Here is my second install.. can't really get the GB and the light clear due to shit camera.
One more thing, SAMWAVE.. and this is for Project Game Boy's kits (though I'll assume they are mostly the same), but I'd add a note to remove the protective film from both pieces.. top of the backlight only and top and bottom of the polarizing film.
Thanks for the tutorial though, it got me through this and the previous one!
I'll try to make it to the Austin show.
Where did you get the cool blue cable? Is there a pink one?
The combination above "seems" harmless, I've gotten it on my hands with no issues.
I used this tutorial to clean up my white DMG, works great.
I still think mine needs another run though because it's still not crispy white.

You can do this by just using the other points on the circuit board, the ones above. Use the "pre pot" ones instead of the post pot ones.
Images is from low-gains tutorial
You are a gentleman and a saint. 
I did not use it but I would guess it should go over the resistor cable soldered to the red wire.
Is there a benefit to using it? I would assume a small patch of electrical tape would work too.
I'm actually referring to all the stuff I have saved already.
Like I said, it's not a huge thing, but it's a strange option I'd actually make use of.

Also, I'd probably suggest removing the numerous steps/pictures outlining how to open the Game Boy. That part should be pretty self-explanatory to anybody even thinking about attempting this (or any) mod.
Are all of yas having these made at different places?
It's be nice to see them all side by side by side. 
I noted that the text on PGB's screens are *slightly* bolder than the stock ones.
Would there be a way to patch an LSDJ to make the font settings universal and not per song? OR.. would there be an easy way to just convert each song on a LSDJ ROM to a specific setting instead of loading each song, changing it and saving it again.
The reason for me right now is that I have one backlight that is standard inverted and one that is double inverted.. so the next time I setup for a show I'd like to have one cart set to GRAY and one set to INV so that both will appear with white text on black backgrounds.
I'd imagine it might be helpful to other in some strange ways.
Obviously this is a pretty minor, cosmetic request, but if it can be done..
Just wanted to chime in to say I followed this tutorial to install my screen and while it was successful, I think a few things could be clarified or at least written better. There's definitely some (a lot of) room for grammar/spelling correction as well.
First thing I would suggest is to place great emphasis on careful handling of the LCD, making sure to inform people to treat the ribbon cable connecting the screen as carefully as possible. Too strong of a pinch to the ribbon cable will ruin your screen possibly beyond repair.
I would clarify the part on removing the adhesive foil screen, there are a few layers here that can and will pick up on their own, I halfway removed just the first layer before realizing there was still something that needed to be taken off.
Now at the top left corner of your PCB there will be 3 points of where your gunna have to use you soldering iron to remove these resistors.
Make the circles on your pictures easier to see, also for this one, try a picture of the reverse side showing the two resistors you will be removing.
Once the resistors have been removed put in your resistor that came with your backlight kit through the nearest hole to the screen (if your looking at your Dmg PCB frontwards it would be the far right hole that you have just made from removing the resistors). Once the resistor has been soldered appropiatly you can snip off the legs off it that are poking out.
Probably should be to snip the LEG, not LEGS as you'll want to make sure the person following the tutorial knows that the other end will still be used.
Once done solder your RED wire of the backlight Kit to the resistor and solder you BLACK wire to the LED hole (the hole that is closes to the contrast dial).
Clarify that you are soldering the red wire to the REMAINING wire of the resistor.
ANYWAY, thanks for the write up, it was really useful.
Or you could even go a little extra step in making them unique:

I likes.
The white/orange one would look good with the dark gray button set (dunno if you bought one of the new replacement screens or you pulled that one from a PiL). I'd probably give the black/white one an NES button set.
YES, wayne1991's Dexter theme is SOOO good.
I still have season one on BLu-Ray unopened. :\
My girlfriend really like the Flight of the Concords and The Office ones.
