2023 Game Boy Advance SP laminated IPS drop-in screen tutorial and review HISPEEDIDO

The bright spots on the corner of the screen is actually caused by the display screws being too tight. When I installed this kit, I had spots on three corners of my screen and after slightly loosening the screws it completely fixed the issue entirely and now it's perfect. It's a bit annoying if you already put the rubber caps back on the screen but yeah, if you're buying this screen make sure to adjust the screws on the display before putting the rubber caps on.

Absolutely the best tear down video for the GBA SP I’ve seen! I learned more by watching this one than I have in last year! Thank you sir!

I just completed an IPS screen installation and a complete shell swap w/ buttons, using this video for assistance. Thanks for the video. I never soldered before but I tried it and it actually wasn't too difficult. I used a generous amount of flux and everything smoothly. Idk why but when you mentioned the part about soldering was "great fun" that gave me the confidence to do it. The toughest part I found was connecting/disconnect the ribbon cable. Theres just so little room. Besides that it was real smooth.

Thank you for a very well made video. You convinced me to finally pull the trigger and order a new screen and battery for my SP. I was on the fence for years about modding a GBA, but if I was gonna do it, it would be for the original GBA, as I didn't wanna cut up my beloved SP. The drop in screen plus the extra filter options really are what won me over. Plus, your presentation was engaging enough that I watched the entire thing even after my mind was made up. I'll definitely be back here when it's time to install. I only have 1 solder job under my belt so I'm excited to give this one a go and get better at it! Cheers!

Great video! I had never soldered before in my life and you inspired me to put this display in my gba sp. I can say that I followed these instructions, and the end result turned out great. New life has been breathed back into my gba! Thank you so much!

Followed this step by step and my new screen works perfectly! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

Dude. You are a life saver. I had no idea why my screen was so dim and it turns out the culprit was the touch controls. Thank you!

TY, just got the screen today, followed the guide and it looks perfect. :)

Thank you for this video, Joe! It was a great help to see you go step by step and I am in love with the new look of my SP!

Thank you so much for this great video! Just finished installing my new screen successfully thanks to your helpful instructions! 🎉

Fantastic step by step tutorial! Just received one of these today and found your video guide. Was a little nervous after clumsily trashing my front lit screen trying to remove a single speck of trapped dust. The screen quality is amazing and the whole process was very easy. Thanks from a new subscriber! 😊

Thanks so much for this video. I just modded my Gameboy with the IPS V2 HISPEEDIDO and wow the picture is incredible. It is just amazing with the colors, brightness.

Amazing vid! Managed to do my first mod following this. Massive thank you, Joe!

Thank you so much. I was so nervous because this was my first mod of a game console and I didn't want to mess it up. I followed your instructions step by step and it took me about an hour to do except I skipped the solder part.

This was an excellent tutorial. It made the install and soldering 10x easier. I also appreciate the controls guide because I couldn't for the life of me figure them out

Thanks very much for the tutorial video, helped me out a lot. Worse bit for me was getting the hinges back in (I also did a case swap), was really worried I was going to break the new case. The soldering and ribbon cable seemed easier than the hinges by far! Thanks again for the clear step-by-step.

Have been waiting for something like this for awhile now. Can't wait to put this to the test into some original GBA SP shells :) thanks for the review Joe!

order myself an IPS screen! I was hesitant to get one but you persuaded me to buy one anyway

Thank you for this video, as it gave me the knowledge and the confidence to perform this mod. It wasn't too difficult, even the soldering. I am also left-handed which made watching you extremely easy to follow. I didn't have any kapton tape, so I used electrical tape, but I will replace it soon. One minor issue I had was that the glass front of the screen was ever-so-slightly too wide for the frame of my original silver AGS-001 shell. I got it in place, but after I put the top half back together, the left and right side of the plastic frame of the screen was bulging out very slightly. I fixed this undoing the five screws around the screen, removing the back (along with the screen which it was taped to), and then slightly shaved down the four tabs on the left and right of the inside of the screen frame, until the screen went in without needing much pressure. All good now. The screen looks beautiful! Cheers from Canada!

Just installed this mod, including soldering the wire for the brightness control button - literally my first time soldering anything. My connections are much uglier than those shown in the video above, but the work, so woohoo! Thanks for the video walk through, it was a big help.
