    Default 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.

    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.

    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.
