DOCUMENATION:

NOTES:

  • The display area on the LCD is slightly smaller than the original so a TFT lens must be used to mask properly. 
  • This LCD no longer has a protective film on it. Do not attempt to peal anything off the LCD as this results in removing the polarizer.
  • After installation, if it is noted that your touch sensor is overly sensitive or is cycling, please see this article for assistance.
  • The touch controller can be placed near the top of the console near the IR data transfer window. It is located on the opposite side (side further from the IR senor) when compared to the unbranded TFT GBC kit.

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.

Perfect

Very great screen, easy and obvious to install. Only one transparent plastic thingy left out, what I couldn't figure what to do with :D

Impressive and easy

This was a very smooth and easy installation. It is worth reminding that the touch sensor DOES NOT line up with the shell so you will not be able to use it and will have to just tuck it away. You will also want to pick up the tft glass lens to fit the new screen but the results are totally worth it. The display is clean and vibrant but not too bright. Still feels authentic and not too gauty. A real good quality upgrade 👌🏻

Fantastic Drop-in solution

no soldering. the Q5 is probably a superior screen, but this one allowed me to use the original shell with no modification to the plastic.fantastic looking still!

Perfect mod for OEM shells

If you don't want to mod your shell, this is the perfect mod for you. no cutting or soldering required. The LCD screen might feel a little more old-school than some of the more modern IPS mods, but it has a nice aesthetic for the GBC hardware. Absolutely love it and plan to use it for future GBC mods so long as it's still available.
