I damaged my DMG Gameboy and need a new LCD screen. You can find lots of replacement stuff on ebay but there is no LCD screen at all! Even on a dedicated Gameboy website based here in the UK (deadpanrobot.co.uk) there is no screen. Anyone know where I can get one?
Oh BTW, the uploaded picture is not mine, and that's not how my LCD has been 'damaged'
You can't, unfortunately. As far as I know there are no decent reproduction screens available for the original gameboy.
What issues are you having? Depending on the issue it may be repairable. If it isn't, your best bet is to buy a non-functional gameboy for cheap and just swap the screens out.

Wait!
You aren't that guy that drilled into his GB screen, are you?
>>3794245
Yes, I am that idiot who drilled it.

Please don't get another Gameboy, you are obviously too retarded to handle a toy designed for little kids to drag and throw around.

This is the only replacement screen on the market.

Anyone who does this to their game boy should be flogged
whats the story with the drill?

Fellow UK gb guy here. I feel your pain, but the sad news is that you are fucked.
Unless you can repair the screen, you're going to have to buy another gb.
If it's just vertical lines that aren't working, have you tried the soldering iron fix?
>>3794076
you can easily repair it if your screen looks like this

Numbnuts here decided to try inserting a screw into a hole which wasn't designed to accept one, puncturing his LCD in the process.
The most hilarious part is that the hole was explicitly marked to indicate that no screw should be put there...

There are front board replacement boards. The front board doesn't really have a whole ton on them. Just the buttons pretty much.
I saw some chinese ones on plebit in the last week. It seems there are people making screens in the last while

>what are broken lcd
I'm talking about dead pixels not vertical/horizontal line
