joeybastard Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 GRRRRRRR... I bought a screen protector/light combo for my GBA and after using it for about a week it scratched the screen when it was folded down. Some protector The scratches aren't that bad but I'd like to get rid of them anyway. I've used diluted toothpaste to take scratches out of a watch glass but I'm hesitant to try that on my GBA screen. Anybody know of something to try that's safe? Can I just buy another screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargora Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Yeah, you can buy replacement screens from Nintendo. Go to their web site and poke around. The screens seem not to be available from retail outlets, so you'll have to resign yourself to the $5.00 shipping charge. It would probably be a good idea to pick up a spare screen and a couple of battery compartment covers as well, since you're paying anyway (and those items probably won't increase the shipping amount). I've broken two battery case covers over a year's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnenhexer Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I bought a replacement screen on ebay. I thought I paid about 5 bucks plus s/h for it. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Once you get a replacement screen, go to Toys R Us and buy the screen protector that is just a thin sheet of clear plastic. It just lays on top of the original so you can't even tell there is a protector there... if it gets scratched up, you just peel it off and get another one.
