I think eBay +1'd me.
sLpFhaWK:
So I wanted an AGS-101 screen for my regular gameboy advance. Wiggy was sold out of them at the time and they were sold out for a while (atleast a couple weeks when I was actively seeking) so I turned to eBay and bought one from someone in China.. The price was 45 shipped with 2 shells and the screen with pin adapter. Well it works, but it definitely is not nearly as bright as it should be and I am pretty pissed off about it. Took over a month to get here, and now this.
Here is a side by side pic with my AGS-001 SP with the Modded Advance with the supposed AGS-101 screen.. Did I get bamboozled? Picture was taken on my Note 3 in the dark with the SP on the left.

1. Is your GBA a 32 or 40 pin model?
2. It won't ever be as bright. Just the nature of the mod.
sLpFhaWK:
It's 32 pin. I soldered a wire on the ribbon and it made it brighter, so that makes it better for me. but the screen still looks weird.
IronPatriotTN:
Might be a silly question, but why not buy a model 101 with that $45 instead of modding an older one?
McFlynn:
The original GBA is just so much more comfortable (for me, anyway.) Especially for anything that uses the shoulder buttons a lot. I really started enjoying my GBA games much more once I got my Wiggy modified one.
