    WARNINGS:

    • Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.
    • LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.
    • Damage to console or LCD may occur if you do not trim the cartridge port pins. Exercise caution when trimming pins, wear eye protection to protect from pin debris when cutting the metal. Damage caused by these pins are not covered under our return or exchange policy. Trim the pins of your Gameboy's cartridge slot flat so that they don't interfere with any parts of the kit. We also recommend placing some Kapton tape over the trimmed pins to prevent any shorts.

    Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

    Daniel ★★★★★

    Installed this in my old GBC and the difference in viewing angle is night and day—no more awkward tilting. The brightness levels give plenty of range for low-light rooms without washing out the classic pixel art.

    Sofia ★★★★★

    Soldered it in over a weekend and the difference is night and day—the viewing angle alone makes old games feel brand new. Colors pop way more than the stock screen ever did, and the install kit had everything I needed without any guesswork.

    Thomas ★★★★★

    The color saturation is noticeably richer than the stock screen, even in bright sunlight. Took about an hour to install with the included bracket, and it's made my old Pokémon games feel brand new.
