Installation guide

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.

I want to marry DMG now!

I've always loved my old handheld. It always held a special place in my heart. Keeping me company on those long drives. Even though it was so hard to see in the late hours, we always found a way to make it work. Sadly I grew to want more and it just couldn't keep up, I had to let it go and packed it away to pull out and enjoy once in a while. After finding it had not aged well and had several dead rows of pixels, I picked up this screen mod. Let me tell you! This is absolutely amazing! It brought new life to my old handheld. We have not bonded like this in years! I can't keep my hands off it! I plan on proposing next week!

In all seriousness. This screen mod is absolutely amazing. It was an easy and straight forward install. With the included screen bracket, alignment was insanely easy. The screen looks pixel perfect and looks like it's orginal. The color palette options are fantastic as well. I'm partial to number 5.

Worth every penny. I've been taking my old DMG with me every where since I installed this.

Game Boy DMG IPS LCD V5 with OSD

Really awesome quality must have for the game boy! Handheld Legend is the place for all retro & gaming parts & mods!!

A Phenomenal Upgrade

I had previously installed the V3 on my old Gameboy so I decided to upgrade my clear Gameboy with the newer V5. The install isn't difficult as long as you follow the instructions. The ability to change the on-screen colors to anything you want is great. Although I personally think it's a bit excessive to have around 30 different color combinations, I'm sure some people appreciate the variety. Overall, another excellent screen from Handheld Legend!

Works great

Screen works and looks fantastic. A bit of a tight fit in the shell with the bracket so i used it without it with no issues. Having the battery indicator as a great feature as well
