You basically have to take the Gameboy out of the housing and run a soldering iron over the ribbon cable to reheat the soldering joints and let them reconnect like that. It can take time just depends on how many lines you have. Also I cannot fix horizontal lines

That sounds needless tedious to do, but as long as it works.

On the screen thing if you all want a better term to look up go with hot bar soldering. It is fairly common failure mode on screens, though for laptops I find it is more that the manufacturers cheaped out and put a ribbon maybe 2mm too short in and the thing fatigued though occasionally it can be that the ribbon pulled on the connector and you can reflow that.
Not covering it specifically but getting somewhere near

My brother found an abandoned kitten in the park a few days ago and we decided to adopt it :D

I got a few things in the mail.

NES30 Pro from Massdrop
2GB stick of SODIMM DDR2 RAM for my old netbook
A single that was only released in Europe
And a Macbook that i paid 200$ for and it works pretty good for a 2008 model.
