    GBA replacement screen

    Not the protective cover part, the actual LCD screen. Any idea where I can get one?

    Cheers!

    Well, I thought I had seen loads on a webby, but after trawling through , I could only find this... http://www.xboxrepairguide.com/index.php/cPath/28_56

    Also it seems Nintendo themselves do sell the screens, however they cost about $60 (Though I believe that includes shipping). Obviously you also need the correct (special) screwdriver to take the things apart too.

    Hope that helps

    Yeah, they make a loss on the hardware component so when you need a replacement you find it costs as much as the device you need repairing. It might be worth finding a broken gba that doesn't have a screen fault, and nabbing that lcd, but you'll be taking a chance on it working.
    New screens for any of this generation of devices cost a fortune. Any one want to take a guess on the cost an DS screen?
