Yep, a quick google turns up a few places.  Not much cheaper than a decent used GBA, though.

That's a good price.  What do you expect to get a real LCD for?

Yep, you could, with a beaten up and/or wearing out LCD.

While we're on the subject of GBA SP screens...  I have a Classic NES GBA SP like the one seen HERE and it has the older, crappier, back-lit screen that shines up from the bottom of the screen and doesn't do a very good job.

Does anyone know if the "new and improved" back-lit screens can be swapped into an SP that came with the less than desirable one that I find myself with?

Lemme say it again

I didn't even know there was more than one screen version in the SP.

Here's some info on it:

http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/652/652641p1.html

I can attest to what the pictures are clearly showing as my GF has the New & Improved screen and next to that the older version looks almost as bad as the original gameboy with one of those after-market bendy lights!

I can get them for much cheaper than those.

Pretty much any repair item for consoles, I can get for you guys.  Always check with me first :)

And so what can you get that screen for...?  I have a PC Engine GT that needs a replacement screen.

GBA SP replacement screen would be $23 plus shipping.

Sorry, no leads on the PC Engine GT screen.

Thanks, when I get to that project, I'll let you know.  I wouldn't even try to source a GT LCD.  It would be the same as a TurboExpress, but even that would be next to impossible.  I'm probably going to put in a different LCD, like from the SP or a small TV, when I get to it.

Do you happen to know the answer to my question in reply #6?  I am only assuming that since you have a source for the screens you've done some repairs before...

Unfortunately I don't know that answer.  I have a NES model also that I would love to have a nicer screen on.  I can't stand my SP screen, and only keep it because of the NES theme it has.

My DS gets all the play anyhow :)
