Sadly there is not a temporary fix solution u will have to replace the screen
fortunately, the screen is still very usable. I'll just have to get a new screen 🤷🏽

The picture isn't very good. Depending on what is damaged you will need a new touch panel only or also an LCD.
I've seen the touch panel crack badly without the LCD below getting any damage. Touch is a very cheap spare part.

There are good guides on ifixit.com
Take your time and be careful with the ZIF connectors.


Good luck replacing.

It is not that important. You can see it better than anybody on a picture.
The touch panel is a weak, relatively soft plastic that can break and show ugly cracks. If the LCD is damaged some pixels/lines/areas won't show anything or some rainbow effect.
Look from different angles. Should be easy to spot if the LCD survived.

oh, so it should be a broken touch panel based on what you described

    anyone here know how to use METEO?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's very simple.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Meteo is like an AVI-to-GBA converter. Just drag-and-drop your AVI file in, and then convert.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, like those gba carts that have movies and tv episodes in them?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But Nintendo's GBA video format is different, being that it uses a custom ROM and chipset for rendering, for like the Shrek and Shark Tale titles. Been undumpable for years and years.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Meteo uses it's own player.

    Although it's kinda pointless to download them anyway since you get the movies in horrible quality
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yep, they are now, but it took a shit ton of RE'ing.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RE = reverse engineering
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, can you remind me what reverse engineering meant pls?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reverse engineering, to put it simply, is to understand how the software or hardware was made.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
