Don't let some stick, keep you from that click!

I bought a gameboy recently....was so pumped to use it. But I tossed the first game in anddddd the start/select buttons weren't working. This will not work...

Bought some tools: 1. Phillips #1 screwdriver, 2. Tri-point Y0 screwdriver, 3. Spudger

First you remove the outside screws with the Y0. The last two are in the battery case FYI.

Then you take the cover off to expose the innards...oohhhh

Then use the spudger to push the two small black locks above the ribbon looking thing up.

Bam just like that

Then slowly lift the ribbon thing from the white thing. It'll come completely out.

Next time for the Phillips head #1. Get this screw

This one

And this one...They gone!

Now that the motherboard is free and clear....gone (lift carefully)

....buttons are exposed!!

Look at that beauty. Definitely needs a good dusting!

Lift the rubber casings out and wipe everything down carefully. Normally buttons don't work because there is a disconnect between the buttons and the circuit. Clean that shit! Don't buy a new one. These babies are getting expensive!

Boom...now I can save for days! Welcome back childhood, I have missed you so.
