hello! first time posting on the forums i have been building a game boy zero, and while i was working away i was looking at the screen and thinking it needed a protector. so i took the original protector from the game boy and soaked it in nail varnish remover. all the gray markings came off and now...

a lot of ppl have been over soldering and having issues dont worry about it just use a little bit of solder, as long as the wire is attached your good also a little bit of hot glue over the top helps just be sure to test it first before using hot glue

could you get a better picture of the split i cant see it

look forward to seeing the real thing

i do mention that.

just check out @wermy's videos for that

there's a more expensive alternative but requires next to no work:

Going to use a 4 button pcb from one of the boards sold here.
Is that going to work or does it make a difference?

It makes it easier

its 320x240 i plan on replacing it with a better one at some point but this will do for now also at this point i haven't tweaked any of the settings yet so im sure i can get it better.
