This is the fixed version of the same kit I did here: https://youtu.be/GARDelCYnEs

In this video, I am walking through the entire process of reshelling my Game Boy and installing one of these new DMG IPS kits. This kit is very similar to the one that @The Chinese Guy reviewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCn2B4WRJRM

The manufacturer of the kit I am working with right now is the same manufacturer as the "one chip" GBA IPS kits and the AIO GBC/MGB transflective kits that do not drop frames. The manufacturer of the kit TCG reviewed is the same manufacturer working with funnyplaying currently for their version of the kit (which should also be out "soon"). 

I also made a video on how to fix the gray palette issues but that only applies to the v1 kits. The color palettes are already fixed with this kit. The initial batch of v2 kits do not have any visual differences to distinguish them from v1 kits but eventually the new kits will be identified by a different color PCB and markings on the silkscreen. 

This kit was provided to me for free by Retro Game Repair Shop but this video was not paid for. These are my own opinions. 

If you're curious about the repairs I had to do to my kit, I did end up making another video and uploading it: https://youtu.be/6OVGYel3QxA

tl;dw: The kit is surprisingly easy to install compared to previous IPS kits and works amazingly well so far. I highly recommend one if you are into DMGs. Battery life is estimated 50-75% stock, depending on brightness.
