tool List (I get a small commission if you buy from these links, thanks for helping me out!):Soldering Iron: amzn.to/3IoqgyQScrewdriver Kit: amzn.to/3OWja76Dental Pick Set: amzn.to/3bVprl0#gameboy #nosound #fantasticquack #quackfix #retrorepair #videogames

The method used here has been done before by many others and is also part of an ifixit guide. I do not claim this to be the best or most robust method of resolving the YLOD problem. All I can say is that it worked and the unit is still going strong almost 2 months later. The more advanced method of full BGA reball on the CPU/GPU is beyond what anyone can reasonably expect from an average person (including myself) due to the specialized equipment involved. Capacitor replacement is more reasonable, but I cannot confidently say--and frankly no one else here can--whether the cap's or the CPU/GPU (or other) was the problem causing YLOD. This is evidenced by the conflicting comments adamantly declaring what the issue was and how the repair should have been handled. I'm just a guy who wanted his PS3 to work. If you can do it better I encourage you to follow through. The PS3 is a great system where many of us draw fond memories. Let's keep alive as many as we can! Have a great day all, and thanks for watching ... even if you think my repair sucks :)
