Country. Jun 22, 2022. #1. Attempting to put an AGS-101 screen in my GBA. Ordered the 40 pin ribbon adapter from god of gaming. When itβs 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
My original gameboy advance from childhood that had I modded years ago with just an aftermarket AGS-101 screen, custom atomic purple shell and black buttons. I never liked the feel of the custom shell so Iβm really happy I reverted back to the original.
Check out my hats! -
I'm still waiting for my second order to arrive, really looking forward to do another mod. I got my screens from "Linda Liu store" on AliExpress. Around 32 USD per screen shipped. Its called "Original new Screen LCD Backlit Brighter Highlight AGS-101 For Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP GBA SP".
Also, the afterburner was a front light mod like the sp001 is, itβs outdated tech and junk. Go for the 3rd party 101 screen. But do know, these mods can take a bit of work, you must mod the shell on a agb to fit one in and you must make sure you buy the correct adapter wire for your model. There is plenty of info on /r/gameboy to follow. I bought a Gameboy Advance with a custom shell, but the AGS-001 screen sucks and I want to swap the screen out. I know it's a bit complicated swapping screens to an AGS-001 mobo, so I'd rather just gut a 101 model for its components. Will they fit or would it require modifying the case? .
