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.

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.

Breathes a whole new life into my gameboy pocket! Especially with the new shell. But for what ever reason my screen is very off centered? A bit too high to the upper left? It’s all in place and I've made some adjustments but didn't make much of an improvement. Hopefully this can be figured out
Screen kit is straight forward and easy to install. Looks great and I’ve already bought a 2nd kit for another GBP.
Fits well, easy install and a great looking display. It does chew up some power but that’s to be expected.
Fits and works perfectly. Easy to install, just follow the instructions and bam back lit screen.
Once installed and turned on we discovered a line through the screen. The installation was done delicately and properly. However, Handheld legends said it was our fault and refused to replace the screen. Horrible customer service!
Thanks for your review! As per our install policies, once an installation has started/an IPS kit passes the initial test, the product no longer qualifies for replacements. This policy is in place as it is the only way we can rule out user error since issues can occur at no fault of the product, due to the delicate nature of the electronics.
Easy install (especially with a Funny Playing case) with a beautiful result. Simple to use controls for the pallets and "pixel mode". Would recommend.
