Weird. I have the same. U have 32 or 40 pin?

Hmm. I have a ribbon cables (shown on picture below). On the left is a 32 pin ribbon cable with cable soldered. On the right I have a ribbon cable that is 32 pin into 40 pin from GBA. I connected this 2 cables (didn't soldier the cable to motherboard), screen and motherboard (1 with missing resistor and 1 with missing condenser). Screen didn't worked good in this combination. When I moved/touched/whatever I did, the screen was inverted, really fuzzy etc... Missing parts in motherboards can be the cause?

If I get it right, you used two ribbon cables together. You are supposed to use only one. Use the one that fits motherboard's socket.

I want well you to keep me informed : )
and I think that Mastah to due. You must choose the right cable (32 or 40 according to the motherboard you have ) and not to a combination between two cable.

Holy cow. I'm so happy with this soldering I made few minutes ago. I bought a new soldering iron and it's really good. I used to solder with a really old soldering gun (my dad's one that had 30 years lol) but now it's really easy for me to solder.

Great job!

So RCG is listing the kit as "out of production".
Is there any other place to buy except for eBay?

I'm thinking more about the LCD's than the ribbons.

 

[Pagio94]

On aliexpress you can find some

Does anyone know where i can get a AGS-101 and a 40pin Ribbon Cable for a decent Price?
The Prices are ridiculous at the moment!

Hi!

I have installed one of those kits into a GBA. It's not the first kit I do, but it's the first 32 pin kit. The thing is I'm having some ghosting issues, and I don't know if there is something that can be done. I know these screens have some ghosting, but this screen just have too much ghosting.

Thanks!

Washed-out colors seem to be a case where you just connect RECV to ground. Worked for a few people so far, at least.

The Screens are no longer made there was one batch of 5000 made in 2009 and they took 5 years to sell out..

What a bummer! Let's hope for a new batch in the future.

I have been asking a company that makes LCD's MOQ is 5000pcs, but there will be a 6 month wait as they are busy making screens for phones.

If any one wants in let me know.

That is cool, I hope you can get this rolling =D is there an estimated price per unit?

I was sorta looking into this for a bit before deciding that the lack of GBA LCDs just meant we could move on to other projects which have been sitting idle FOREVER, but I sure wouldn't complain if they were to come back into production. Depending on the price, I would be down to place an order. Shoot me a PM and we can talk more about what sort of Quantity I would be willing to order and at what price.

I bought a GBA SP (since they are not producing any replacement screen anymore) to take out the screen and do the backlit mod to the original GBA, but there is a little problem. The GBA SP have some stuck/ dead pixels and I will like to know if there is a way to fix that.
Here are some pics:

What would be your price for a screen+32pin-cable kit?

 

[Cartmanuk]

Right Now.
Price is £39.99 + £8.20 as I only have 10 screens in.

I am really interested, are they high quality?
Also they include the Pin-Ribbon Cable?
