What We Did Before This Ships
Every console we sell is opened up and serviced by hand.
We don't just confirm it powers on — we look inside.
This unit was fully disassembled and cleaned internally; dust was removed from all components.
All boards and electrical contacts were cleaned with ethanol and a fast-drying, residue-free electronics cleaner to remove oxidation and residue.
Moving mechanical parts were lubricated with a light application of silicone grease for smooth, quiet operation. (We do not apply grease to electrical contacts — they are cleaned only.)
Electrolytic capacitors are replaced only when there is visible corrosion or leakage — nothing more, nothing less. For console families known for capacitor failure, a full recap is performed as standard.
If a console cannot be properly restored, we do not sell it.
After reassembly, the unit is tested with an actual game: video, sound, and controller input are all confirmed.
Before we seal the box, we power the console on one more time and confirm it is still working.
Every console includes 30 days of support after it reaches you.
A note on power: This is a battery-powered handheld and does not connect to household mains, so no voltage transformer is required. (Batteries are not included unless stated.)
A note on region: This is a Japanese Game Boy (or Game Boy Color). The hardware is region-free — cartridges from any region fit and run without restriction. Japanese cartridges will display in Japanese; North American and European cartridges will display in their original language.
If anything here isn't covered, just ask — questions are always welcome.
