If you want to do a divert mod, I would recommend doing that before the back light as it's much easier to check if it has worked on a stock screen (4th image)

Remove the back-glass film and clean off residual adhesive. Dry-fit the back-light assembly and power unit on as a test. Make sure there is no dust between glass and back-light and permanently fit in back-light. Solder in the wires with the resistor. Test again (because it really sucks to get everything together and have to disassemble again).

Why/what is a bivert? basically its a chip that switches the pixels. Anything that was off is now on and vice versa. Apparently this gives a better contrast but I can't say I've confirmed this yet.

/safari-mac-download.html. On your untouched back half of the gameboy, where the ribbon cable connector is, unsolder the 6th and 7th pin and bend them up. (if you can't count, its the two pins that go to the area where the bivert chip goes so just follow the connections, you'll be fine)

next solder the 3 holes in the bivert chip to the existing solder on the gameboys board. You may need to trim the excess of some other solder in that area.

Solder the 2 pins to the board

in the bottom corner of the bivert chip is the ground, this gets solders to the gameboys ground which is the 2nd solder point from the top right corner, shown in photo 3.

Then plug everything back in and see if your screen should be inverted. To then make the screen look normal, when you do the back light mod, turn the polarising film to the inverted position.

Kits are currently on our bench for testing prior to shipment. You can check on order progression HERE for a rough estimate on shipment times.

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 isn't 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.

Questions are welcome, stock is limited!
