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.

Faint "scan" lines moving across screen

I have a fully original gameboy that up to this point has operated perfectly and has never been abused. Today I noticed what looks like faint darker contrast lines moving slowly upward across the screen. Like the effect you see when shooting video of an old crt screen with a video camera (but not so extreme). Here's a link showing it. I am adjusting the contrast to show how it becomes more noticeable the darker the contrast goes.

Problem solved. It was an overhead LED light in the room I was trying to use it somehow interfering with it. I haven't seen this before under any other lights in the years I have owned. Hopefully people will see this prior to opening it up.
