Documentation

Notes

  • Note that the LCD comes with a pre-attached lens; we do not recommend attempting to remove this lens, as it is adhered directly to the LCD
  • We strongly recommend you follow the tutorial linked in the Documentation section, and use one of our professionally trimmed SP shells, to minimize the risk of damage during the installation.

Warning

  • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your Game Boy Advance. Please follow our Display Testing Guide to confirm the kit is working before the adhesive is secured, the display protection sheet removed, or any non-critical soldering to the ribbon or driver PCB. We are unable to accept returns or replacements on kits that have been installed in a console. Individual replacement parts may be available in the "Included" section above.
  • The ribbon is very fragile, be sure to handle it carefully to avoid damage.
  • Too much pressure can permanently damage the display, do not force the shell closed around the LCD. Ensure the shell is properly trimmed for the display before attempting to install it.

All perfect

Everything was perfect on Retro Modding's end. I could not say anything bad even If I wanted to.

Brilliant Display, Amazingly bright and Excellent Support

The experience of modding my Gameboy Advance was not too overly challenging, but not for everyone. I have some experience with electronics, though, and that helped. The instructions were easy to follow, but I did need to go back in and remove more plastic from the bezel. This is where the support team helped. Initially after installing it, everything worked great but there was a small yellow circle in the bottom left of the screen. The support team helped to identify that the reason was because I had not cut away enough plastic and the screen was being lightly pinched in that area. After I cut away more plastic, everything was perfect and crystal clear. This is an awesome screen with deep darks, brilliant color and it is very bright. I highly recommend this upgrade.

One last thing to note was make sure you are mindful of your ribbon cable being curled up inside the hinge. I had mine exposed slightly and if I hadn't noticed, it would have been damaged simply by opening and closing the Gameboy to play.
