NOTES:

  • Some SEGA shells have a metallic coating on the inside and this metallic coating on the plastic is conductive. It can cause the color modes and/or aspect modes to cycle automatically. To avoid this issue, please scrape off the metallic coating and put the touch sensors directly on the plastic. You can also follow this guide to further reduce touch sensor sensitivity. 

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.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Olivia C. ★★★★★

The touch controls work perfectly for cycling through the color modes, and I love having the scan line effect for a more retro look. The installation was straightforward on my single-chip Game Gear, and the screen is so much brighter now.

Julian S. ★★★★★

Dropped this into my two-chip Game Gear and the difference is night and day — colors actually pop now instead of that washed-out blur. The scan line effect is a nice touch for retro games, though I mostly leave it off. Swapping between aspect ratios with a tap is way more convenient than I expected.

Joshua U. ★★★★★

The touch sensor for cycling through the 8 color modes is way more convenient than I expected, no need to drill extra buttons into the shell. Scan line effect looks great on the original games too, gives it that authentic CRT feel. My old handheld finally feels usable in daylight.
