Classic Backlight for Game Boy

Backlight was easy to install and works like a charm. Nice contrast when paired with a bivert chip, highly recommend.

Love this color. Reminds me of the original screen. Quite dim compared to other colors but I prefer that. Bivert chip also installed.

Always happy with any retromodding products.

Really happy with these, easy to install

easier than i though, and very funny

Everything works great. It's a nice quality! fast and safe shipping. Thank you!

Friendly and good customer service. Came the day they told me. Well package Definitely shop here again

I'm pretty new to modding, but this backlight was super easy to install. The film on the back of the screen is a bit tedious, but that's the worst part. The end result looked great, and now I can play Pokemon in complete darkness! I would highly recommend this to anyone that doesn't have a backlight.

well-packaged and looks great. Don't forget the bivert

This was my first mod along with a bivert for the DMG. It can be pretty tough and tedious to scrape the back of the glass. Set aside a few hours and go slow and you'll do fine.

Relatively easy to install and makes the screen so much clearer! Can't imagine playing a game boy without a backlight anymore!

It’s a great little piece of tech to add a simple backlight. Made even nicer by the Bivert chip that retro modding sells.

Ordered a Game Boy Backlight and received it without any form of instillation instructions or any link to where to go for it. message sent to [****] was ignored.

Pretty good replacement 100% recommended

A couple years ago, I modded my Game Boy Pocket with a TFT screen (I think that's what it's called), then put IPS screens in my GBC and GBA. I recently had an interest in doing a different type of mod, so I bought a red backlight (later swapped with an orange one) and modded my DMG. Embarrassing story time. It took almost an hour to get the reflective film off the back of the screen because I didn't have any isopropyl alcohol and didn't feel like getting it, so I slowly removed the film to avoid damaging the screen. I then had difficulty fitting the backlight behind the screen somehow. I eventually finished the mod and had fun doing it. The obvious shortcoming to backlighting is a dimmer image, but a bivert chip fixes it. Frustrations aside, I wouldn't mind trying to backlight a GBP later on.

I am very Pleased!!

I was worried that even the Olive backlight would cause my Gameboy to look non-stock when in the daylight.
But when I put it in, the panel's color when off looks so close to the original you can only tell it's not original when next to a stock Gameboy!

I am also very pleased with the color of the light when playing in the dark. It looks exactly as I imagined a backlit DMG Gameboy should!

The installation was a little hairy, but the screen's ribbon cables held, despite the tension I put on them. Once the backlight panel was dropped in, it was a simple re-assembly.

I'm just using the stock power regulator, we'll see how it holds up over time.
This was a junkier Gameboy I wasn't too concerned about breaking worse, so if it does die, it's not too much of a loss. Coincidentally, the very slight extra width the backlight aided in removing some dead lines on the screen by adding just enough pressure to the ribbon cable-LCD junction!

It would be fun to try some of the other colors if I get more Gameboys.

Game Boy Backlight

It's way better than I was hoping for. It's like it should have been on release.

Amazing product 💕

Got the olive-green backlight and it looks great. I appreciate the clarity on this kit (I installed the bivert chip along with it) and the color is really cool

Easy to install. Just wish it distribute the light more evenly

Love the look of the olive green backlight with the DMG shell.

Works well, as it is very bright. Be sure to install a bivert chip to improve the contrast of the image.

The whole kit was so incredibly easy to put together! It breathes a new life into the original Gameboy.

The olive green backlight is phenomenal. Its is indeed very dim compared to others, but it is 100% visible in 99% of lighting environments. The only issue I've run into is when there is direct light. In that case, the screen was not viewable.

If you don't want to spring for a more expensive screen kit, a backlight panel is an excellent option.

Even with my basic soldering skills installation was fairy simple. Picture quality isn’t as clear as an IPS, for example, but for the price this is a great option.
