I bought a custom made AGB-001 modded with an aftermarket AGS-101 screen. It works all fine and dandy except for one thing: when viewed from a certain angle, half the screen turns oversaturated like in the picture. This doesn't become noticeable in every game, but for games with lightly colored backgrounds like Pokemon, it can get annoying. I don't know how to solder which is why I bought a readymade one, but I tinkered with it to the best of my abilities. I tried to clean, detach and reattach the ribbon cables from both the LCD to the adapter ribbon and the adapter ribbon to the mobo, but it did nothing. Also tinkered with the pot but it did nothing to fix the halfscreen issue.
I'm thinking either the backlight itself or the adapter cable is the problem but buying a new LCD will set me back another 50 bucks or so. Buying a new adapter cable will force me to solder which I really want to avoid. I don't have the equipment for that either.
Should I gamble on a new LCD or does this look like an adapter cable issue?
Hope to hear expert advice from you GBATemp peeps! Thanks!
