[QUOTE="JD637, post: 8504854, member: 478351"] Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that seems to be the going price these days. I ended up buying an already-modded AGB-001 on ebay with a 101 screen for 79€. It was a cheap price because there was an issue with image being washed out. I took a gamble, hoping it could be fixed by an adjustment of the potentiometer or soldering a ground wire. It turns out the potentiometer was actually broken (the knob had come off and was loose inside the case). All was not lost though. I removed the screen and put it into another AGB-001 that I had, and it works perfectly. I then put the non-backlit AGB-001 screen into the GBA with the broken potentiometer, and it now has the same issue of the washed out image. So it is definitely a problem with the potentiometer and/or motherboard, not the screens. Is there any way I can fix this? Perhaps soldering a wire between two points somewhere on the board to bypass the potentiometer? I tried putting the knob back on the pot, but it's not happening. Non-backlit screen w/ washed out image: [ATTACH]157306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]157307[/ATTACH] Here is the new 101 screen put into my old GBA. It's glorious. :) [ATTACH]157312[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
