Remove the 6 screws on the back of the Game Boy system with a #00 Phillips Screw Driver.

• Some Game Boys may have tri-wing screws securing the back case, rather than Phillips.

Place these screws in a safe place.

Be careful with these screws as they are easy to strip, and if this happens, they are almost impossible to remove.

Gently separate the front and back of the system, taking special care not to damage the ribbon cable connecting them.

Once you can see the ribbon cable, move the screen side down a little bit to expose the ribbon cable connector.

Grip the ribbon connector with your thumb and forefinger, pulling gently until the ribbon connector comes out of its socket.

The pieces should be completely separated and appear as shown in the image.

Note the location of mounting screws for the circuit boards.

The headphone jack is located on the bottom of the rear outer casing, right near the battery compartment.

Dislodge it by removing the two screws that attach it to the casing. Use a Phillips #00 Screw Driver.

Once the headphone jack is detached it will dangle by the wires attached to the main circuit board. Do not worry about the connections, they are solid and will not break.

Remove the two screws that hold the main circuit board to the casing. Use a Phillips #00 Screw Driver. This will allow access to the connection points of the headphone jack.

Use an iPod opening tool to remove the main circuit board from the casing. Be careful and try to use all sides to get an easy removal.

Once the main circuit board is removed, set aside the outer casing.

The connections to the headphone jack are on the main circuit board. You can fix it by removing those connections and replacing them with a new headphone jack.

The other connections are on the circuit that contains the headphone jack. The connections can be severed here too, and a new circuit with headphone jack can be replaced.

These connections are desoldered and re soldered with the new component.
