Do you have an idea of a price point, or will that not be revealed until your ready to sell them?

Are you planning on making these cases smooth? I just bought a clear dmg and hated the lack of texture!
Looks awesome though!

Ohhh I would love a gray pocket, if only it had a cyan backlight.

AFAIK inverted polarizers don't work well with reflected light, and if you're modding a DMG LCD, you've already committed to using backlight all the time, as you have to remove the mirror film along with the existing polarizing film. Since Nintendo planned not to use backlights, they used the best thing for a reflective LCD, which is a "positive" LCD polarizer.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was asking. I've seen DMGs with switched backlights, and I was wondering if the screen would be worse than a normal one with the backlight off.

Re: Best color for an LED backlight (28 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I am also new and have a couple questions on this topic, maybe someone here can answer them?
Can someone describe to me fundamentally how biverting is preferable? If you invert the screen twice, what is different about the biverted configuration, wouldn't it be back to normal? How is the physical inversion (rotating the polarizer) different from an electronic one(Patched LSDJ or an IC)?I know it is supposed to give better contrast, but does the effect only work with a backlight, how does biverting affect performance if the backlight was off?
Is a biverted gameboy harder to see using only reflected light? That question is more about if this makes the screen look better, and would have cost Nintendo nothing why didn't they design the screens this way, is there any downside to inverting the screen twice?
I've seen it compared to a gameboy pocket screen, my pocket side by side with a DMG has much "blacker" pixels, does a biversion achieve this on a DMG?

Pm me your address, I'll mail you the rubber d-pad and a/b button contacts. As for the screen, you can try slowly sweeping the bottom ribbon cable with a soldering iron for the vertical lines, but the horizontal lines usually can't be fixed.
You'd probably just have to buy another dmg, as individual screens aren't available to my knowing.
Awesome! YGPM
Yeah I read the dmg troubleshooting guide and I don't think I was aggressive enough, so I'll try again with a soldering iron after removing the rubber spacer.

I'm also interested in the power pack.
What color is the backlight on the dmg? What do you mean failed, does it even run anymore? Any dead lines on the screen?

Topic: New here. Hello and NES button rubber question (8 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hi, I've picked up a DMG off ebay as my hands have outgrown my pocket since it was new. When it arrived despite being listed as "working fine" it has 2 horizontal lines dead and about 10 vertical. UGH I can play tetris on it fine, as long as I don't care to see my score, and that's all I'll be doing on it until I can find a new screen(which I haven't been able to locate without a DMG attached to it.) Anyway, I was taking it apart to try and fix the heat seal on the bottom of the lcd with a hair dryer (no luck) when I noticed one of the springs on the rubber that supports the D pad is torn. kitsch bent sells start and select buttons, but I haven't found springs for the dpad or a b buttons. I've noticed that the plastic buttons from a nes controller will fit in a DMG, is the rubber also identical?
