Can anyone fix(/upgrade) my Game Boy Color?
Hi, I'm new to Nintendo Age, so if this isn't where this goes, please direct me or move me wherever. Anyway, my old teal GBC is really quiet. You have to lean your ear up to the speaker at full volume just to hear it. But when you hear it, the sound is great (for a Game Boy Color, at least). Anyway, I have a launch model DS that was pretty messed up––broken hinge, very rough around the edges, had some problems, etc., etc. So I disassembled it and took out the speaker to insert into the GBC (as I heard you could do here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Game-Boy-Color-Upgrade-Speaker-DS/ ).
This made it look like a lot easier of a job for a beginner than it was. I'd never soldered before, and did so for my first time very (, very) poorly. Long story short (well, shorter), the DS speaker is barely soldered to the two cables, and the two cables have separated themselves from the motherboard. No good
I've taken a real liking to this Game Boy, and I would really like it if I could find a professional who could undo what I've done, and if they really know what they're doing, even finish what I started and install that better, louder, cleaner, crisper, sweet, sweet DS speaker.
Since it was my original goal, I would rather have the DS speaker (or any nicer, louder speaker) installed. But if that's a no-go, I will definitely be happy if it just works. Also, since the DS has two speakers, I'd be willing to send the other one with the Game Boy just incase the one I soldered is doneso.
Please comment or PM me with questions or pricing and maybe we can work something out!! Pics on request.
