Keep Your Game Boy Color Working With Game Boy Replacement Parts
If you've owned a Game Boy Color, you have probably seen parts start to wear out. Replacing those parts can make the machine look better and feel much better to play. Pre-owned Game Boy parts for sale are available on eBay, and with the wide selection, chances are you can get what you need.
Things you should look for when choosing replacement parts
There are a few things that you need to consider when picking out your new Game Boy Color replacement parts. The quality of the part is important, with new parts being both the most common and most reliable option, but that isn't the only factor. If you are buying external parts, such as buttons or housing, then you also need to consider their appearance because they come in a variety of colors and patterns. You may also need to consider the number of parts that you need for the project. For example, you may have a single button that is wearing out. In that case, it can be a good idea to pick up a full set of buttons in case the others need replacing soon.
Do you need special tools to go with the parts?
Game Boys are fairly simple machines, but most people will need to pick up a new tool or two to make repairs. A set of tri-wing screws holds the housing together, and you will need a special screwdriver to remove them. You may also need to pick up other tools, such as a soldering iron, depending on the specific repair that you are making. The easiest way to make sure you have everything you need is to look for deals that combine both Nintendo Game Boy Color replacement parts and tools.
Can you combine customization and repairs?
You can take the chance to adjust your Game Boy's appearance when you are replacing external parts. That usually means swapping out components for replacements of a different color or pattern. Both buttons and the Game Boy Color housing itself come in a wide variety of colors, and those are the ones that will be the most useful to people who want to customize their machine. You can get matching sets or mix and match components in several different colors so it is worth taking the time to think about how you want your machine to look before you select your replacement parts.
