Pineapple Case Posting

Buy a used old non functional Gameboy Classic (i got mine at a local gameshop, wich sells old vintage computerstuff)

Gameboy with backcover plus 1 old game (not on 1st fotos) = €12

Battery Holder incl switch at a local techstore = €1.95

2 power connectors at a local techstore = €3.00

Solder one of the connectors to the batterypack

Test your solderskills :)

Unscrew the six screws from the bottom and pull out the flatcable

Turn gameboy facing inside out :)

Unscrew the hardware from the bottom half (bottom = part with batterypack)

Be carefull removing, because we need the battery connectors :)

Remove the silver shield to complete the first cleanup :)

Part 3 :

We still want to use the front buttons (retro feeling)

Cut the curcuitboard into half

Like this :)

Screw the bottom half back onto the gameboy

initially i wanted to keep all wheels etc working, but it takes to much space, so i removed the contrast en volume button and glued them (fotos later)

Back to the other cuircuit board :)

Unsolder the battery connectors

Like this :)

Initially i cut he circuitboard to resuse the contrast and volume wheels, you can just unsolder them from the board

Everything should look like this now :)

Solder a powercable with the second connector to the batteryconnectors

Part 6 :

Game inserted

Fits nicely

Glue it to the backpanel

Put the Fon router back in his/hers place

While putting it back together i discoverd some things

1.Monitor holder pushes the reset button on router (so i cut out a little part of the holder (right side white plastic)

2.The contrast and volume buttons (where still on circuitboards) are to big, so i cut them down and glued them
