View Full Version : Need a new screen for my GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP

So, is there a preferred place to buy one of these? My screen has a Gorbachev-sized black spot on the screen so I'm hoping to replace it myself cheaper than just buying a replacement at Gamestop. I recently bought new Nintendo DS screens and other items from dealextreme.com but they don't seem to have them for the GBASP. Google takes me to a couple of places, with the screens costing $20-$30 and I'm hoping there's a cheapo place somewhere that I haven't found yet.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Replacement screens shouldn't cost more than $10, shipped. Here is an eBay seller that sells GBA SP screens for <$5:

If someone is offering screens for $30 maybe they meant to put "display" instead of "screen" in the item description.

That's just a lens, I think Deadman is asking about a new LCD panel.

Hey, just a heads up, GBA SP is a ***** to operate on.

Oh, so he wants the display then...sorry about that. Yeah, GBA SP LCDs seem to always be over $35 wherever I find them. The lowest I've seen them was for $22 + $10 shipping from some Hong Kong online store. Good Goods or something like that.
I think you might be better off grabbing an sp off of craigslist or maybe ebay

Sorry about the confusion, guys, but yeah, the LCD is broken. I found one on ebay for relatively cheap, offering $6.99 and getting a counteroffer of $7.99 which I accepted.
