Installation Tips:

  • Do not take the GBA-SP screen apart; it is only necessary to disassemble the base
  • Locate Pin 1 on the chip by looking for a dimple in one corner
  • Stick the chip to the GBA board using double-sided tape first so it won't move around while soldering
  • Cut off excess wire length
  • Use low-wattage, fine-tipped soldering iron
  • Use flux or rosin-core solder
  • Don't hold the iron on the chip pins too long as you could damage the chip
  • Don't hold the iron on the GBA board too long as you may lift the solder pad
  • Make sure wires don't cross white areas, screw holes, or tall components
  • If alternate button assignments are desired, see button signal list for available connection points
