How to IPS mod your Game Boy Advance SP (retro modding)

Hi, hello, how are you doing? It's been a bit! In this video, I show you how to replace the dim screen on your SP with a more modern IPS display. This mod breathes new life into the SP and makes it much more enjoyable to play old games on. ---------------- If you enjoyed this video or found it helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe for more!

Everything I received from them is very high quality, but be sure to shop around for the best price when you buy yours. https://www.retromodding.com/blogs/tu... is the best guide for this mod. They give clear step-by-step instructions for everything you see me doing here. Their IPS kits are also a much better price, although they seem to be slightly lower quality than the one I use in this video. Again, be sure to do your research and decide what's best for you. The shell swap is optional with this mod; however, if you use the original shell, you will have to trim it to fit the new display (see the written guide for instructions). If you do replace the shell, I recommend using the original Nintendo tri-wing screws. The screws that come with the replacement shell are cheaply made and easy to strip (I learned this the hard way). Soldering the wire from the ribbon cable to the motherboard allows you to cycle through 10 levels of brightness using the existing brightness control button. However, if you don't care about this or aren't confident in your abilities, the mod will work without soldering. In that case, the screen will simply default to the medium brightness setting. The new display uses more power than the original screen, so I also recommend upgrading to a larger battery. My SP came with a 600 mAh battery that only gave me about an hour and a half with the new screen. I swapped it out with a brand new 900 mAh battery and can now get around 4-5 hours of gameplay on a single charge. If you have any other thoughts or questions, I'm happy to answer them in the comments!
