Installing the "One Chip" Game Boy Advance IPS Screen Kit

A quick note: the foam I installed behind the new LCD is not required and may actually be causing my Newtonian ring issues. The LCD should stay in place without the foam but you may want to tape the ribbon down or it may rattle. 

This is different than the Funnyplaying IPS Kit: https://youtu.be/amRFG-DqP2w

but very similar in terms of install and functionality. I was provided this kit by Retro Game Repair Shop. You can pick one up here: https://retrogamerepairshop.com/products/game-boy-advance-sp-backlight-mod-kit?variant=31378079744074

TL;DW, it's a decent kit if you have one but the Funnyplaying version is still better. The framerate is more solid on that kit and the lens is actually laminated to the LCD which results in a much cleaner visual appearance.
