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.

        My favorite way to play my old Pokemon carts!

        I got this kit with no intention of being able to use all features because I was under the impression I needed a touch sensor of some sort to do so, and some extra soldering. To my surprise, I was sent an upgraded version of the kit with a touch sensor built into the ribbon cable that extends to the top of the shell, and it works too good! This console was completely transformed when I finally got it functional and operating correctly. I am a beginner with soldering and thought I was going to have more trouble than I actually did. The screen itself looks better than what the pictures tell you, and I am surprised at all the color options for the logo itself. From what I am aware, extended batteries and this screen can work without replacing the regulator, FYI. This console is the cleanest and brightest way to play all your classic favorites on original (or unoriginal s/o FPGBC) hardware.

        It's AMAZING!

        I've just instaled it and so far it's great many features that are cool !
        Fitting it in the shell (not funny playing one) requiers a bunch of trimming and precise work but with patience and a dremel it's nothing to get overwhelmed by.

        The soldering is straight foroward and verry eazy it's almost a drop-in replacement

        I recomend it promptly!

        Perfection

        Beautiful display, 100% enhanced my life. I wouldn't ever want to play a Gameboy without it again, game changer.

        Beautiful screen! No instructions, and high power consumption

        But the screen looks so good! This is the way to go

        Would have gotten 5 stars if official installation guide and user instructions were somewhat easy to find.

        Just remember that its power-hungry and If you are using other mods as well (overclock / amp etc.) you probably need to upgrade the power regulator with something like "Clean power"

        Worked great until the laminate started peeling off after only two months. Get yourself an LCD screen that is separate from the screen plate, it'll look just as nice and last infinitely longer.

        Beautiful Display

        This is a great replacement for the dim OEM display. Does need a special shell but worth it.

        This is an amazing product! Looks great and was super easy to install into the precut Funny Playing shells. The preinstalled screen lens is a godsend.

        I got the v2.7, no soldering required! The touch sensor lets you access the OSD to be able to change the brightness, logo colour, pixel effects and move the display.

        I used this screen when I modded my GBC, it worked perfectly, touch sensor is great, couldn’t ask for a better system.

        LCD review

        Came in great condition, very neatly packaged. I never soldered before but it was very easy to do and would recommend even if not experienced with soldering.

        Looks great, no problems

        A little finicky to setup and requires a little soldering but the result is great! Love the bigger screen and the crystal clear visuals.

        Best screen period

        There's no better screen for your GBC. If you're thinking about getting one, get one.

        Easy peasy

        First “mod” I have attempted. I found it pretty easy. I had to redo it once because I over tightened the back screws. The gameboy start up screen was all janky and missing some of the image. But relieving pressure on the screws solved my issue. I did not bother soldering the jumpers to the start and select buttons. I do not use that feature. The screen dimming/ brightness works good too. I did not realize the prices were in USD. I though it was a Canada based company. Oops.

        Great screen, great mod results!

        I had done a GBC screen mod with different parts and ended up with dust or even a finger print left on the inside of the glass, but not with the laminated screen! This one goes in clean and gives great new life to your GBC. Im now playing games on it I had dismissed before because they look so much better on the bigger back lit screen.

        Best GBC option for sure

        Great quality as always from Funnyplaying, having the lens attached to the screen is SO worth it. Be aware that you'll need to either buy one of the specifically made shells or do a lot of careful cutting to the screen window, but getting one of the fitted shells is also very worth it, makes for a super easy install.
