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.

Excellent screen

I had a DMG Game Boy purchased in Russia in 1994 that I brought over to the States. The screen was awful (yellow, with those pesky strips of dead pixels). It was my first Game Boy restoration project and things went without a hitch. The tutorial video for the IPS screen was fantastic and the new screen worked flawlessly. I did not cut out some of the screen to make more room for the 11% larger panel but it's not an issue. Great quality hardware and great experience with handheldlegend.com!

Phenomenal upgrade

My eyes thank this kit a lot. I can play for hours without strain.

Next to no soldering so even a talentless hack like me can install it.

I’d have never desired a game gear as a kid if my DMG was like this, haha.

I may never order from HHL Again

This company was great once had an issue with my order where they forgot an item they shipped me a replacement no big deal but then the replacement arrives damaged they ask me to go through route for a refund and I get 6$ **** dollars back what the ****!!! Absolute scam I’ve been ripped off this is how my screen showed up. Hand held legend would love for you guys to make this right.

Thanks for your review! Please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we can look into this for you. Route should be replacing/refunding broken products in full, not just partially, which is what sounds like occurred here.

Resolved with support sort of

I purchased 2 of these recently only one showed up finally heard from support they shipped me my missing screen, however they say the damage on the screen I installed was due to pressure on the screen doesn’t make much sense there’s no pressure on the screen it’s very well secured and protected I believe the screen is defective. I’ve installed a lot of these 1st time I’ve ever had an issue where the screen looks as if it’s bleeding.
