This is my teardown of the Game boy colour.

Take the Game boy and notice the way that it has been injection molded using two tools on the injection molder. The first thing to do is to separate these parts.

The other small screws in the back panel are very hard to get to you need to drill these out but be careful not to damage the gameboy because this can crack the back panel.

You can use a triwing tip instead.
I don't really get why you will drill out the screws! They are special screws, and ofcourse there's also a screwdriver for them, called Tri-wing - used in many parts, including Nintendo and Apple. Look it up at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-Wing
I've bought one myself on eBay - that's better than screwing your Game Boy up ;)
Buuuh!!! Why are you using an electrical screwdriver!
That's cheating man!
Do not use a drill or phillips head screwdriver, use a tri-wing screwdriver. This step should be edited to reflect the proper procedure.

The metal cassette holder on the back plastic panel can be removed by simply using a small screw driver in all four corners this should mean it pops off.
What does the metal cassette holder do? Does it have any specific purpose?

-
some parts of the circuit board can also be removed and looked at much closer such as the speakers and the LED lights on the product.
I wish I could take a picture of my situation I've succeeded in pulling out the back cover because I need to clean my corroded battery points. I see only 2 heads on the board what do I do?

That feel when everything turns out perfectly. ^.^ Thanks a lot for the guide! I was able to switch out a few broken/worn out bits, and now it's working like new! Super hyped! Thank you so much!
(Also, the screws that are mentioned needing a drill are regular phillips screws and, are indeed incredibly tough to get out without a drill. Though, the ones in my Gameboy were somehow already stripped pretty badly.)
DEFINITELY do NOT need to use a drill to open a Gameboy Color!
Exactly! I've watched plenty of repair and restoration videos regarding Gameboy Color systems and NONE of them use a drill
The 6 screws to open the case ARE NOT PHILLIPS! They are Tri-Wing, a Y shaped driver, not + shaped. If you use a phillips head screwdriver, you will strip them quickly, and then you actually will have to drill them out. Use the right tool every time!
I had to open it up once because I forgot to connect the ribbon, but thanks for the guide! It was quite helpful.
Love how this model’s screen comes out relatively easy.
Will this fix my connection issues i was able to trade multiple times to get certain pokemon i stoped for like. Month i came back to do more trading keeps saying my friend is not ready and i have to try to connect atleast 50 times before we can go in the room so we go in and when we try to trade it says connection timed out ????
