DMG GAMEBOY YELLOW BACKLIGHT INSTALL
You are now ready to install the backlight behind the LCD and illuminate it from behind. Clean behind your LCD screen with a can of compressed air. This will allow the wires to exit the frame easily without compression. Using cutting pliers or tin snips, cut the bottom rail to include a gap of at least 1 cm. Push the 3 clips that secure the frame out from the back. Locate the plastic frame holding the LCD in place. There are a few more steps before the backlight may be installed.
Use rubbing alcohol and a cue-tip to remove and clean the glass on the back side of the LCD. Severing these could lead to a screen that is not repairable. Once all of the film has been removed, you may notice a small amount of adhesive in the corners. Make sure to hold the screen with your other hand and protect the connections from the ribbons cables to the LCD. DO NOT pull without securing the LCD screen. To remove the polarized film on the underside of the LCD, protect the front of the screen with tape or a Post-it® note. Turn the screen front side facing down and obtain a clean, sharp utility blade. Starting with the top right corner (when lying down) insert the edge of the blade between the silver polarized adhesive film and the glass LCD. Push your blade gently and evenly with pressure about 0.5 inches between the film and LCD. Now use your fingers or pliers to peel back the silver film. **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.
