AFAIK this is a known issue with 40 pin + B type screen. Try to get a 32pin GBA or a AB type screen (brown connector).I am getting washed out colors and way too bright. I have tried the trim pot does not seem to help. I have a 40 pin gba with a type b screen ( white connector). Any help is appreciated!View attachment 58404

here is the newer listing with the information that was provided in the thread. The listing did not have the info at the bottom when I purchased it. I purchased it in 2014.
EDIT: does anyone know where I can get an lcd with the black connection?
What am I looking for on the ribbon? The large dark stripes instead of smaller ones?Thanks. It's just as I thought.
You can get the screen on eBay.
Don't look at connector color, look at the ribbon itself.

It seems like the other screen is harder to find. Is there a reliable source? I seem to find only the other ones. Is there a connector that converts the two? Or maybe somehow to modify the current?Something like that.
B-type screen (white connector) has tracks of the same width, so it's easy to tell them apart just by looking at the ribbon.

Well, lee_chan1985 on eBay sells adapters that are made specifically (see description) for B-type screen (white connector, tracks of the same width) and 40-pin GBA.
Mine hasn't arrived yet, so I can't tell you if it really works. But there were reports that it's working fine.
It's been about 2 years or so since I have done anything with my backlit GBA, but I did want to clarify something regarding the AB and B screens on the GBA SP units. I don't know where people are getting this idea that the screens with white terminals are official and brown/black ends are "third-party" (as suggested by ebay seller lee_chan1985). If I recall correctly, the "white" (aka B screens with uniform leads) were the older variety whereas the "brown" (aka AB with non-uniform leads) screens are the more modern ones. Both are official SP screens. Anyone doing backlight mods simply need to look at the leads (not the color of the backside of the terminal traces).
