Bring a classic back to life in this hands-on Game Boy refurbishing workshop in Brooklyn! Over the course of this class, you’ll transform an old Gameboy DMG with a broken screen and worn-out parts into a beautifully restored handheld ready for years of gaming.
You’ll start by disassembling your Game Boy and diving into its core: the motherboard. You’re instructor will teach you the basics of analog electronics, Ohm’s Law, and how to use a multimeter to get the circuits running smoothly again. Next, you’ll use a CNC router to machine the shell, making room for a brand-new, modern LCD screen that brings the Game Boy back to life with stunning clarity.
Once your shell is cleaned and prepped, you’ll practice basic soldering, reassemble your console piece by piece, and watch your retro handheld take shape. By the end, you’ll have a fully refurbished Game Boy DMG with a crisp backlit display. This electronics repair class is the perfect gift for gamers or makes a fun skill-building experience in NYC for anyone who loves gaming, tinkering, or a good nostalgia trip.
