you should take those out, you're just adding excessive unnecessary pressure.
Yeah, I don't know what my thought process was there. I removed them last night and loosened the screws holding the board a bit--everything looks good now!
LOL. Yeah, lessons learned. It's all fun though

But this is coming from someone who just disassembled like 10 times tonight to remove single dust particles...
I recently purchased a used DMG and was surprised the previous owner included an asm backlight panel. I'm brand new to this.
I just installed it using the tutorial here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to- … e-Boy-DMG/
The bottom left of the screen is blinding as you can see by this picture. The contrast is also pretty bad and uneven: http://i.imgur.com/J7fx5jd.jpg?1
Is this just the nature of these cheap panels? Or is it a pressure thing from screwing the circuit board to the case? I'm worried I might have damaged the positive contact on the panel when soldering.

I just realized I didn't have the polarization film oriented correctly. I had it inverted:
Maybe this will help

Yep, I'm an idiot. Nothing to see here folks...
Thinking about buying an original Gameboy, and I don't have much experience with them. The seller says you have to "push the buttons a few extra times to make the game start"-- does this sound like a common problem? Apparently the cart is functional, but should I ask any specific questions?
I know this isn't a major investment, but I don't want to miss any glaring issues.
