Looking to modernize the screen on your GBA, while still maintaining something of a retro aesthetic? This ITA TFT Backlight LCD uses the bottom screen of the Nintendo DSI in combination with a custom ribbon cable to make implanting this screen into your Game Boy Advance as easy as possible!


Features

  • Similar to AGS-101 display, but with improved colours and no ghosting
  • Same viewing area as the OEM displays, making it compatible with stock and 101 screen lenses
  • Touch brightness controller
  • Position adjust feature (hold select + L + R for three seconds to activate, and us L + R to reposition display vertically; hold inputs again to use L + R to reposition display horizontally)

Included

  • 1 x TFT LCD
  • 1 x Main ribbon
  • 1 x 32 pin ribbon
  • 1 x 40 pin ribbon
  • 3 x wires

    Notes

    • This is an aftermarket product and may not feel identical to its genuine counterpart
    • On 40 pin boards, you will need to remove the C54 capacitor
    • Some soldering and trimming of the shell is required to install this mod
    • There are three plastic tabs along the edge of the LCD, which must be trimmed of prior to installation

    Warning

    • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your Game Boy Advance. Please follow our Display Testing Guide to confirm the kit is working before the adhesive is secured, the display protection sheet removed, or any non-critical soldering to the ribbon or driver PCB. We are unable to accept returns or replacements on kits that have been installed in a console. Individual replacement parts may be available in the "Included" section above.
    • The ribbon is very fragile, be sure to handle it carefully to avoid damage.
    • Too much pressure can permanently damage the display, do not force the shell closed around the LCD. Ensure the shell is properly trimmed for the display before attempting to install it.

    I'm happy with it

    I like this screen. The touch sensor is a pain, but I cut that off and just use the alternate button presses to enter the menu. The documentation on it could be better though.

    A Must-Get

    Screen works perfectly once hooked up to the motherboard. Note that it's easy to get it scratched, so handle with care until it's in the final position. Might take some finagling to get it centered--maybe it's the shell I used, but it didn't line up perfectly and required some eyeballing to get it right. If you're willing to put in the work to keep it clean and aligned during installation, go for it! It makes GBA games look beautiful while retaining their original retro aesthetic.

    The backlight I have been waiting for

    This kit looks great. The ability to change brightness level via touch is very nice. The main reasons I bought this kit are the "gridlines" that the screen provides, and the lack of ghosting seen in other IPS displays. The install is fairly simple, but still not drop in. There are good instructions on how to install, both on Funnyplayings website and on YouTube, however I think there should be an image included on the store page pointing out what needs trimmed on an original shell.
