I Upgraded a Game Boy Color with an IPS Screen (Unbelievable Difference)

I took a worn-out Game Boy Color and completely transformed it with a modern IPS screen upgrade and full restoration. The original screen was dim, hard to see, and showed its age — but with a new IPS display, the difference is night and day. In this build, I walk through: • Full teardown and inspection • Cleaning and restoration of the main board • Installing a modern IPS display • Shell swap and button upgrade • Testing and final results This is a perfect example of how retro hardware can be brought back to life while still preserving the original experience. Whether you're into retro gaming, console modding, or restoration work, this is one you don’t want to miss. 🔧 Tools Used in This Build PROXXON Inc.
