    Documentation 

    The functionality of the Ribbon is as follows:

    • A short tap of the touch sensor will cycle through 7 brightness levels
    • A long hold of the touch sensor will cycle through retro pixel effects
    • A long hold of start + select will enter function mode; holding start + select again will exit function mode.
      Be aware, although you may be unable to see the lit words "game boy logo" beneath your lens, the function mode still works as follows...
    • While in function mode:
      • Tapping the touch sensor will cycle through different words in the GBC logo
      • With "game" selected, start and select will move the display up and down
      • With "boy" selected, start and select will move the display left and right
      • With "color" selected, start and select will cycle through color options for the GBC logo

      Notes

        • Some soldering is required, install as shown here
        • We recommend using this LCD with Funny Playing's GBC shells, as they are designed to make installation of this kit as easy as possible; while this kit can be installed on other shells, some shell modification is required to accommodate the pre-adhered lens
        • If you encounter a situation where the logo is partially missing, hold start select for 8 seconds.

            Warning

            • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your console. 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.

            The BEST GBC Screen!

            I can't say enough about this product. I've modded Game Boys in the past with varying results and this Laminated IPS blows me away. It's super easy to install and you won't be disappointed with the Quality of the screen. There are also a bunch of options to change both the logo color and screen options. Really can't say enough about this product and would highly recommend it!
