Excellent laminated screen. On screen display menu via touch or oem brightness button is super nice
Shell is very high quality and has a nice glossy finish. Have purchased multiple FP shells from Retro gaming now
Amazing replacement screen, its nice since I broke the ribbon cable on my original screen falling down the stairs
If you buy the GBA Laminated 3 inch IPS screen kit with the laminated-IPS-ready GBA shell, then this USB battery should definitely be on your shopping list. I assembled the 'NEW' Funnyplaying GBA screen kit and proceeded to use IKEA rechargeable AAs as before, but noticed that the battery warning light would come on almost straight away, especially with screen on bright. Perhaps the low-voltage threshold is reached quicker with the laminated mod. The USB battery seems to have solved this. Oh, and it fits like a glove in the IPS-ready shell. No cutting or trimming required.
For comparison, I have another GBA with an earlier non-laminated IPS screen running the IKEA rechargeables which doesn't suffer the same low voltage issue, and lasts for ages on the AAs.
Get a clear or frosted battery cover so you can see the charge status lights without taking off the battery cover. The PCB looks great - put it on show!
I'm not sure why the heatsink must be applied over the battery charge lights guide on the PCB. Was it an afterthought?
This kit was easy to install.
Super crisp screen and easy to adjust the settings.
Firmware was easy to upgrade, there is firmware to replace the boot logo.
Tested and installed.
Great battery, replaced a dead one, quick shipping
If you're handy with a soldering iron and have flux and wick handy, this mod is a great modernisation to the GBASP
Pretty pricey for what it is including shipping. Fits GBA perfectly, however does not fit if put wired headphones inside the side mesh. Recommend for Aus buyers. Even though Temu or Ebay costs like 5$ but the shipping took forever
It was a quality product and was well worth it compared to the existing speaker, but also not for novice solderers
Arrived promptly and helped me get in to the majority of my retro consoles.
Great replacement for swollen and failed original battery in my GBA SP. Installed in a reshelled unit (eXtremerate) and had no issues with fitment.
Does exactly what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less. Bought it solely for the 'gamebit' head to open up GB carts. Can't go wrong at the price point, and the bits are compatible with your other driver sets.
Screen itself is great but I bought the compatible case, and the mounting bracket was the incorrect size. So the mod took longer than it should have. and ended up not using the mounting bracket.
I can play all my favorite GBA games on one single cartridge!
I accidentally ordered this when I didn't need it lol. However item is as described. Keep in mind if you are ordering an IPS display you do not need this as it already comes with the exact same glass lens.
Item is just as described, I did damage the front a little by using a screw that was too big for the hole, however that was my own fault and I can live with it.
