UPDATE! Apparently this kit was just updated to have a metal shielding attached that can be removed to access the board, but the screen is also laminated now so you can't remove the screen lens like I did. Aaaaand now they have a new listing on AliExpress with the red lens so that screen died for nothing RIP. You can grab the red lens version here: tinyurl.com/mv7xk8fz If you are a part of the 99% who are gonna leave the screen lens alone, the installation process is the same. You just don't have to assemble the screen anymore. It’s actually even easier for you guys now!

Getting tired of waiting for my buddy to get around to modding his SP. So I just ordered one of these kits for him. Affordable, simple, and will definitely be worthy upgrade for his childhood AGS-001. Now, if only it were an AGB-001, then it would be truly awesome. lol

Wouldnt it possibly work to change the wire for the touch brightness control to a longer one and then solder that to the brightness button?

Jake man love the videos got me an SP didn't know if it worked I had to buy a charger well when I plug it in the light flashes for just a sec and will not hold charge so I bought battery and it is on the way any other advice or is my sp fried also the original battery does not seemed to be bulged if ya see this and reply Thanks much my dude!!!

@JakeSimmons Жыл бұрын

It’s most likely a bad battery. It could also be a bad fuse or even an issue with the charge port. Hopefully it’s just the battery though

@Jake Simmons jake idk if you'll see this but another question I got the battery and when I plug in the charger the orange light comes on for a second and off would I need to replace the charging port? I can't seem to find a video on it if you have one. Thanks agin

@JakeSimmons Жыл бұрын

@@badguyfishing2344 I’m working on a video that goes over all of the most common game boy issues across all of the models. There is a section about the charging issues on the sp. I’m trying to get it finished for tomorrow but it’ll probably be delayed until next week

@JakeSimmons Жыл бұрын

@@badguyfishing2344I would actually join the discord (link in description) and ask for help there. I’m restructuring my video to be separated into one video per model and the SP one will be a little while longer. So in the meantime, I recommend joining the discord so me or someone else can help you because I don’t want to keep you waiting for my video

Wait so I just got a famicom gameboy and would love to keep the red screen would it be possible to peel off the screen like you did to a ITA screen from retro gaming repair shop? I’ll just make sure to heat it up so it will peel easily

@Jason-sz6ep Жыл бұрын

Or do I buy a gameboy advanced screen like you did the second go? And just re add my lense like you did

So what exactly does this mod do? Just changes screen brightness?

@Resolve_DigitalMedia Жыл бұрын

to use or not to use IPA for cleaning? one video i watched you mentioned to not use IPA.

@JakeSimmons Жыл бұрын

With the SP’s buttons you need to be careful. You don’t want liquid seeping into the dome switches. I recommend getting a toothbrush wet with IPA and cleaning the board that way. I would still avoid the buttons though. Also, no liquid around the screen
