Just got this gameboy second hand, and the battery dies 2 hours after a full charge. Ordered a new battery and it's on its way. Everything else works fine, no problem.

Was wandering if reshelling it will be worth it, my main concern is the quality of all the aftermarket shells plastic and buttons, because the original feels sturdy and good. There are scratches and some signs of wear, it's not the end of the world but after seeing all the colorful pretty ones I'm considering it! 

So guys, if you modded your own gameboy, what do you say about the quality of the shell plastic?

And about the newer LCD / IPS screens - will they drain the battery much faster that the original screen?

I'm fine with 5-6 hours of gameplay, but 2 hours per charge is too short, gotta charge this 3 times a day that's a hassle. 

The screen is fine and has zero scratches, just bit dim even w the front light on (001 model).

I have found Alecto in the strangest sepulchers 💀

While reading Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence, this passage rose from the page like a revenant and I have not known peace since. The resemblance cannot possibly be accidental. The Locked Tomb brainrot tolls eternal.
