I signed up for the e-mail notifications for the new screen they are selling for the GameBoy Color: Backlight screen. No case modifications and no soldering required. Has a 5 brightness control by touching the case with your finger.

I bought one with a new shell and glass screen cover since the case I have for my GameBoy Color has seen better years. If this sounds like advertising, please let me know and I'll change it or the mods can change this or delete this thread.

For those who are interested. Yes, I know the one from Midwest Embedded exists, but, they are out of stock until August 1st. I've heard amazing things about that myself and I'm not a case mod expert or anything, however, I need to get a new Game Link Port for my GameBoy Color and the ones I've seen are only the GBA style that requires a slight mod to get the port to fit easily.

In case this thread sounds like complete advertising or anything else, please let me know or feel free to make the changes when possible and I do apologize for posting this in case if it is advertising. I only wanted to spread the word about this in case anyone wanted to get a replacement screen for his or her GameBoy Color.

Removed the link just in case it sounds like advertising.

I have a few DMG-01 GameBoys myself (3 need new video boards and screens, but the BennVenn ones require case mods and I'm too lazy to do that, 1 had vertical lines and powered on easily, repaired the screen and removed the corrosion from the one terminal that was a bundle: GameLight, separate magnifying glass (needs a cleaning and repairs), and 4 player Game Link adapter with Game Link Cables, and the other 1 was a bundle (PLAY IT LOUD version) with the carrying case, Game Link Cable, 6 games: Tetris, Donkey Kong 1994, Madden 1996, NBA Jam, Monster Truck Wars, Tetris, and Race Drivin', came with GameShark, 2 GameLight Plus (light + magnifying glass, 1 needed a good cleaning and has 1 burnt out bulb and the other works fine), and the system is 100% functional and in fantastic shape).
