I installed this backlight on a Gameboy Pocket and am experiencing flickering. The resistor is integrated directly into the backlight to make your installation even simpler! There was no resistor in my package, is this correct? Some of the Density backlight clones on the market have tried to cheaply increase the LED brightness by lowering the resistor value, thus increasing power consumption which will cause symptoms like this. We have never had reports of issues like this because we have properly calculated resistor values. I've heard of backlights overheating regulator boards, does the Density backlight cause this problem? The Gameboy Color and Game Boy Advance both use LCD technology that can not be backlit. This backlight will only work with the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Pocket. Naturally, adding any electrical components to a device will increase it's power consumption, but the difference is negligible.ĭoes this work in a Gameboy Color, or Gameboy Advance, etc.?

We also put a piece of plastic over the front of the LCD to prevent scratches, but this is optional. Furthermore, by using our own piece of polarized film we can "invert" or "bivert" the LCD.īefore we begin, we recommend wearing rubber gloves to prevent getting fingerprints on the LCD. We remove the polarized film as well, because if we do not, there will be a considerable amount of glue residue left on it that is extremely difficult to remove. The reflective foil is nontransparent, therefore it needs to be removed for the backlight to be visible. If you mistakenly remove it, you will not be able to see any data on your LCD screen.

DO NOT remove the top layer of polarized film. Our goal is to remove the bottom polarized film (which will be replaced with our own piece) and the reflective foil. The LCD is comprised of four main layers shown in "Figure 1". Many of the Density imitations on the market are notorious for overheating the Game Boy's power regulator, causing the case's plastic to melt. Refer to the hologram on the back of the backlight panel and reference the photo above for authenticity.
