My Little boy has just broken his Gameboy, has anybody had one repaired before if so how much? I think its the screen broken its gone all blotchy even when switched off. He's gone to bed crying his eyes out, just hoping it can be repaired at not too great a cost! Maggie

Hiya Maggie, Not sure about this, but it sounds like the screen is pressing on the display. If you can get the outer front cover off,you may be able to ease the screen back to its correct position.

Oh sorry to hear this Maggie, surely there must be something that can be done!.. Bless him, give him a cuddle from us here!..

maggie not sure who makes them, but in the back of the argos catalogue is a list of suppilers for everything they sell. Which will include Gameboys. call them and see what they say. worth a phone call i'd say

Hi everyone, I've found the Nintendo Service Centre, just wondered if anyone new how much it was going to cost, don't want to build his hopes up if its going to cost too much to repair. Maggie

same thing happened to kyles g b advance. I took it back to the shop & blamed their charger for the trouble!! I haddnt a recipt for the GB but I said I bought it there & they gave me a new one..... (ok im naughty...I admit it....) E x

Trouble is Elaine he's had it 18 months. Maggie

can you get it fixed via household insurance?? say it was dropped down stairs/drink spilt on it? E x

Good idea Elaine, but I think there is a £50 excess on any claims, will have a look though. Maggie

you can also say the drink was on the telly & ruined that as well.....

including your mobile phone as well :o))

Checked the insurance - £50 excess, telly is getting a bit old :-) !!!!! Maggie
