Dead handhelds,
brought back properly.
Every console here started as a broken unit someone gave up on. Stripped, cleaned, rehoused and repaired by hand until it plays like it did new — then tested through a real session before it ships.

The restoration process
Most listings that say refurbished mean wiped with a cloth. Here is what actually happens, on every single unit.
- 01
Fully stripped
Board out of the shell. Nothing gets cleaned around.
- 02
Deep cleaned
Board cleaned properly and corrosion treated at the battery terminals before it eats the traces underneath.
- 03
Rehoused
New shell, new buttons, new membranes. It should feel new, not just look it.
- 04
Faults repaired
Screens, audio, charge ports — actually fixed, not worked around or disclosed away in the listing.
- 05
Played, then shipped
A real session on real hardware. If it would annoy me, it does not go out.

Buying direct here costs you the same and keeps the marketplace fee with the person who did the work — plus everything on this site carries the 30-day warranty.
Already own one?
Send it in
Post me the console you already have and it gets the same treatment — new shell, full clean, screen and charge-port upgrades, faults repaired. Cheaper than buying a restored one, because you already own the hardware.

Broken, yellowed, sitting in a drawer — I buy handhelds in any state and pay fairly for them. Tell me what you have and you get an offer, not a lowball.
