Hi! I have a brown tab AGS 101 screen? Should I get a Type B 40 pin ribbon, the ones with resistors built in and without removing components from the GBA?
If you have Brown tab LCD and 40 pin GBA, you should use plain regular cheap ribbon(type "A" exactly. no chips on cable).
OP modification or type "B" ribbon is only needed when you using 40 pin GBA with White tab LCD.
do you think this ribbon is authentic TypeB in the picture below?
I do. It looks like fine and working.
