    Hi, I have four Game Boy Colors (Purple Solid, Atomic Purple, Kiwi, and Teal), one Game Boy Advance (Glacier), and two Game Boy Advance SPs (Both Red). I was hoping to refurbish all of them to factory condition. They all will need replacement screens, one needs a replacement battery cover, and they all will need back label replacement (if that's possible). No dirt or anything like that though, they are very clean. If you provide this service, please post here and/or PM me. Thanks in advance!

    Are you aware that is not possibile to refurbish them to factory conditions? You can swap the shell and the clear plastic screen protector but all the aftermarket spare parts are not original: very cheap plastic that will be covered with scratches as soon as you start using the consoles. Also you should change the cartridge connector (for "factory conditions") and those are impossible to find (there are used cart slots available, removed from dead consoles). And finally you should change the rubber pads under the buttons and also those are cheap copies of the original ones.

    Why don't you buy all the needed parts and do the job yourself? You won't have "factory refurbished" gameboys but it's not difficult and DIY is always fun :)
