Game Boy DMG capacitor kit: servicing the first Game Boy
On an original Game Boy DMG, tired capacitors cause weak or no sound, a faded screen or a console that struggles to start. This JCD kit brings together the through-hole electrolytic capacitors and the inductor to replace for a full service.
What it does
- Complete kit: electrolytic capacitors and inductor in one bag.
- Through-hole components: the original DMG format, easier to solder than SMD.
- Marked values: each capacitor shows its capacitance and voltage.
What it does not do
- It does not cover the Game Boy Pocket, Color and Advance, which have their own kit.
- It does not repair a faulty screen ribbon (vertical lines).
- No tools included.
Compatibility
Original Game Boy (DMG-01). Compare the values with those on your board before desoldering.
Skill level
Intermediate soldering: desoldering through-hole components, cleaning the holes, observing polarity. Tri-wing screwdriver to open the console.
In the box
- 1 set of through-hole electrolytic capacitors
- 1 inductor

The job: servicing the first Game Boy
A DMG with weak sound or that struggles to start often has capacitors at the end of their life. Open the console with a tri-wing, desolder the old components, clean the holes and solder the new ones observing polarity.
The part: a JCD kit in the original format
The kit brings together the DMG's through-hole electrolytic capacitors and inductor. The through-hole format is easier to solder than the SMD of later models, and each capacitor has its value printed on it.
Our support: diagnose correctly
Vertical lines on the screen come from the ribbon, not the capacitors. Describe the symptom to us before you start: our French support team replies by e-mail within one working day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
