A Game Boy Backlight display mod from Hand-Held Legend is an easy to use LED panel that fits behind the original Game Boy LCD to light up the screen from behind. Some modification to the console is required although its basic enough for any beginner.
Great service,fast shipping, loved the store just had a failure attempt at backlighting my gameboy pocket but I’m gonna give it another shot after I can get my replacement screen soon 😂
I did microscopic circuit board assembly for 2 years and found this very difficult. You absolutely have to use the slow cooling solder like in the video. Needless to say I ended up having to buy the new display with pcb in the end. Don’t buy if you have any doubts. Side note, I did test the screen light with a 3 volt battery and found that it had 4 bright spots on the bottom that lit the screen. I’m actually okay with my failure now.
It actually pretty good easy to assemble definitely recommend you used the provided resistor if your not going to bivert just because you still have that natural contrast.
Awesome product, literally can't recommend enough. It's a must have modification in every dmg gameboy, it's super cheap, super easy to install and for the price and effort it makes such a dramatic difference in the screen quality and overall gameplay experience. I especially recommend it to fellow novice modders and people who want a DMG screen upgrade on a budget. (I was initially scared to solder the wires to the bored as I had never done it before but I had no issues, even after burning the wires with a terrible 5 dollar soldering iron it still worked like a charm, this mod is idiot proof)
very good but i love how it says it doesn’t work with gba sp, ds and 3ds because those have backlights lol
looks beautiful, gives this console a second life
