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.

    Edward S. ★★★★★

    Installed this in my old GBC and the screen is incredibly crisp—the on-screen menu makes adjusting brightness and colors a breeze without needing to open the shell. My childhood games look sharper and more vibrant than I ever remembered.

    Michael W. ★★★★★

    The on-screen display controls are a game changer for tweaking settings without needing a separate programmer. Colors look incredibly vibrant and crisp on this IPS screen, really breathing new life into old cartridges.

    Matthew B. ★★★★★

    The on-screen display menu lets you tweak the brightness without needing a separate button, which is so convenient. Colors really pop now, and everything looks crisp and clean on my old games. Installation took a bit of patience, but the final result was totally worth it.
