How it happens

Shell damage is often caused by natural wear and tear. Game Boys were made to be mobile, so it's common to find scrapes, scratches, dents, and much more on the outer shell.

How to fix it

The Game Boy shell can be removed to be cleaned with warm water and dish soap. If the damage is beyond something you can fix yourself, it might be necessary to replace the shell completely.
