This is a customizable order form for the Game Boy Advance and the various services offered. Please note that all costs listed are for service only, requiring you to ship not only the console but the mod/upgrade parts you have purchased yourself (with exception to the Full Recap Service as I will provide new capacitors from Console5)
HispeedIDO IPS Screen Install
While the later GBA SP comes with a nice backlit screen, the same cannot be said for the original model GBA. That said, many people (myself included) find the original GBA ergonomics to be vastly more comfortable, so modding one with a better screen while retaining its form factor is a popular choice. There are many screen options out there but a lot of the newer ones are really designed to be used with aftermarket shells and can require extensive OEM shell trimming or fitment issues. The below definitely pairs well with an oem shell. If you wish to choose a different screen and pair it with an aftermarket shell you can still select this service, i wouldnt charge any extra to swap all internals over to the new shell. Just be aware if you choose a screen that does not pair with OEM shell I might have to send back, or charge extra for extensive trimming
The FunnyPlaying Q5 IPS LCD kit can be purchased from the following websites:
HispeedIDO V2 IPS – HandHeld Legend

Full Recap Service
Electrolytic Capacitors have an estimated shelf life of about 15 years and many of these old retro gaming systems are long past that time. Prevent unwanted power, video or audio issues by proactively replacing these in your GBA system. If your GBA is already exhibiting issues a failed capacitor could be the culprit and is usually a good first step in the diagnosis and repair. All capacitors will be replaced on the system motherboard with a cap kit from Console5 which I will provide for this service, included in the cost
Full Service Cleaning
After years of heavy use many handhelds will exhibit accumulation of dirt, dust and debris and this can not only impact the aesthetic appearance of the system but dirty system components can impact component life and performance. Your console will be completely disassembled and cleaned from the inside out. All PCB and internal electrical components will have dust and debris removed via an electronic air compressor and then be cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and brushed clean. Outer shell and other non-electronic components will be taken apart and soaked in a soap/water mixture and carefully scrubbed to remove stains and debris buildup. Any light markings, scuffs or other blemishes will be safely removed to the best of my ability. Once the console is re-assembled the outer shell will be given a coat of plastic UV protectant to restore shine and prevent UV damage. Depending on the handheld system I will do my best to buff out light scratches on the screen/panel as well
