Common Gameboy Issues

Screen Repair/ Bezal Replacement

Symptoms -

Scratched or Cloudy Screen Cover – The display is difficult to see due to heavy scratches or scuffs.
Cracked or Broken Bezel – Visible cracks, chips, or missing pieces on the screen cover.
Dust or Debris Under Bezel – Particles trapped under the bezel affect screen visibility.
Loose or Peeling Bezel – The bezel is coming off or doesn’t sit flush with the console.

Replacing the bezel restores screen clarity and protects the display from further damage.
