Need some DMG screens (not the protective cover)! Perhaps you've got a Game Boy lying around that's broken in some other way? I'd rather not cannibalize from a working one.

Kitsch is working on making replacement screens with built-in backlights, but god only knows when they may become available.

WHAT?! 
Is he manufacturing new screens or is he just finding working ones and selling them backlight ready?

This topic will answer all of the new LCD questions you have, except for "when will this be available?"

manufacturing new screens... and the wait isn't as long as you'd think!
i was pretty premature before in saying they'd be done soon though, i didn't realize it then but i get a little excited about things and overlook how long it takes time to pass. but, now, really. soon. samples will be red, green, blue and white.
actually, the LCD tech stuff is completed, the holdup is over <0.5mm in the plastic guard holding it into place (i'm adopting the same mounting mechanism as nintendo basically). its funny how things work like that...

Once these are made I'll have five back pcbs I can actually use! I'm super excited about this!

Yes, that will save so many Game Boys from closets and landfills. Do you have a price yet Kitsch?
Still I'd rather not wait at all, so if anyone has any...

I've got exactly one left but I'm definitely keeping that until your screens come in stock.
You should sell KitschBoys, y'know?

I suppose that you're not planning on making screens with EL-backlighting?
Good question!
