**Remember to turn on your soldering Iron** Carefully lift the screen to reveal two small pads underneath. There is a notch for a flat head screw driver. Let dry. Next, on the front PCB, remove the two small screws that attach the screen ribbon cable to the front PCB. If you are repairing vertical lines in the LCD, please see this instruction page. Now lift the glass LCD at the top. Now is a good time to clean the front shell with soap and water. NOTE : These screws are easily stripped, so be careful when removing. Again, keep these in a safe spot they are easy to lose. Proceed to remove the 10 Phillips head screws connecting the front PCB (with the screen) to the front shell. Next, remove the ribbon cable connecting the front PCB to the back PCB in a gentle downwards motion. At this point you should have the front and the back unit’s separated.

Keep these in a safe place as you will need them later when reassembling. To begin, remove all 6 tri-wing screws from the back of your original Game Boy DMG-01. It is always a good idea to disassemble and scrub the plastic casing and clean the front and back PCBs to avoid drying time lost to mother nature.

This backlight allows you to illuminate your old Game Boy for retro gaming in the dark! Make sure to have all of your materials prepared and ready to go before you begin.
