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.

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
