Attempting to put an AGS-101 screen in my GBA. Ordered the 40 pin ribbon adapter from god of gaming. When it’s connected to the GBA motherboard via the adapter, the backlight and power light flicker on before immediately shutting off. If I disconnect the screen but leave the adapter connected, the GBA motherboard boots up fine and plays the intro noise. If I connect the screen back to the SP motherboard, the whole system boots up fine. Am I missing something, did I do something wrong, or did the adapter I get ship faulty? Is there any way to tell?

Have you tried with the charge cable in? Some of that has me wondering if it is gobbling too much power, though that could also mean something is shorted out (would be guessing on the screen side if it works when that is not connected).
It could well be a faulty board but not that many around here particularly go in for the screen replacements such that we have decent fault finding flow charts as it were.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
