Cleaning an original Game Boy?

[Lycan911]

So, my Game Boy, like many others, has started taking up on a yellow-ish color. Does anyone know a good way to clean it up so it would look like a good ol' gray Game Boy again? Which cleaning solutions to use, safest ways to disassemble it and such?

Try with some javel water and cleaning linen.

Does anyone have any experiences with Hydrogen Peroxide? I just found a bunch of articles and videos of people cleaning old plastic with it.

My friend used peroxide on a SNES and got decent results. Not amazing, it wasn't like "day one" brand new, but it definitely helped.

You could purchase a new housing shell? Not particularly pricey and a lot less hassle than peroxide!

Just buy some strong cleaning wipes or some sort of pure alcohol from like a hardware store, pure alcohol will clean off basically anything so don't use it over any lables or anything.

Alcohol won't do it if the plastic itself has turned colors, then it is the hydrogen peroxide cream, retrobrite, or basically forget it.

For the same price of peroxide creams etc, and without all the hassle, try these new shells - newly cast too! http://asmretro.com/dmg-shells
