Game Boy Original Console: Prestige Edition

The original Game Boy, the revolutionary hand-held 8-bit console released April 21, 1989, sold over 118 million consoles worldwide.

Hand-restored to it's original condition, with a new shell, buttons, screen, boxed making the perfect gift for a die-hard gamer.

We take an original Game Boy and start by taking it apart fully. We clean the PCB, replace any broken or worn components such as the Link connection, volume and power switches, and do a full hardware test to confirm good working order is restored.

Next, we replace the old, used and worn shell with a brand new one, along with the rubber contacts and buttons to restore that brand new button press feel.

Next the big upgrades. We change the LCD screen for a new IPS backlit screen with brightness control and by clicking in the brightness wheel you can change from greyscale to color palettes, giving your Game Boy DMG games some color!

An upgrade to the audio amplifier to a powerful class D amp as well as installing a new 1W speaker to give the audio a 400% volume boost!

No more AA batteries, all Prestige consoles now come with a CleanJuice XL USB-C battery pack. The console is powered by a 11.1W lipo battery and charged using any USB-C cable.

Finally, we replace the plastic screen protector with a modern tougher glass screen protector so your old new console stays newer for longer.

The finishing touch is a boxed and sealed product perfect as a gift for any retro gamer... or maybe even treat yourself?
