FAQs
Is this replacement shell compatible with a regular IPS, OSD IPS, or standard LCD screen?
Yes, this upgraded shell features a redesigned mold that is fully compatible with regular IPS kits, OSD IPS Version 1 kits, and original standard LCD screens.
Do I need to solder anything to install this Gameboy Color housing kit?
Soldering is not required just to change the shell itself. However, you will need to completely disassemble your console, and minor plastic trimming inside the shell is necessary if you choose to install an IPS backlight kit.
Does this upgrade kit include the Gameboy Color console or the IPS screen?
No, this product is a custom DIY modification kit that includes the replacement housing shell, buttons, and tools only. The actual Gameboy Color console, motherboard, and IPS electronic screens must be purchased separately.
