    Default Replacing Gameboy Advance Screen Cover

    I google searched, youtube searched, and did a search on this forum, but found nothing about replacing the screen cover on the original Game Boy Advance. So hopefully this hasn't been asked recently...

    I have a replacement screen cover that I got cheaply off eBay, but didn't realize I would need a special tool to remove the old cover (dumb, I know). I just want to know what this tool looks like, so I can try and approximate it's function with something I have laying around. If that's not possible, I'll bite the bullet and try to buy one of these tools, but I'd rather keep this as cheap as possible.

    Anybody done this fix before? Little help, here?

    I just use a knife with a nice point and pry it off. Make sure you take your time and go nice and easy. They are just stuck on with sticky tape. Should be a two minute job.

    Also, you usually can see if the old screen has a bigger crack(space) on one side and start prying there.

    Many thanks to you, friend. This is what I suspected, but I wanted to get a little reassurance before I went to town on my screen. Here we go!
