Send in repair service for retro handheld devices like the Game Boy, Game Boy PCBs and Game Boy Carts in Australia

Let me help you bring your device back to life! Need help soldering something? I can do that too.

Currently, I am accepting send-ins for:

Game Boy models: DMG (original), Pocket, Color, Advance, and SP that won’t turn on, read games, have unresponsive buttons, or no sound.
Switch/Switch Lite: shell swaps
Board-level repairs: Fixing traces, repairing ripped pads, and replacing components.
Cartridge services: Building, flashing, and repair.

Pricing:

See table below. The item price is $1 so you just add the quantity for the agreed price.
The shipping in the price includes return shipping via Australia Post.
Additional costs may apply depending on the work required. This will be discussed during the quoting process and updated if more issues are found when receiving the item.

No fix, no fee:
If I can’t fix it, you’ll receive a full refund (minus shipping).
