20 Most Recent Nintendo Game Boy Color Console Questions & Answers

Unfortunately, on the old Gameboy Color Pokemon games, the save battery has a limited life. The only way to keep a save is to get a new, working copy of the game.

Mine didnt either... basically you select the card you want to duel with then you put it in defense mode or attack mode(heres a tip do not put zombie dragon in defence mode or as I like to call it... COME AND ATTACK ME MODE! you just go from there and when you play more you canget better cards then maybe youll be able to beat "YU-GI" oh yeah and the game is called YU-GI-OH not YU-GI-OW

I would say that the screen is causing the lines in a gameboy colour the lines are not the same like it would be in an orginal gameboy the one with the four batteries. Lines in gameboy color are the screen issues then the whole screen would have to be replaced on the GBC then.

It sound like the color or the screen parts inside of the game boy color are not working properly so it would just be easier to buy a new one vs fixing the current one. The current one could be fixed but it might not be an easy fix and the fix might be complicated then.

Well I think that the gamepack is broken. Or battery that allows you to save your game data is probally dying on you and needs to be replaced. Or you can just buy a new game then.

Some times the springs and plates in the battery compartment need cleaning. Did this to my classic Gameboy and the thing works like it's new.
Extreme cases the Gameboy Color has 2 fuses that can burn from age or voltage input is too high these are easy to replace or just patch if you have skill with a soldering iron.

May need new battery

Well yes then of course then

Well, the Gameboy color doesnt produce light. It just shows an image, you have to have a light on for you to see what is going on

You cant fix the cartrige as you will break it
overall its time to let go of the game boy color games try getting a DS its much better but back to your problem... IT IS NOT THE CARTRIGE!! your game boy will not accept the cartrige because of the mechanics in it deteriorating

The contacts are probably dirty. What you need to do is take your Game Boy Color apart and clean them. Unscrew the six tri-wing screws on the back (4 in plain sight, 2 behind the battery cover. Take off your batteries). If you don't have a tri-wing screwdriver a small enough flat-head one works fine, too. Take off the back plate of the GBC. There are three phillips screws holding the main board in. Remove those too. Carefully lift the board and turn it to the other side (don't try to remove or damage the ribbon connecting the screen). You will see the contacts for the buttons. Clean them with a soft (hopefully lint free) cloth. Sometimes scratching the grime through the cloth works. After you can see the contacts (4 for each button in the case of Start/Select) reassemble your Game Boy following the reverse steps. WebRepOverall ratingThis site has no rating(not enough votes)

Well if the battery inside of the game pack that alows you to Dave the game data is dead you will have to open the cartiage up with a 3.8 mm bit tool then and unsolder the old battery and resolder the new one to the inside of the game pack or just buy a new game pack then. Jj games.

Well it could be that the game boy color needs new batteries then or the console it's self Is broken.

Well I think that the Head phones that you are using are not working then.

Well it the machine is off the batteries are off then and will work when it's turned on.

Well it sounds like the speaker is not working properly so it's the speaker that's doing this not the console it's self then. 2 double AA batteries I use energizer and duracell for mine and do not use re chargerAble batteries either

Well if the battery inside of the game pack is dead then un solder it and resolder the new battery in the battery socket inside of the game pack. To fix a broken game pack you need to find out which piece is broken and ding that specific part from some where would be easier to buy a new game pack

Hi you will need to get a new speaker for it.

its most likely corroded battery terminals so take the batteries out and clean the terminals with some alchohol and then try. if nothing happens then your gameboy is dead. A cold environment is a good place to store electronics so I don't think it is that. most gameboy problems are caused by ageing of the device.

Well technically there is no back light for gameboy colour but gameboy advance SPhas a built in light to it then. You can play gameboy color and original gameboy games on an sp then.
