How To Replace A Game Boy Color Speaker

A thing I like to do besides playing video games is making sure that everything that can play video games is working properly. Because that's pretty important for playing video games after all. :P Well a Game Boy Color (GBC) speaker has been failing for a good while That wouldn't be too big of a deal to most because of the near-total upgrade of the GBA SP (minus infrared). I felt like I needed to give it some love regardless of owning a SP because it's a handheld that has given me many hours of epic gaming time. The time it would take to complete this normally (like if a camera wasn't in your way and you weren't trying to make a really thorough tutorial, lol!) is around 5 minutes or so. It's not all that hard, you just need to be careful and patient.

Always remember: When companies stop supporting a game system, it's our job to keep them going! :D Don't let any game or system be lost if you can help it because what's left is all we'll ever see. Even if you can't do the job, you can hire someone else to.
