I got some non-rechargeable 1.5V batteries to try, and the brightness level with them is very near what it is with direct DC input, but it does dim over time anyways and it is inconvenient to be constantly buying new batteries. To answer the other question in your first post, yes the USB 64m smart card does use up more power. also if you check out the pictures, there's a pretty clear voltage increase with DC vs battery power. i couldn't speak to whether KB is brighter than HHL or not but most people seem to think they are roughly the same. it also shows not to use the KB configuration like i did.

you could always install a 1k trimpot instead of the resistor like i was planning to do, which allows you to adjust the brightness.

It will be brighter without the resistor according to HHL in the comments on this page, they say voltage is good up to 6V, but it may be too bright for you. Any idea why that is? Does the flash cart suck up more power than a 'legit' cart? The HHL website says I can use the configuration with the red wire at the top of the four points, but I will need a 100 ohm resistor, correct? Do you think doing this will increase the brightness of my screen?Īs a side note, I tried using the GB USB 64M smart card with it, and it makes the screen a lot dimmer than it is with a normal grey GB cart like Tetris.

On the bottom right of the PC board, I connected the black wire to the bottom of the four points and then the red wire to the top of the three points, as was shown on the HHL website:īut I found a post on reddit that seems to suggest that connecting the red wire to the top of the four points will make the screen brighter: But just running off of eneloop batteries, the screen is a bit dim. I bought a power adapter so I could connect the Game Boy directly to power through a wall outlet, and when I do that I found the screen brightens up and looks really nice. The mod worked, but the screen isn't as bright as I was hoping it would be, and I'm wondering if it has to do with the way I installed it. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.I recently completed the GBC frontlight mod using a frontlight and Osaka 7 LOCA from Hand Held Legend. LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped.Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.

If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell.

Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit.If you received an extra lens in your order, this was likely a included plastic lens with a shell and should NOT be placed on top of the pre-adhered lens. Removing pre-adhered lens from LCD can result in damage to the LCD and will void product warranty. You do not need to purchase a separate lens.There is a black protective film covering the LCD.Supports brightness adjustment, soldering required.1x IPS Backlit Screen with glass lens pre-adhered.
