GameBoy Hardware Notes
Screen rot — a dark stain spreading under the original LCD's polarizer layer — is the defining original Game Boy/Pocket hardware issue and meaningfully devalues an otherwise-clean unit; always power on and inspect the screen edge-to-edge, not just the shell. The original model runs on AA batteries, and old batteries left in the compartment are a common source of corrosion on the contacts.
