the CHEAPEST DROP IN Gameboy Color IPS LCD screen!
In this episode of my random repairs series i show you a backlight mod for the Gameboy Color that is by far, in my personal opinion, the cheapest drop in IPS LCD screen kit that you can currently buy! Yes it may not be the latest and greatest but it makes up for that by being a true drop in no modification no soldering kit while still being pretty much the same size screen as the original now at its cheapest price ever!

Where does the touch sensor go on v5?
Hi i followed your video the only thing is mine doesnt say gameboy when i turn it on 🙁 and it doesnt read the cartridge what do u think i did wrong!!
That's actually a TFT LCD screen not an IPS screen. The IPS is long and rectangular and you need to do some shell cutting with an IPS screen.
I actually have this exact same kit but once its all installed my pokemon silver game won't save for some reason. The internal battery is still fine and still saves on my regular SP and Pocket but not on the gbc with this mod. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Hey so I just installed the kit, and when I turn it on, I hear everything, but the screen doesn't light up or display anything. Any theories as to why?
Do you happen to work for Fastenal. Or your work have a Fastenal vending machine?
I actually use this screen in my modded GBC and I honestly recommend it if you don’t wanna spend to much money or solder anything. It works well. And while it isn’t an IPS display, it looks pretty good on its own! It does have some light bleed issues on the side, but that can be fairly easily fixed with some thin strips of black electrical tape.
what is this kit called
So I installed the kit but now I hear a static noise when I turn it on, sometimes the music from the games drowns it out but sometimes it’s just loud and kills the music, is it the new screen?
What is the name of this replacement ?
does anyone have a link to this ips screen mod
Does anyone know where I can get on of these because he doesn’t say it in the video and I need a drop in kit bc I don’t know how to solder or anything like that
what's the name of the kit? Or did I miss it in the video?
If the power switch takes too much pressure to turn on, is that a fault on the shell I got (not the same shell as what you have) or would that be the ips kit?
Hallo. I got the same screen and installed it. But now my GBC wont start. Just the Red Light turns on for a second. When i connect the original screen it works fine again. I have also installed a rechargable battery. Maybe it dont works with the IPS screen. Hope someone can help me.
So I’ve installed this kit, well everything is the same except the brackets that hold the screen centered. It works fine. Sound works and it starts up, but the screen does not light up, it’s just normal. Any insight on that for me?
what is it called
what kinda fluid was that ?
where can we buy them parts ?
Do you have to trim the pins on mother boards for these types of ips?
I wanted to mod my old GBC to have a Pokémon lens on top and I went with this size screen. It was a perfect first mod for me and turned out great. I’m planning on doing a second Pokémon themed one and probably going to use the same screen since I want the classic Pokémon lens around it again.
I tried to post a link but my comment got deleted or something because I can’t find it now. But I found one on ebay with the title “Nintendo Game Boy Color GBC Console High Light Backlight LCD Screen Kit 8 Colors” that looks identical to the one in the video. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the link! Asshole
Will this mod and others like it block the IR?
fantastic video, ty so much
Thanks! helped me a ton!
Here me out. I have an old silver pokemon game boy color with the pikachu and pichu on them. I don't wanna fully replace the shells but I do wanna try to add some stiff like led yellow buttons and dials to really give it a pikachu feel. What would I need to start up the project especially if I wanted to fit a nice led screen
I have version 5. Why is the touch sensor moved to the other side? will it still work?
Does anyone know if you need a game in the gameboy to test it? my screen doesnt even look color when i turn it on without a game in there and the sensor doesnt adjust the levels of brightness
Just got a clear purple GBC in a trade yesterday. Got a replacement shell on the way. I will use your affiliate link for this ips kit if provided.
Hi, JuicyJakeRepairs. I know i was late to the party to post my comment here! lol. Anyway, I love your new method of install IPS LCD Screen on the original motherboard inside a Gameboy Color system. So, I wanna ask you a question. I am currently own Gameboy DMG and I tried to look a different avenues on how to order correct IPS LCD Screen and other parts in order to install on original motherboard of the Gameboy DMG. I just want to replace from green LCD Screen to Full color IPS LCD Screen itself only, that why i like what you are doing with the Gameboy Color. But I prefer to keep original motherboards without have to pay an third-party modified motherboard in order to running IPS LCD Screen in the Gameboy DMG system. Any advices and new parts recommends would be very helpful. Thanks!
Hey! Thank you so much for the walkthrough! Got mine installed!
Thank you so much for this video! Finally got around to doing this mod, and your video is the first one that came up when I looked up a tutorial. Made the mod so easy
