DOCUMENTATION:

  • Install Guide
  • Non-recommended shell trim guide - *Please read warning at the top of product page before proceeding with purchase/install. We only recommend pairing this IPS kit with the laminated shells by FunnyPlaying or Hispeedido. All other shells will require modifications, install at your own risk.
  • How to test your LCD kit.

NOTES:

  • OSD can be operated with touch sensors (no soldering required) or button presses (requires soldering).

  • See product photos for OSD menu instructions.
  • We only recommend installing this kit in laminated shells. All other shells will require trimming, install at your own risk.

WARNINGS:

  • You do not need to purchase a separate lens. Removing pre-adhered lens from LCD can result in damage to the LCD and will void product warranty. If you received an extra lens in your order, this was likely a included plastic lens with a shell and should NOT be placed on top of the pre-adhered lens.
  • 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.

Hazel ★★★★★

The OSD menu is a game changer for tweaking brightness and color levels on the fly without needing a separate tool. Installation took a bit of patience with the ribbon cable, but the laminated screen looks crystal clear once it’s in place. My old Game Boy Color feels brand new with this upgrade.

Zoe ★★★★★

Installed this yesterday and the laminated lens makes a huge difference — no more dust getting trapped under the screen. The picture is so crisp and bright now, totally transforms the old hardware.

Owen ★★★★★

The OSD menu is a game-changer — I was able to tweak brightness and color perfectly for each game. The laminated lens makes the screen look flush and crystal clear, no more dust getting trapped under the glass. Honestly, it feels like a premium modern handheld now.
