My 2 GameBoys - Looking for advice (piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)

Hii everyone!! ☺️ Here's my two GameBoys that I have had since I was a kid. I'm thinking for the GameBoy Color to do the screen upgrade with backlight. For the GameBoy Pocket, I will need to do a screen replacement which I want to go with an OEM replacement, or at least OEM spec. I also need to find a battery cover replacement for the Pocket.

Any advice on what to look out for opening these up? And also any advice on where I can start sourcing what I need?

Thanks in advance!

Really giving the Game Gear a run for worst battery life.

Haha. I got a Game Gear as a christmas present back in the ancient times. Good thing my dad was smart enough to buy the enormous external, rechargeable battery thing.
