"WhY N0t JusT USe C3ramIc CaPaCit0rs?! ThEy W1lL laSt LoNgEr" - What can I say? You are free to do as you please with your own Gameboy. You do not need to follow this guide, No one is stopping you from using ceramic caps.
Just to be clear, This is by no means the correct or best way to do this type of repair. This video was made to be shared with amateur modders/refurbishers who have limited tools and skills. I still strongly stand by this method as being easier and safer than simply trying to lift the old caps using a basic soldering iron. If you actually watch the video, you would see that I do explain this.
