Game Boy Advance IPS Backlight V2 Centered Installation - Fixing Ebay Junk - Backlit Display

RetroRepairs 2019-12-03 | I recently picked up a Game Boy Advance, and decided to do a screen mod to it. Normally, when you install the IPS display, it does not sit centred, and as a result, the bottom and right edges are cut off. Here I try and center the installation to lose as little display as possible, so I can keep using OEM screen lenses.
