Repairing a cut power adapter cable with a splice

In this video I attempt to remove and replace a Gameboy screen by desoldering it from the PCB w/o damaging it and then soldering it back in place.

This could make backlight mods easier to do and would allow salvaging the DMG screen for spare parts if doing a Game Boy pocket to DMG screen mod.

tl;dw- I had mixed success with this shell. The A/B buttons did not sit at the right height and I had to do some modifications to the shell to get them to work. However, in general this is a nice quality replacement shell and it may be worth buying.

While an attempt at boiling the 72-Pin connector did improve things with this NES, it didn't restore it to 100% functionality.  I attempted a second boil, cleaned some games, and end up re-bending the connector pins. Tools used in this video:
