Notes:

A Glass Game Boy Color TFT Screen Lens is NOT included in this kit.
The touch controller can be placed near the top of the console near the IR data transfer window.
The display area is slightly smaller than the original so a custom lens must be used to mask properly.

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.

Awesome. Truly awesome.

When I found my old Gameboy Color and could hardly see the screen, even in direct sun, I thought there has to be something better. I had heard of backlight kits and I'm so glad I found Hand Held Legends because this is so much better. Installation was super easy and the video was helpful. I'm recommending this company to everyone I know that has retro consoles.

My only minor complaints: (1) I'm not sure what the screen-shaped sticker in the kit was for, or the plastic pieces with adhesive (not the 3D-printed fit ones. (2) I wish the sides of the display were black -- since it's a little small you have some white bars on the side. But once you start playing you forget about them.

A++++++ kit. Amazing work folks!

Great product but needed better instructions

The kit worked perfectly and really brought my Gameboy to life.

Awesomeness!!!

I've installed 3 of these things so far, and I love them. Sure, the display is smaller, but its backlit and the install is super simple. I take my gameboys to work with me sometimes to play on break, and I ALWAYS get compliments on them. The younger crowd asks if they're emulators and I'm like "No. They're legit." Actually have a few people waiting for me to install some in their gameboy. Might try the IPS when my solder skills get a little better, but the TFT is great for a beginning modder.
