Hi Dasimpson,

I'm trying this mod myself and I happen to have got myself the same screen as you.

Could you give me some advice on how much of the screen board I can cut to fit it into the gameboy case - currently got it vertical but is too close to the buttons for my liking

Thanks in advance!

the simpler option is this screen http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-new-...item2c6cf89bae

but if you really need the mod the one you have I will take a photo of mine or whats left of it I cracked the screen but still have the pcb I will try my best to explain what to do

if you could send me a full photo of the pcb I could draw a line for the cut and were the wires need to be joined but I do have to worn you you will loose the ability to control brightness etc

[dasimpson]

also I had 2 diferent screens with diferent pcbs in this build so need to know which one you have

im waiting on the money to get a new Gameboy and screen been a bit careless and broke the screen the Gameboy case is looking to tatty now
I have also removed the lan port on my pi and the lan chip to bring power down I kinda give up on the project as I could not shrink the front end down to make it veiwable

Thanks mate, looking at that other screen i might just leave this one in tact and buy the simpler one - this is my first attempt and think might be wise to make it as simple as possible

Least I can then use the first screen for something else - got a couple of gamegears spare...

sounds a good idea if I decide to finish the mod ill be using the other screen I have scene it used in a Gameboy mod but forgot were
