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.

This is one of the nicer IPS displays for the GBA SP

The color saturation and brightness of this display is amazing. The menu system for the various modes is a nice touch.

A nice upgrade for my childhood SP

Installation was simple, with no mayor problems. Now my system feels like it has started a New Game+ cycle. If you have basic skill with repairs, consider replacing the old screen of your SP with this crisp and vibrant alternative.
