Staff was excellent in organising my order and quality of parts are great playing my gameboy advance has never been better!
Installing this screen was super easy (even with my beginner soldering skills). I am looking forward to re-visit some amazing games now that my GBA got a second life.
Awesome feel on the shell, the clout is amazing. The battery cover was a little hard to get off the first couple times but now it’s fine a week later. The only thing, and maybe this is my fault, is that the batteries seem to have a little too much room and seemed to slip off of the contacts once or twice. I know the lack of a divider is for the recharable battery pack but I had to glue a little plastic divider in there to keep the AAs in place.
This IPS display is very pretty, with vivid colors and wide viewing angles, and I like that it remembers my previous brightness setting. I installed mine in a pre-cut shell, so I can't comment on shell modification. I would appreciate a clearer set of written instructions, but I got it figured out in the end. If there's anything "bad" about it, it's that the pixel doubling makes the GBA's low resolution much more apparent than it is on an OEM LCD, but that comes with the territory of upgrading 20-year-old hardware.
Make sure you're prepared to trim your own shell or order a pretrimmed one. Otherwise it was super simple and didn't take long at all. Very happy with the quality.
Used this screen + shell kit to upgrade a GBA and I have to say that it turned out VERY nicely. I'm impressed with the quality of the shell and how well everything snapped together.
