DOCUMENTATION:

NOTES:

  • This kit has a touch sensor already attached on the black ribbon cable. You may use this one by simply folding into the front or back of the shell.
  • You may also use the separate included touch sensor ribbon and solder it onto the gold pad on the front of the black ribbon cables touch sensor (see media for photo highlighting this pad). You can either solder the separate touch sensor directly to the pad or install along with a wire to customize touch sensor placement.
  • After installation, if it is noted that your touch sensor is overly sensitive or is cycling, please see this article for assistance. 

    WARNINGS:

    • Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.
    • LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.

      The screen is great!

      I love how easy it was to install the screen. I'd say the difficult part was adjusting the shell to fit the screen correctly, but everything else was very simple. It's nice to have a crisp clear screen to play my Game Boy Pocket again. The back light being adjustable with the contrast is wonderful.

      It looks fantastic!

      It does what's advertised. Fairly simple installation, but dremelling out the shell was a little tough, but if you can manage that, you're gold.
