My 2 GameBoys - Looking for advice (infosec.pub)

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!

Yeah, and those polarizer layers are a total bitch on the Pocket. When mine goes, I'm just going to LCD it. Not dealing with that again.
