JamesChats | Super Easy Backlit Screen Mod for the Gameboy Advance (No Cut, No Solder) @JamesChats | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 minutes ago.
*DISCLAIMER: This kit seems to have been updated and is no longer solderless. For over a year this mod has worked beautifully, but I can't guarantee your mod will be as successful. Any mods need to be done at your own risk.

Today I mod an original Gameboy Advance to have a backlit IPS display. Complete drop in solution with no soldering or shell modification required. Do this mod at your own risk; doing so can damage or destroy your system. It worked fine for me, but results can vary. (Product links below)
