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.
  • *Soldering the BAT wire is required for operation of this kit. Soldering this wire only will not void the return policy.

    The HDMI output via that micro HD adapter is a total game-changer — I was playing Pokémon on my living room TV with zero lag. The Q5 IPS panel makes the colors pop so much better than the original screen, and the OSD lets me tweak the picture exactly how I like it. Just know it's a real project to i

    Installing this was definitely tricky, but the Q5 IPS screen is stunningly bright and makes the old pixels look razor-sharp. Being able to play on the TV via the included micro HDMI adapter is a total game-changer for multiplayer sessions.

    Stella ★★★★★

    Installed this in my GBC last weekend and I’m really impressed by how crisp the colors look on the Q5 IPS screen. The HDMI output works perfectly on my TV with the included micro adapter, no lag or distortion at all.
