Does anyone know how to fix a Gameboy Color with non responsive buttons?

I can't press any of the buttons and get a response from it

  • I always start by cleaning the contact patches on the board and the rubber domes below the buttons. They're prone to getting corroded and/or packed full of crud if the Gameboy (or controller, or whatever) has been stored carelessly for a long time.

  • I've fixed several with that issue.

    Is there any visible corrosion on the board? Any damage?

    If not, then the contact points probably need a good cleaning with rubbing alcohol.

    You can also try cleaning the silicone pads with rubbing alcohol, but you might need new pads.

  • Retrospekt does repairs I believe. They also have gameboys for sale.
