Join me as I take an old, tired Game Boy Advance SP and give it a brand new IPS screen and put it in a Super Famicom style shell. There's an in-depth tutorial on those pesky hinges too!
Apologies that the camera dropped out of focus for part of the filming! I kept the content anyway so the overall video still makes sense.
00:00 Introduction
00:26 Game Boy Advance screens - a quick history lesson
03:05 Looking at the screen kit and the new shell
04:49 The "donor" console testing and disassembly
06:02 Hinge removal tutorial
08:39 Fitting hinges to the new shell
11:42 Preparing the shell for the new screen to fit
13:18 Preparing and installing the IPS screen
16:05 Brightness control (poor focus sorry)
18:32 Reassembly (some more poor focus!)
23:15 Testing the final product
25:33 Final conclusions

My camera: Canon PowerShot SX610 HS

I'm willing to test and review decent cameras and computers!
Until then you're stuck with these shoddy quality videos ;)
