GameBoy (DMG) IPS screen install

- In this video I'm installing Funny Playing IPS screen / kit in a DMG GameBoy.
It's an easy mod / install and it is a great upgrade for the DMG GameBoy - the screen is bigger, brighter and crisp.
I'm reusing original shell which makes the mod slightly more involved but IPS ready reproduction shells are also available if you don't want to modify original shell. And the whole process is a lot easier with IPS ready shell..

This is a great solution to the screen missing columns of dot matrix “pixels”. It’s unfortunate because the original is so nostalgic but it’s necessary as almost all of the original screens will succumb to this issue. These new IPS screens also replicate the original look while improving the overall game experience. Nice job!
Original screen with missing vertical lines can be fairly easily fixed. But - while nostalgic - it's a really poor screen. IPS is like a new life to the DMG and many games look amazing and look like they never looked before... It's worth the money imho...
@@RetroTechCorner I agree, one of my original GameBoy’s is modded with the Funny Playing screens and it’s like playing the games for the first time.
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video guide. I just did my first of these for a customer at my game store thanks to you. Hardest part was definitely cutting out more screen space on the shell. I felt I did too much and yet I probably could have shaved off just a smidge more on one side. Thank you so much again!
Superb video. Very clear English-speaking
Looks great. Is that the v4 or the v5 version of the screen? Some seem to be much smaller.
Could you please give us a link where we could order these parts so me and others could folow your video. I also have a gameboy at home with pixel stripes so a link where we could order this exact same mod would be awesome!
Your video is really awesome😊
Greally great video. Thanks for your excellent tutorial. I have just ordered my screen / bracket / lens / speaker today 🙂
Is this IPS V4 or V5?
This must be the funnyplaying ips v4 q5 screen as it has less feature compared the to the hispeedido ips v4 q5 screen
Its funnyplaying kit ?
Yes
i installed one from ali , same screen, it did it the first times and now when i turn it on its al black?
Did you check the screen before the install? Double check the connector that connects the screen with the board - make sure the pins are ok on the ribbon and the connector itself (possibly under the microscope or some sort of magnification). These connectors are very fragile and you may have pushed it in wrong position and it's been damaged...
