I have a Game Boy that won't turn on. What should I do?

The Game Boy in question is the original model Game Boy, made in 1989. I received the Game Boy as a Christmas gift from my late grandmother in 1996. I already looked into the battery compartment, and it doesn't show any signs of battery explosions. The Game Boy looks fine. However, I still can't turn it on, even if I put in fresh batteries. What's the problem? Can anyone tell me what to do to solve this problem?

    I still have mine and it works. But that doesn't solve your problem. Take it to a computer repair shop as it is probably just a shorted fuse or wire. Nintendo would probably fix it for you but they'll charge you more then a local store I think. Email Nintendo and ask them.
