That moment when you pick up your gameboy colour and ants come pouring out of it, or you store your TV and use it again to find ants under the screen. Anyone had problems like these? how would i fix the gameboy?

Having a slight ant problem eh? :D

Sprays don't do much, powders which ants carry to their queen do the job much better.

Even if you kill the ants and get them out the device, they leave tiny bits, of food, biological waste, and dirt they have sticked on their parts. A full disassemble and cleaning would be much recommended before you even try to turn it on.

Wow I never thought about it like that, it would spot the reproduction of ants.

As suggested above. a full clean out will be needed no matter how you get rid of the ants.

Here's the thing about ants:

 

 

EDIT: Ignore the first little part.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Teach the ants how to play pokemon red, i think they can beat twitch plays pokemon time.

Open the gameboy, clean it and spray some repelent.

Cinnamon works quite well. leave a pile out in places where there are lots of them overnight and see what happens.

Do i want electronics to be fried?

 

Store it somewhere ants can't get into it?

Like my room, and not on my sisters shelf, check.

dead ants short circuitry

not the repelent part, but the rest, yes

its not a problem in the whole house, the TV was in someone elses house when it was stored and the ants are in my sisters room, where the gameboy was

Now, where can i get one of those screwdrivers to undo the screws on the gameboy colour, they are triangle heads.

Triangle heads? Do you mean allen key holes?? If they are really triangles see if you can turn them with a flat head.
