Great battery, replaced a dead one, quick shipping
If you're handy with a soldering iron and have flux and wick handy, this mod is a great modernisation to the GBASP
Pretty pricey for what it is including shipping. Fits GBA perfectly, however does not fit if put wired headphones inside the side mesh. Recommend for Aus buyers. Even though Temu or Ebay costs like 5$ but the shipping took forever
It was a quality product and was well worth it compared to the existing speaker, but also not for novice solderers
Arrived promptly and helped me get in to the majority of my retro consoles.
Great replacement for swollen and failed original battery in my GBA SP. Installed in a reshelled unit (eXtremerate) and had no issues with fitment.
Does exactly what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less. Bought it solely for the 'gamebit' head to open up GB carts. Can't go wrong at the price point, and the bits are compatible with your other driver sets.
Screen itself is great but I bought the compatible case, and the mounting bracket was the incorrect size. So the mod took longer than it should have. and ended up not using the mounting bracket.
I can play all my favorite GBA games on one single cartridge!
I accidentally ordered this when I didn't need it lol. However item is as described. Keep in mind if you are ordering an IPS display you do not need this as it already comes with the exact same glass lens.
Item is just as described, I did damage the front a little by using a screw that was too big for the hole, however that was my own fault and I can live with it.
The item does work as intended.. however the Touch screen function is very flimsy, the ribbon cable actually broke after trying to connect it just once. I inquired about a replacement and was told I wasn't eligible for one cause I didn't report it to them BEFORE installation?? The ribbon broke after trying to connect it though? My touch sensor no longer works, so I can't change brightness at all or use any settings so I've had to learn how to solder.
Love the USB C charging, it's just a bit of a shame there's no little hole in the front of the battery cover to see the charge. Only way to see if it's charging and what the charge is at is if you remove the battery cover. Other than that it's fantastic and does its job
$65 as of my purchase is a very cheap price given how expensive battery packs are nowadays and is an easy recommendation by me. Easy installation and works great, I bought a GBA IPS screen kit and purple laminated shell as well and with everything connected I feel the battery lasted all day. also doesn't take long to fully charge back up so you'll be gaming more.
Installation is pretty straightforward but I reckon it needs a little installation note like.
1) remove left side battery prongs from GBA shell.
2) install battery into GBA.
3) connect battery to USB-C module board.
4) remove cooling copper tape from bottom and install on USB-C module board.
5) put on back cover.
Great value and it's very easy to put together for a quick and easy mod, the shell is also pretty high quality too, I feel Retro gaming parts needs to take new photos because the purple GBA shell in their picture is doing a disservice to how good it looks in person. I also bought the USB-C battery mod and GBA IPS screen kit, easy installation of all mods and no soldering required (only optional for IPS screen kit but it is not required for screen kit to work). Honestly best purchase I made.
The case struggles to close if you have more then like 2 games in it
Shell is of good quality with a smooth gloss feeling texture.
Basically, no complaints on the fit and finish
Most parts included, though you still need you own shoulder buttons, power/volume slider and hinges which is standard for these kits.
Only using two different length screw is definitely a benefit.
I have an aftermarket battery from another retailer and the battery door bulges slightly, but nothing to be worried about.
I purchased the ez flash junior. Cannot get it to work with my original GBC, no matter how many solutions I've tried. Manufacturing has not gotten back to my support ticket either, so I can't really give a good review.
Hi Nathan, thank you for your review and sorry to hear you have not heard back from EZ Flash. Could you please reply here or email us via the website with some insight into your issues and we will endeavor to sort them out for you.
Thanks again.
Works as described, very happy with it.
Can't comment on how it affects battery life yet, but there are 8 brightness levels you can use to optimize for battery life and lighting conditions.
Also has a mode to turn on scan lines like the original screens, which I prefer.
Requires soldering of one wire for full functionality, but it's worth doing while the console is apart.
It has a touch sensor to bring up the OSD if you don't want to solder, but honestly I couldn't figure out where you would place it.
I got the clear shell, looks so good with the transparent green Buttons I bought on eBay. Wish these guys had options for buttons.
Had a couple troubles installing, but take your time and it'll be well worth it.
Skipped soldering button controls for screen brightness & modes, and happy to report the touch controls work great.
Many levels of brightness, incredible viewing angles and crystal clear picture.
Absolutely recommended. Thanks!
Usually not the biggest fan of clear electronics, but was super impressed with this. Feels nice and solid like an OEM shell & fits the IPS screen perfectly.
My only downside was the lack of decent instructions or references for installation, which is more of a FunnyPlaying problem than anything. I'm no newbie to console modding and had a couple of issues getting it all to fit, but got there in the end.
Patience is key!
