Notes

  • Some soldering is required, see the installation guide linked in the documentation section.
  • This kit requires Funny Playing's Laminated GBA shells, as they are designed to accommodate this display; the kit cannot be installed on other shells.

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.
  • We strongly recommend you follow the tutorial linked in the Documentation section and use one of the compatible shells, to minimize the risk of damage during the installation.

Pretty easy install

Followed a video tutorial by Macho Nacho Productions and installing it was pretty easy. I opted to do a bit of soldering because I prefer the button controls over the touch screen (and I don't think I laid it that well inside anyway, and the end result was well worth it. Definitely recommend the mod if you have access to a soldering iron and want to have a backlit screen.

Delivered Quickly

I think it only took 3 or so days to get to my house. The packing was solid so my issues with it not function were likely my own fault. I failed to follow instructions and soldered without testing, but next time I revisit this project I would likely come back.

Good screen, Confusing website.

While I have no problems with the screen itself, some of the descriptions on products (especially the shells) need to be updated to clearly reflect what shells are compatible with what screens, I got very confused with what shells work with what screens.

Great Screen!

The screen looks great and is very customizable for the best gameplay experience. It is very easy to install and I appreciate the touch sensor to make soldering optional. (Although, I did the soldering anyway because it is still very minimal.) I also like how the screen is attached to the front glass as to make sure that no dust gets inside the screen, (Which did happen a little bit on my other gbas using previous versions of this kit...) Overall a great product!
