GBC no sound 5min fix Game Boy Color low volume Gameboy Colour

This Pokémon Game Boy Color had extremely low sound (virtually none). Replacing the capacitors had no effect. I looked around and it seems there are at least two different kinds of GBC speakers and the one inside this unit is known to go bad. I had already tried brushing it and filling it with isopropyl but that also had no effect.

In the time it took me to find the donor GBC I lost my footage of the capacitor replacement and earlier attempts to diagnose/repair the speaker. Oh well. Here is the speaker replacement process, at least.

Decided to re-up at double-speed with new voice-over to start a “5min fix/mod” series. ;)
