Notes

  • Some soldering is required, see the installation guide linked in the documentation section.
  • This kit requires Funny Playing's Laminated GBA shells, as they are designed to accommodate this display; the kit cannot be installed on other shells.

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.
  • We strongly recommend you follow the tutorial linked in the Documentation section and use one of the compatible shells, to minimize the risk of damage during the installation.

Great Screen!

I ordered the IPS 3.0 for a clear green GBA and it looks awesome! Bu holding down the select button for a few seconds, I can not only change the screen, but also the colors on the GBC part. The GBA looks wonderful with the illuminated screen!

Fantastic!

Great screen. This is the 3rd handheld I’ve modding with funny playing laminated screens. And they are all so incredible. Great viewing angles and crisp clean colours. 10/10

Amazing screen

This is an amazing screen mod, no soldering required just a simple touch pad that once installed you simply tap the logo beneath the screen to adjust brightness.

Super Clear - easy install

If you get the screen and the case, it is incredibly easy to install. Make sure you get a good tri-wing bit, but that's not on RM, Nintendo screws work well but there are so many crap drivers out there. The soldering is easy - however you do need a very fine point iron. I used a cheap one from amazon because my main one was too big. Overall, i would do it again.
