Removing Afterburner from GBA

[randombs]

i didn't do too well first time round (not bad considering but i'm picky). i didn't bother sorting it out but now I got a replacement lens from eBay (proper one identical to the original, not the purple rubbish)

wondering if it's possible to remove the film from your gba screen using sticky-stuff remover or similar as i wanna do it again properly.

post or pm any advice will be greatly appreciated

thanks for looking

I peeled mine off and the screen is fine, i think i used some isopropyl alcohol to peel off. Also when removing, peel by pulling down on the film instead of pulling away from the LCD.

thanks for that tip. i'll give it a go once i've secured a replacement afterburner

Is there still a market for afterburner ?

Must admit although my GBA looked o.k. with it, the dust inside did annoy.

well i'm happy to report i cocked it up - i just wanted to swap the top lens cover (got an identical-looking replacement) and decided to have a clean. i ended up scratching the afterburner glass bit too much. although it's dust free

i did the operation in the garden coz it was a bit windy and this kept dust moving. shame, that. oh well i'll just nab another from work on wednesday
