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.

SOURCE: Will not play SP games

Did you clean the contacts on the game as well as the system? You may also try setting the GBA back to it's factory settings by turning it on and holding down L,R,A,B and Start

SOURCE: Nintendo DS lite - dropped

Might be worth taking it into a phone repair shop to see if they can replace the LCD screen. (yes, a phone repair shop - a lot of them do portable console screens too!) If they can't do it, it's probably unfixable realistically.

SOURCE: port cover for gameboy games in ds lite

I hardly think Nintendo would give you that accesory as a gift.

So if not cheap enough for you then go to ebay.com and buy a cheap second hand or replacement one as it is not an crucial or required part.

If you are very concerned about your NDS, instead of that cover you can buy a leather case.

SOURCE: Game boy color game won't play

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

Vertical rainbow stripes on my GB color

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.

My game boy screen is dark

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

My gameboy startup screen is the startup screen for the gameboy color

That's normal. The gba will play all three generations of game boy games. The start up screen that comes up is that of whichever cartridge you are putting in.

My gameboy color does not work

It sounds like it's completely broken. If the screen was the only thing that was broken, the sound would probably still work. The system might have gotten wet or had some other kind of damage, so it's hard to know what the actual problem is, but it would probably cost more to fix it than to buy a different one.

I have a saved game of Pokemon Crystal on Playr.org but when I go to load it, a screen comes up saying "This Game Pak is only designed for use on the Gameboy Color"

Hello, I've had the same problem and been able to go around it somehow. Before I load my save, there is a second or two of in-game screen, then It shows "nintendo" and then "the game pak is only designed for gameboy color". During those seconds, QUICKLY click Save Game and do it multiple times. Some save files will still be with the odd message, while other will run perfectly. I suggest you save your game multiple times and very often, then you can test If then are running correctly, and delete the corrupted ones, or load an old one. Good Luck

Hi i have a Gameboy color and 1 advanced and they both have problems with the lcd screen it's so dark hard to se what's going on on it :) what's wrong ? can anyone help

you either play them under direct (sun) light or attach some kind of external light like a worm light for a game boy color/advance, but the light isn't evenly distributed. i have a halo light for my gb advance--better than nothing.
game boy advance sp has a front lit screen.
GameStop sells game boy advance sp for $40.
hope this helped some

My sons just got pokemon gameboy color hand-me-downs x 2. They are 7 and never had a toy like this before. The screens are very dark and we did not get a 'how to use' manual with them. I'm a bit of a...

game boy colors have very dark screens.
if you can, get a Game Boy Advance SP.
the screen has light and has a bigger screen.
you can get one at a Game Stop for $30.
Game Boy Advance SP play game boy, game boy color games, too.
if you choose to stay with the GB color, your boys will have to play their GBC's in well lit conditions.
hope this helps ;p
please rate solution.
