My 2 GameBoys - Looking for advice (piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)

Hii everyone!! ☺️ Here's my two GameBoys that I have had since I was a kid. I'm thinking for the GameBoy Color to do the screen upgrade with backlight. For the GameBoy Pocket, I will need to do a screen replacement which I want to go with an OEM replacement, or at least OEM spec. I also need to find a battery cover replacement for the Pocket.

Any advice on what to look out for opening these up? And also any advice on where I can start sourcing what I need?

Thanks in advance!

I added an OLED display to both my GBC and DMG, and I'm very happy with it. I wrote about in on my blog :)

    Thanks! I'll check out your blog 😊 I didn't consider OLED displays, but that would definitely be cool!

    One thing I read when looking into it is that the gameboy pockets 2 aaa batteries are kind weak to power an oled. But… if you get an lithium ion rechargeable battery back I think it’s better and that should solve the cover issue too

    The link in your blog post that goes to the OLED screen on AliExpress is a 404 error.
