Hi there guys! Looking for some help!

I am trying to install the v4 Envy Sapphire Backlight to my Gameboy DMG.

I followed the http://www.nonelectronics.com/tutorials/tutorialsmt.pdf but still haven't had success.

Result (see 2nd image) It lights up just fine sound works but I just cant see anything - screen is a black block and adjusting the contract button has
no affect. Where have I gone wrong?

Thoughts / Advice desperately required!!

May be quite a late reply, but in regards to the v4 envy, it's meant to be installed vertically (with the wires sticking out the bottom, under the brown ribbon). They solder to either side of the capacitor. The tutorial you followed is old and out-dated!

Let me know if you need help. Unless you've already succeeded / given up ;P

Out of the 6 I've purchased 2 of them had the pressure points. Look at the photos of my Fallout Boy, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I fixed it by removing the rubber strip at the base of the screen that keeps pressure on the ribbon strip.

I've had a few problems with pressure points. All of which were solved by either
a) Removing screws on the rear-side of the front PCB
b) Removing the thin sticky plastic on the inside of the front faceplate (yes, this made a huge difference surprisingly!)
c) Removing the black rubber on the brown ribbon.
