How could this happen to me? I didn't want to order a new screen or fuck around with screws, I just wanted something as simple as giving my childhood GBA a little cleaning job, why did it have to grow inside the screen? I'm genuinely upset right now because I was SO CONFIDENT it wasn't going to be a goddamn science project and now here it is, a GBA with a completely fucked up screen, you can't even see the game anymore, that's a good trade, ain't it? Before I would see the game and this ugly Mold, but after THUNDERDICK right here gives his treatment I can not only JUST see the mold, I can see my fingerprints, smudges and fuckloads of dirt.

I just wanted my old GBA to be back the way it was.

it's blurry as shit, you wouldn't know, but let me tell you, it straight up blocked the game, putting it against the sun sorta helped, but it would just grow back again during the night.

I wouldn't buy anything else vr related until you move out of the wasteland.
Just emulate everything.
And when you grow up and learn how to clean things I would revisit collecting.
>mold grew bigger and grew back overnight.

Hey op.
You could scrounge around on eBay for a for-parts GBA so that has a working screen but looks like shite. Swap it into your childhood shell. It'll be OK. Take care.
