  • Apparently this kit was just updated to have a metal shielding attached that can be removed to access the board, but the screen is also laminated now so you can't remove the screen lens like I did. Aaaaand now they have a new listing on AliExpress with the red lens so that screen died for nothing RIP. You can grab the red lens version here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEh...

    If you are a part of the 99% who are gonna leave the screen lens alone, the installation process is the same. You just don't have to assemble the screen anymore.

    Getting tired of waiting for my buddy to get around to modding his SP. So I just ordered one of these kits for him. Affordable, simple, and will definitely be worthy upgrade for his childhood AGS-001. Now, if only it were an AGB-001, then it would be truly awesome. lol

    • @JakeSimmons
      @JakeSimmons  11 месяцев назад

      With the SP’s buttons you need to be careful. You don’t want liquid seeping into the dome switches. I recommend getting a toothbrush wet with IPA and cleaning the board that way. I would still avoid the buttons though. Also, no liquid around the screen
