Upgrade your Game Boy Pocket (GBP) with this Game Boy Pocket IPS LCD Backlight Kit. IPS LCD's  are characterized as having the best color and viewing angles available today. Take your old and outdated reflective pocket display to a bright and colorful upgrade your 10 year old self could only dream of.

FEATURES:

  • Genuine Funny Playing product
  • Built-in 36 retro color combination VIA touch sensor tap
  • RetroPixel display mode VIA 5 second touch sensor hold
  • Contrast wheel brightness function
  • Overall power consumption between 0.3 - 0.8W
  • Accurate aspect ratio
  • 11% larger than the original LCD.
  • Since GBP USES two AAA batteries, the maximum capacity we can find is at 1100mWh. According to our repeated tests, it ran the original cartridge at normal brightness indoors for about 3 hours.
  • It is recommended to use an electronic cleaner to handle your power switch and gray scale adjustment buttons. This makes the LCD brightness adjustment smoother to use.
  • Case modification required on original (OEM)/original style shells. Some IPS shells may require modifications.
  • Soldering required.

INCLUDED:

  • 1 x Q5 IPS LCD
  • 1 x PCB ribbon cable with attached touch sensor
  • 1 x Adhesive
  • 1 x Touch sensor ribbon
  • 1 x Wire

DOCUMENTATION:

NOTES:

  • This kit has a touch sensor already attached on the black ribbon cable. You may use this one by simply folding into the front or back of the shell.
  • You may also use the separate included touch sensor ribbon and solder it onto the gold pad on the front of the black ribbon cables touch sensor (see media for photo highlighting this pad). You can either solder the separate touch sensor directly to the pad or install along with a wire to customize touch sensor placement.
  • After installation, if it is noted that your touch sensor is overly sensitive or is cycling, please see this article for assistance. 

    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.

      Easy install

      Screen kit is straight forward and easy to install. Looks great and I’ve already bought a 2nd kit for another GBP.

      Awesome addition to the pocket!

      Fits well, easy install and a great looking display. It does chew up some power but that’s to be expected.

      Fits and works perfectly. Easy to install, just follow the instructions and bam back lit screen.

      Screen has line through it once installed…

      Once installed and turned on we discovered a line through the screen. The installation was done delicately and properly. However, Handheld legends said it was our fault and refused to replace the screen. Horrible customer service!

      Thanks for your review! As per our install policies, once an installation has started/an IPS kit passes the initial test, the product no longer qualifies for replacements. This policy is in place as it is the only way we can rule out user error since issues can occur at no fault of the product, due to the delicate nature of the electronics.

      Love it!

      Easy install (especially with a Funny Playing case) with a beautiful result. Simple to use controls for the pallets and "pixel mode". Would recommend.
