Black Start/Select Replacement Silicone Pads For The Nintendo Game Boy - DMG COLOURED START/SELECT REPLACEMENT SILICONE PADS FOR THE NINTENDO GAME BOY - DMGThese are NOT origina.
this is a kit for adding an electroluminescent (el) backlight to your gameboy original dmg console.
kit includes:
el panel (~0.3mm thickness)
el_dmg pcb
polarization film
hook-up wire
features:
no hotspotting (like LED backlights)
low power consumption (5V@65mA)
extremely thin, no pressure is placed on the LCD screen after installation
easy to install; pcb/backlight uses headers for connections rather than soldering
there is a slight electric whine heard when using any el technology, including this circuit and backlight panel. the sound is similar to the level of noise produced by the gameboy light (gbl). if this type of noise is troublesome to you, LED backlights produce no electric hum.

I've purchased a backlighting kit from e-bay the other day and had a go at fitting it this evening. I followed the guide, although the kit is a little different to mine it looked similar. Everything went fine but when I turn the brick on, the screen lookes a bit smudged, runny i guess. Well, i'll show the pictures:
This is how it's wired together
This is more or less visible screen of LSDJ
Full brightness
Soldered ends
I did check everything i could. It seems to that the signal at the screen (without the film behind) is looking exactly the same as with it. So I'm thinking it's got nothing to do with backlight. I hope it's not a damadged screen ribbon, but it's looking okay.
