Getting Started

Required Tools:

Take Inventory

Ensure you have all the included parts with the kit. See below:

  • IPS Backlit Screen

  • IPS Control PCB

  • 3M Adhesive

  • Two Ribbon Cables (one 32 pin, one 40 pin)

  • Centering Spacers

  • Five Pretinned Wires

  • Link port to A/V Cable

Before you proceed...

This kit requires the removal of the EM3 resistor located right under the link port. Please be advised that this will not allow you to use the link port as originally intended after this mod.

Installing your IPS kit, bending the ribbon cables, soldering, or applying any adhesives in this kit will void the warranty and return policy. Fully test your kit before proceeding.

Install Guide

To begin installing this kit, we will first remove the EM3 resistor from right below the link port. This will allow the video to be output through the link port.

Next we will solder the three wires for the normal brightness control

Now we will solder the last two points for the A/V out.

Once soldered, preform one more test to ensure all the buttons work to adjust brightness.

Start/Select Area Trim

If you are NOT using an IPS-Modified shell, you will need to further trim your shell. Please visit this shell trimming guide before continuing with the Start/Select area trim.

We are continually updating and adding guides to this section. For assistance, reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com

Even with pre-cut shells, we recommend carefully examining the Start/Select area and trimming as needed. The PCB extends out past the IPS display by a milimeter or less, it can slightly vary.

See the diagram below for an example of how much you'll need to trim.

Ensure the screen is fitted into the bottom right hand side of the screen window. We recommend placing the touch sensors in these areas to allow for easy access.

This shell was premodified slightly, hence the spacer.

Test and Reassemble

Ensure all the buttons are working, and that the TV out function works

Now press select and both shoulder buttons for five seconds to switch to TV mode

If everything is functioning as expected, go ahead and complete the reassembly by replacing the rear screws. See our disassembly guide if you need further assistance here.

Troubleshooting

  • If your AV cable is not working, this may be due to a cable mix-up from the supplier. This can be resolved by swapping the pin soldered for AV out. Instead of soldering "AV" on the PCB to Pin 1, solder it to Pin 3.
