AGS-001 screen in AGB-001, a blast from the past!

How did you find space to use the adapter on the cpu 01? the extra resistor makes impossible to me to fit in place, and can you post photos or advice where u sanded the case to fit the screen without making pressure points?
Post automatically merged:
Actually I have some pressure left, but only if I squeeze AGB really hard, otherwise it's okay.
As for grinding: it requires a lot of it. As for main LCD frame I have nearly 1mm left of plastic (I don't have precision tools or skills, It's quite uneven tbh).
And I had plastic bar under batteries compartment which I also cut.
As for resistor - I just bended it to the left. In worst case you can desolder it and relocate it to somewhere else via wires.
Plus I fixated the ribbon in least obstructing (regarding LCD) position.
And this LCD had no back foam, I found it like it, apparently it's unused stock LCD. (I'm pretty sure foam isn't THAT obstructing)

All other ideas that I have on how to reduce pressure points too destructive.
If you using white lens you can also paint inside black with some good paint that won't turn into dust, in order to reduce light bleed, if you want.

I connected from CPU leg to AGB REG, and from that connected to the LCD, checked conductivity, and it present from CPU leg all way to LCD, so it's connected. Don't know AGB 40 pin VR1 value sadly

Oh yeah, turns out I did a huge mistake (which is both inexcusable, and also understandable due to not owning a 40-pin GBA).

It turns out, you DO need the extra pot between AGND -- COM -- VSHA, because the motherboard inverts the polarity of the COM signal with 5V amplitude every frame, whereas 32-pin screen needs that to be stable, as the 5V amplitude inversion is done inside of the chip instead of outside of it.
The GBA board doing it externally, with the 32-pin doing it internally, cancels out the effect, and acts as if REVC is not connected at all.

You did help, so thanks. I doubt that without you I would find that AGS 40 pin method for AGS-101 LCDs works for those as well (aside fronlight LED power supply)
And it works so I'm happy with it
