What do you get with this service?
Replacement of the stock screen for a new IPS one. The quality of the screen of portable systems such as the Game Gear or the Atari Lynx cannot be compared to modern LCDs, particularly IPS. Luckily companies like BenVenn (recommended product for this installation, for example, from ZedLabz in the UK) make replacement screens that fit the Game Gear and look fantastic. This could be considered a mandatory upgrade if you don’t mind replacing the stock screen, or your screen just doesn’t work anymore.
It is assumed that you will provide a replacement kit with all the right components (such as mounting brackets, flex cables, etc). If you would like us to install a screen that is not from BennVenn, please get in touch so that we can assess the amount of work required.
What you don’t get with this service
This is not a repair service. Please ensure your system is fully functional as stated in our Terms and Conditions, or contact us before purchasing the service if unsure what will be covered. If your console turns on but the screen doesn’t work, please check our recap service which might fix this problem. If your console has not be recapped, we recommend that this is done prior to any further work.
The screen kit is not included. You can purchase BennVenn screens from ZedLabz in the UK, or import them directly from BennVenn.
