- Install Video- NOTE: Please refer to install guide before using the video. Guides will have very important information and steps needed that the videos may lack.
- Non-recommended shell trim guide - *Please read warning at the top of product page before proceeding with purchase/install. We only recommend pairing this IPS kit with the laminated shells by FunnyPlaying. All other shells will require modifications, install at your own risk.
- How to test your LCD kit - *Please see notes regarding power wire.
NOTES:
-
Kits may no longer include a touch sensor as a separate item. This kit has a touch sensor already included on the black ribbon cable. You may use this one by simply folding into the front or back of the shell, to rest on the top of the shell. You may also use the included touch sensor ribbon and solder it onto the 'TCH' point if you wish to change the position of your touch sensor.
- The power wire may need to soldered for the LCD to show an image. It may not be required with later versions, however, in order to receive maximum brightness on the LCD this wire will need to be soldered on. If your LCD is not showing an image during the testing phase (remains black but you hear the start chime), please solder the PWR wire.
- After installation, if it is noted that your touch sensor is overly sensitive or is cycling, please see this article for assistance.
- We only recommend pairing this IPS kit with the laminated shells by FunnyPlaying. All other shells will require modifications, install at your own risk.
WARNINGS:
- You do not need to purchase a separate lens. Removing pre-adhered lens from LCD can result in damage to the LCD and will void product warranty. If you received an extra lens in your order, this was likely a included plastic lens with a shell and should NOT be placed on top of the pre-adhered lens.
-
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.
- Damage to console or LCD may occur if you do not trim the cartridge port pins. Exercise caution when trimming pins, wear eye protection to protect from pin debris when cutting the metal. Damage caused by these pins are not covered under our return or exchange policy. Trim the pins of your Gameboy's cartridge slot flat so that they don't interfere with any parts of the kit. We also recommend placing some Kapton tape over the trimmed pins to prevent any shorts.
