How to access and replace the black and white LCD screen in your original Game Boy. This is an advanced repair. You'll need to know how to solder to complete this repair, so be sure to check out iFixit's soldering technique guide.
Note: If your Game Boy’s display has the classic “vertical lines” problem, it’s actually easier to fix the old screen than to replace it with a new one. Follow this guide for help repairing the old screen.

What kind of lcd screen or where can I find one that isn't off of another dmg-01 gameboy?
I was wondering the same. Maybe ebay or Amazon.
What about the new display? Where to get it?
No spare part necessary should be replaced with a link where to buy a new one.
You can’t buy a new replacement screen unfortunately. Not only is it very difficult to remove the screen, it’s impossible to buy a replacement. They’d be better showing us how to fix a screen. There’s plenty of videos on YT showing how to fix blank vertical line but hardly any on how to fix horizontal lines, and the ones that do don’t work very well.
Where do I buy a replacement screen for a 1989 game boy?
i suggest maybe going on ebay and finding a gameboy thats either just for parts or has a working screen and desoldering it
I tried following the video and ended up with burned tabs and melted plastic. Basically it’s all ruined. OP does a terrible job.
will this guide work to install a backlit LCD for the Game Boy? I have this Rips v4 backlit IPS LCD, and I figured I might as well install it.
if not, that's alright. I'll just find another guide.
AFAIK you can follow through the disassembly guide up to step 10 no problem, then it depends if you bought the full kit you simply swap the old screen and big PCB with the new ones; if you're planning to use the original GB case, notice you'll have to do some mods in order to fit in the new screen. Also, you might have to solder the speaker on the PCB. Here's a video you may want to check out when you're done disassembling the GB and will be ready to start installing the screen upgrade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMIJTbPe...
