Oct 27, 2016 I recently fixed up the screen of an original Game Boy (DMG-01) by using the soldering iron method below the LCD panel to remove the vertical lines on the LCD. It started to work fine again. However, about a week later, the screen suddenly became blank except for one vertical line on the left of. Apr 08, 2014 How to fix vertical lines with soldering iron on DMG-01 GameBoy. Nov 24, 2013 I did notice that once the Gameboy turned on that some of the lines on the lcd were not being displayed. Luckily there’s a DIY fix for this too. How to fix the lcd screen when lines are missing Gameboy DMG LCD Missing Lines Pixels. A common problem with Gameboy LCD screens is missing lines in the screen. Nintendo Game Boy - DMG-01 System only - screen bleed - FOR REPAIR -works though. Screen is starting to bleed, as shown in pics. Will need to be replaced right away, as it will fail pretty soon. System was tested and does works, outside of the screen bleeding. Perfect for a backlit screen mod.
Why dead horizontal lines are harder to fix…

Gameboy Dmg O1 Horizontal Lines Diagram
There’s a (relatively) well-known method of fixing dead lines on the DMG-01 (classic Gameboy) LCD screen which consists of dragging a hot soldering iron across the connection of the brown plastic connector with an epoxy blob, and the glass. Dmg files will not stay mounted back. The right spot in underneath where there’s normally a black rubber strip. This will reflow the glue, solder or whatever is used for the attachment, and the method can usually successfully fix dead vertical lines.

Sometimes people ask whether horizontal lines can be fixed as well. I’ve always assumed that the connector on the right side of the screen, which would be at fault if there are dead vertical lines, is basically identical, and that the only problem with fixing horizontal lines is the more awkward position of the connection — the “ribbon” is connected on the bottom side of the LCD glass, so you need to fit the soldering iron into a small corner without damaging anything.

However, the ribbon connector on the right side is different and more fragile. If you look at the top image, you’ll see a connector that looks brown. Technically speaking, this is called a flexible PCB (printed circuit board.) Just like on a regular, rigid PCB — like the display daughterboard itself — you have copper traces for connections and a green solder mask. The black blob in the middle is an integrated circuit, not unlike the chips you would see on any other circuit board, only that this one is hidden within a blob made of epoxy, and the circuit on the chip is connected directly to the copper traces, rather than using external pins soldered to a circuit board.

The right side connector has a similar flexible PCB, but the last stretch of the connection is made by a flimsy white plastic material which is easily damaged by the heat from a soldering iron. The actual connectors are not made of copper but possibly carbon or some other conductive material. My advice is, do not try to fix dead horizontal lines. You’ll likely just mess up the connector as seen below.
