- We typically recommend setting the trigger button to SELECT or START. To change brightness settings, simply hold the trigger button until the screen flashes white. Once it does, use the up and down buttons on the D-pad to navigate to your preferred brightness setting. Press SELECT again to save your brightness settings. The system will remember your choice the next time you boot up the console.
- Intended for use in Game Boy Advance AGS-101 mods
- This product is intended to be installed with the standard ribbon cable adapter. It can be installed using the ribbon cable adapter with wire, but we recommend desoldering the red wire and following our tutorial. Installing this product using the ribbon cable adapter with brightness switch may produce undesirable results and is strongly discouraged.
