DOCUMENTATION:

NOTES:

  • Only pairs with the Replacement Shell for Game Boy Advance - IPS Laminated - Funnyplaying. Other other shells require extensive trimming. Refunds/replacements are not accepted if the incorrect shell is used.
  • If you received a bracket that looks different from the one in the product photo, you may have received the wrong bracket. Please check to make sure you have received the correct bracket. If this is not completed and the LCD kit is damaged, refunds/replacements will not be accepted.
  • Long touch the touch sensor to bring up the OSD display, from there tapping the touch sensor once will adjust the value, and long holding the touch sensor a second time will allow you to cycle through the OSD. To exit OSD either wait 10 seconds or long hold the touch sensor for about 10 seconds.
  • No longer includes foam. Touch sensor (now a larger size) can be adhered to the back of the LCD with Kapton tape/included adhesive when folded in the middle. The touch sensor can also float freely without adhering while being held down by the bracket.
  • After installation, if it is noted that your touch sensor is overly sensitive or is cycling, please see this article for assistance.

WARNINGS:

  • You do not need to purchase a separate lens. Removing pre-adhered lens from LCD can result in damage to the LCD and will void product warranty. If you received an extra lens in your order, this was likely a included plastic lens with a shell and should NOT be placed on top of the pre-adhered lens.
  • 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.

Great upgrade for the GBA

Easy upgrade, but big improvement for the GBA.

Dead Pixels on Arrival

Per the title, my screen has about 100+ dead pixels on the left side from the minute I tested it. Waiting for a reply on getting a refund/replacement.

Thanks for the review! If you haven't heard back from support already, please send us another message to support@handheldlegend.com so we may get this resolved for you.

Nice screen... BUT

I aboslutely love the screen, I don't like how Funny playing makes these laminated screens so you HAVE to use their shells, and I also HATE the touch sensor. I wish there was a simple way to remove it, but after doing SOME research, I don't see anything that is straight forward without possibly damaging the IPS panel/board. Do better funny playing. Other than that, the screen has no issues, and is centered dead on.

Amazing Screen!

The screen looks fantastic! Install can be a tad finicky, but not too difficult. One downside of the screen is that the touch sensor, which is a very convenient addition, is VERY sensitive. I find myself accidentally brushing against the glass and dimming the screen.

Overall though, it is a great product and I am very pleased to have installed it.

STUNNING!

I love that you can raise brightness. I had no idea until I tried it out. I had a friend recommend this backlight and install it for me. Very easy install. I also bought a GBA shell to fit everything. Looks completely brand new
