https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCugGRb9bAB37T6ItI4Sclfw?sub_confirmation=1 Today Gamextc will restore the Original Gameboy DMG Handheld console which was launched in 1989. We bought this from eBay and thought we would bring it back to life, with make over to stave away any further yellowing. 

For the disassembly of the Gameboy we used a Triwing and Philips head screwdriver (link below).

To get rid of the yellowing, we used Truzone Cream Peroxide 12% 40 Volume (link below), we then placed the parts into the zip lock and placed them outside for the sun to work its magic. There are various techniques that others use to get their plastic white i.e. UV lights, but we prefer the natural way. 24 hours in the sun should be enough, but the really yellowed parts of the body may take a bit longer. After this we washed and dried the parts (this is very important). If moisture is left in the shell it will start corroding the parts again.

If your Gameboy has corrosion on the battery terminals, simply buy new ones or mix Baking Soda and water together to make a paste. Once the paste is done, use an ear bud (Q-tip) or Cotton wool ball to clean the corrosion. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we'll reply
