- Jul 12, 2018 I refurbish Gameboys in my spare time and was wondering if there is any place I could purchase LCD screens for the DMG original Gameboy? I am unable to find any information on this online. Also I was wandering if there is any way to substitute for another LCD screen as I am finding it hard to find any information on this either.

We've heard from our factory that due to the Corona Virus they will not be shipping our order until Mid March. This means delays.
PRE-ORDER!!!!! - This is a pre-order, it will not ship until they arrive. They are due to arrive MID FEBRUARY though our PCB manufacturer has given us lengthy delays in the past. If this is not suitable, please wait until they are in stock to order.
This Kit includes a custom Front PCB WITH ribbon cable and brand new 3 inch backlit LCD screen. You will need to solder on your old speaker. The PCB interconnect ribbon comes pre soldered when purchased here, other distributors may provide this loose and you'll need to solder yourself.
You will need to enlarge the viewing window in the DMG front shell, and provide your own LCD protector (JellyBelly customs sell these). Some shell modification will be required. Soldering required for your existing speaker and 2 backlight wires.
While not a drop in replacement, this new screen does offer a superior backlight, amazing contrast and comparable refresh rate with the original. Due to the STN construction of the LCD there are some contrast artifacts on heavy grey images but these don't normally occur during gameplay. This can be seen in the image with the BennVenn SD logo - and is the absolute worst case example.
This LCD does have blur/refresh latency similar to the original and IS NOT ideally suited for fast moving high graphics games like DKC. It is best suited to static or slow moving/RPG games. LSDJ, Pokemon, Tetris etc. Please take a look at the independent reviews on youtube to help decide if this product is for you.
Questions are welcome, stock is limited!
Backlight color is white, you can replace the 0805 size smd leds (6 of them) to change the backlight color.
With all the parts available, assembly has commenced on the DMG front PCB+LCD kits. Here's a quick guide to installing this kit in your DMG.
You will need to strip down your DMG so you can work with your front case half.
I used a set of verniers to mark a 3.5mm border around the existing window. You can use whatever you have available, sharpie and a ruler, blade etc...
This will be a guide for when you enlarge the window. I used a CNC router to give a straighter edge. In future I will generate a Gcode file to automate this and give a neater edge. You can use a rotary tool, knife, file etc... Edit: Use a metal file for straight edges!
On the back side you will need to remove the upper two support posts, and the ring around the LED hole. Make these as flush with the surrounding case as you can.
These are the main parts of the Kit, Only the LCD and PCB is included. You will need to re-use your old buttons/speaker/screws. The LCD will arrive lightly taped to the PCB. You will need to center your LCD in the newly cut front case. This is how you do it...
Plug the ribbon into your mainboard and turn the gameboy on. It is best to use a game with a full border for precise location. I used Pokemon as it was on my desk.
Notice the double sided tape I stuck on the inside of the front case half. Gently lift the LCD while on and place it against the tape as center as you can. Before you do this, remove the LCD protective film. Take care in handling the screen once you remove this as fingerprints are tricky to remove and annoying to look at while playing.
Once you are happy with the location, place the front PCB in the case, install the speaker and the buttons/membranes and screw down any holes with the white ring around them. I suggest you don't use the remaining two screw holes as the screws will push through the front case into the screen protector.
If all went well, you should have a bright new LCD in your DMG, nice and centre. You can now install your Kitsch-Bent glass screen protector to keep fingerprints off the LCD.
Each LCD is paired to the PCB. The firmware is modified to generate the optimum contrast for each LCD. For this reason, every LCD and PCB is thoroughly tested and will arrive in working order.

You can also cut a piece of cellophane to place on the back side of the LED hole to colour the white light that shines through.
