a screen you can actually see. i bought this screen along with the recommended shell. its amazing how bright it is, and being able to adjust the screen with the contrast wheel is a nice touch. as others have mentioned, pressing that contrast wheel to access the screen menu would cause it to get stuck. i just loosened the shell screws on that side slightly and it depresses just fine now. i did have some other issues soldering a new speaker to the board, but that's a skill issue, no fault of the mod itself. if youre new to soldering like me, just watch a couple tutorial videos and youll be fine. honestly i couldn't recommend this mod enough, it makes a huge difference being able to enjoy your gameplay by not having to rely on the lighting of your environment.
It looks really nice! It fits the screen opening perfectly with only a little trimming.
Super easy to install, forgot to use the alignment bracket, but that's okay. Super nice color pallete choices!
Had an issue that ended up being resolved with new button membranes. The tech did an excellent job walking me through the troubleshooting steps and resolving my issue.
My wife's gameboy was found in a tote and didn't work at all. Through new battery contacts in and it turned on for the first time in decades. Screen was in rough shape so found a video on YouTube that showed the install and review of this ips screen and board. Install was pretty smooth, large ribbon cable was a struggle though. I have big hands and it was tough getting it installed into the two boards simultaneously because it's pretty short. I doubt it could be much longer though without interfering with the case being able to close so it's a kind of an unavoidable issue. Upon install I did have to adjust screen in the bracket once. Turned on and was bummed because the screen was slightly too high. Luckily realized before reinstalling a 3rd time that holding the contrast button down for a second opens a menu that includes vertical screen position adjustment!!! On top of that it includes an optional battery indicator in the top left corner. Love this kit so much. Soldering the speaker was a first for me but easy with a couple youtube vids. We've started collecting nintendo handhelds and love that our OG gameboy is so decked out.
Install was pretty simple and easy gave my game boy DMG quality of life upgrade.
