Clean that off with a very fine polishing cloth, like the one you would use to polish a car. When all the glue has been removed, there will still be some residue from the isopropanol on the screen. The goal here is to remove all of it and that may take some time if you are unlucky. You may have to go through three to twenty cotton swabs depending on how much glue is left. Use plenty of Isopropanol and cotton swabs in a circular motion to loosen up the glue and then drag the bits of glue off the screen. The cleaning process can take anything from 10 minutes to an hour depending on the amount of glue left on the screen. With the polarizer layers finally off, in best case scenario there is almost no glue on the screen. Here you can see how I have slowly and carefully worked my way towards the other side of the screen. That popping sound is not something I would like to hear ever again when doing a backlight mod… Also, try not to put too push the screen too much away from the frame as this may damage the fine solder points under the screen. If it bends too much it will snap and become unusable. Try not to exert too much force on the screen so that it bends. I have found that the newer models of the DMG-01, the so-called Play it loud editions usually are the easiest ones to work with, in terms of removal time and amounts of glue that are left to be dealt with afterward. The process of removing the polarizer and reflective layer can be anything from quick and simple to very hard, depending on the stickiness of the glue. Once you can grab it, start slowly pulling away more by moving your thumb inwards and along the sides of the screen. Then use the knife, carefully pushing the material away from the screen so that it opens up a corner big enough for you to grab with your thumb and index finger. The trick not to scratch the screen is to press in the knife just a few millimeters where the layers meet the glass. You will remove both of them in one take by inserting a sharp knife like a scalpel in the top left corner. The polarizer and reflective layer are glued together. This part can be a bit tricky so if it’s your first time I recommend first try it out on the screen that is already broken beyond repair, for example, one with screen cancer. Now you are going to pull off the polarizing film and reflective layer while trying not to break the screen and the solder points underneath the screen. When you have pulled up the screen enough to see them both, carefully remove them with a pair of tweezers. There will be a little resistance because of two small adhesive pillows on the inside. Carefully lift up the screen using a screwdriver or a small spatula tool in the little notch in the top of the plastic frame. Remove the two small screws below the screen. Open up your Game Boy and remove all the screws from the two boards, then pull out the ribbon cable connecting the two halves.

Instead of going into details about the obvious mods, like replacing the screen (cover), buttons, and silicon parts, I will focus on the more technical aspects of modding. Here is a step-by-step guide for modding the classic Game Boy DMG-01. It’s an e-book that works on your mobile phone, tablet, Kindle, etc and it’s only $10.59. I hope you want to support me and check it out. It’s called Game Boy Modding and Repairs: A step-by-step guide for beginners. After a while, I had written so much and taken so many new photos that I got the idea to turn it into a book instead.
But as I kept writing it became larger and larger, because I wanted to cover all the tips and tricks that I have learned over the years.
