The Game Boy released on April 21, 1989 in Japan, followed by North America on July 31, 1989, and lastly in Europe on September 28, 1990. It is characterized by a large grey casing and model number DMG-01.

Why is my screen not working?

So my Game boy had the problem where some of the lines in the screen wouldn’t show up, so I tried fixing it. After a while though the screen stopped turning on and I can’t find out the problem. When the switch isn’t all the way on it shows some lines lit up so I know the screen works somewhat. Also, the noise plays when I turn it on so I know that it is working. I tested the contrast wheel and it appears to be working. Please help me with my problem.

Sean 29 start off by replacing the screen to rule it out (or in) as the cause of this. Game Boy Screen Replacement

Well the thing is that I would have tried this already if I could have found a screen planel individualy without the PCB.

Yes I understand but the issue still is that this is a screen error.

@oldturkey03 I'm not sure if its the screen anymore, because I saw a capacitor that looks burnt out, so I tested it and I think it's broken.

Sean29 lets try and figure this one out. Post some good pictures of your board and also point out where you found that burned component
