    • Use a fingernail (or small coin) to push down on the battery door latch and remove the battery door.

    • The release latch is a plastic spring clip. If your Game Boy is getting on in years, be careful as the plastic may be brittle.

    • When you're replacing the cover, be sure to get its two plastic tabs into the slots in the bottom of the battery compartment before pushing the cover back in place.

What kind of lcd screen or where can I find one that isn't off of another dmg-01 gameboy?

Floyd Odom - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I was wondering the same. Maybe ebay or Amazon.

Joshua Graham -

What about the new display? Where to get it?

No spare part necessary should be replaced with a link where to buy a new one.

Helmut Kohli - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

You can’t buy a new replacement screen unfortunately. Not only is it very difficult to remove the screen, it’s impossible to buy a replacement. They’d be better showing us how to fix a screen. There’s plenty of videos on YT showing how to fix blank vertical line but hardly any on how to fix horizontal lines, and the ones that do don’t work very well.
