    Love this Jake, excellent video as always and genuinely useful getting these comparisons when there are so many screens on the market. Funny that they often use select/L/R because I've been playing a lot of STEPPER and it uses select and L/R for its main control system! So I'm making a GBA with the FunnyPlaying touchpads only my main GBA for that one haha

    it seems like the part that separated from your LCD was just the protective housing. they tend to have a plastic frame and foil backing that protects the panel itself. So that plastic frame probably just came separated from the panel which is laminated to the glass.

    Great video! I've become skeptical about touch pads though. The first GBA I owned had two touch pads for brightness and palette. I don't know the brand and haven't really tried to find out (could be a CGS). However, after half a year, the palette pad just randomly activates, or gets stuck on a colour.

    2:20 Color Pallettes is not dumb! There are some people who have problems with color. Like my friend who loves retro gaming. He has a problem with bright colors especially Neons. Even brightness adjustment can't do anything with his problem. When he saw some reviews about color palettes in gameboys, he didn't hesitate to buy those gameboy screen kits. He prefer the purple and pink palettes for those are not causing him headaches. Sometimes those kit were made by choice or intentional maybe for some people with those kinds of problem.

There's so many different names & versions it's a little overwhelming for me lol, also i wanted to ask does the newer V5 screens higher resolution show or is it not worth it? I couldn't find a video of anyone going in to detail about the that aspect, everyone usually just shows the screen & talk about the colours & modes etc.. I've also read some don't do integer scaling for GB/GBC so I'm a little overwhelmed & confused.

    My best guess without seeing it is that something is bridging. I would double check that your solder job isn’t touching anything else around it and/or you didn’t pinch any of the wires when you put the shell together. It’s very common for those things to happen and cause the brightness controls to either not work or go crazy. Especially double check that you solder to the correct pins on L and R and that your select wire isn’t touching any of the vias (tiny holes) around tp2. Hope this helps!

    @@ChewyChicken589 leaded solder will melt at a lower temperature than lead free. I use lead free and usually solder at 300°C. I’m not sure how low it melts but you can always test by pushing solder into the tip while testing different temps (with the iron not touching anything else) but google says it can melt as low as 180°C. Hope this helps

    I ordered this kit from them but I was dissapointed to find they don't seem to do a compatible shell in the Glacier color (the original clear blueish color). They didn't have names for the colors either so I just chose color "16" as it looked the closest to the original color I am looking for but it could just be plain clear and not Glacier. It's hard to tell from the pictures cus the lighting varies from shell to shell in the pictures.

    @@JakeSimmons Turns out it was just a standard clear / frosted shell lol. Not too bothered it was only an extra 5 bucks ontop of the LCD price. I have found a Glacier shell on Amazon so I'll just use my Dremel to trim it down. I've got one of those flexible extensions for the Dremel that I've used for very similar things so I'm confident I'll do a better job than the Aliexpress guys did on the shell they provided. The shell that came with the LCD V5 kit wasn't great. You could see where they had trimmed it themselves before sending it out.

    There’s a switch in the cart slot that might be stuck or dirty. It gets pushed down when you put in original carts to switch the voltage. It’s supposed to spring back up when you remove the game and shouldn’t be touched by GBA games because there’s a notch in the cartridge

Plus the pastic is pretty brittle, I tore through the battery panel while doing that bottom screw, left a bump on the front of the Gameboy too sadly. That's likely due to this being my first reshelling.

If not, make sure the wires aren’t pinched when everything is shut and make sure you’re soldered to the correct spot. If you’re soldered to ground, that’s gonna cause it to constantly be pressed
