Finished my #GameGear LCD upgrade today!
This involved removing the original LCD, backlight, and reflector. I then had to solder in the included ribbon cable. Lots of fiddly little connections, but it was pretty easy after tinning the ribbon cable and contact points on the LCD. The LCD kit is from BennVenn, and it's very well designed. It's also apparently the only IPS kit on the market.
Sadly, I lost one of the button membranes, but the console works at least! I still have some cleaning and modification of the case to do first, so I'll work on that while I wait for a set of replacement membranes.
Basically all of my parts are here, and I have a couple more games on the way!
