DOCUMENTATION:

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. Depending on the size/shape of this touch ribbon will change it's placement within the shell.
  • 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 (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.

IPS Problems

Seems like a solid kit, but mine doesn't display properly, and while I'm troubleshooting the install with tech support, it's taking a long time.

Easy installation

The screen looks beautiful and has several features. Installation was ridiculously easy.

Buyer beware!

Be aware that the lens on this screen is adhered directly to the screen. A specially trimmed shell is required to fit the screen. This is a cheap screen sure, but it only fits with a SPACIFIC shell (as highlighted in the product description). I've unfortunately ruined my shell and possibly the screen.

I cannot recommend just due to the fit and the lack of versatility. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a better screen kit so you can use your own shell.

Thanks for your feedback! We list on the product page several times and in the product title that the LCD and lens are pre-adhered together (laminated). If you have any questions regarding information on a product page, feel free to reach to support and we would be happy to assist!

Screen is bright and games look amazing on it! Mine came with a damaged ribbon cable, but support sent me a replacement part and it worked great.

Simply Amazing

Absolutely love this screen kit. This kit is loaded with features and even the lower brightness settings are impressive. Operating the OSD with both the touch sensor and the start/select buttons is a breeze once you get used to it. Highly recommend.
