Do gameboy crystals have polarity on them?

Just what the title says. Do they?

yes, gameboy games do have polarity.(or they won't go in properly and the connectors won't...connect)
the clock crystal, I dunno.

Quartz Crystal Oscillators do NOT have polarity.

The crystal itself, no.

The oscillator is a rectangle with 4 pins. This doesn't have "polarity" per say, but you need to put the pins in the correct places.

Again, like Jlee said, the crystal has two leads, and has no polarity. It is just a crystal.

Well I think I fried my DMG. I tried putting random crystals in it and now it wont show anything on the lcd. The power led works tho. Is that a good sign? Any fuse I could replace or something of that nature?
