Gameboy Advance AGS101 Screen in AGS100?

Post by Lone Wanderer »

Here's my dilemma:

I currently have an AGS101 in horrible condition, but with a good screen. I want to get a better condition AGS100 to actually play games on. I also want to frontlight my GBC.

Can I replace the AGS100 screen with an AGS101 screen after I use the AGS100 to frontlight my Gameboy?

Thanks

I don't know about just the screens, but you could just case swap the 2 sp's since you are going to take out the screens anyway. And yes you can busy the front light pieces on your gbc, there are none tuts online that explain how to do it. I used the same method on my ngpc and got good results.

haha i didnt realize all of the typos there, I typed that on my phone and didnt look it over very well.
Check this out for some info on the front light mod:

One thing I would like to add is how delicate you need to be with the "reflecting" screen from the SP, I mean you cant even look at it the wrong way without it getting messed up lol. If you get a speck of dust on it DO NOT touch it with ANYTHING! try to gently blow it away. I got lucky on my NGPC, but when I tried it again with an original Gameboy Advance, I totally botched the job by messing up that screen. Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer, i have been big into swapping in lighted mods into handhelds lately.
