I've looked everywhere else for minutes and don't see a tear or any other imperfection. I'd take a picture, but you wouldn't be able to tell, but in person, the tip is bent a little backwards. The horizontal cables are soldered to the board behind the screen and the vertical cables are attached to the front of the screen at the bottom. If the Game Boy will be using a bivert chip, the polarizing screen needs to be tilted 90 until it appears dark. We will need to choose the right orientation for our backlight mod. The polarizing film will appear darker or lighter when rotated 90. If you have damaged the cable it should be fairly easy to spot by gently pulling the screen outwards again. Place the new film behind the Game Boy screen.
This is also the bit where ribbon cable damage is most likely to happen. PLEASE CHECK THE HELPFUL LINKS SECTION ON THE SIDEBAR BEFORE POSTING. Discussion of all Game Boy models, modifications, games, collections, and homebrew are welcome. This has happened to me before and I've fixed it by cutting a straight edge on it again with a decent pair of scissors.Īlso, I'm assuming you removed the original protective film from the back of the glass on the game boy screen (another stupid one I know).

It’s actually two mods fitting an hex inverter, and fitting a backlight kit (from nonfinite electronics), I used the v3 version and it’s very easy to fit, I did need to clean the rear of the screen after removing the reflective film, that was the most difficult bit. Try unseating the ribbon cable from the back board again and checking that no traces have come loose or bent back on the end of the ribbon cable. I actually prefer this to the GBC Frontlight below.
