Fixing and UPGRADING the Cheapest "Junk" GBA on Ebay (Funnyplaying IPS 3.0 Kit Tutorial)

A $25 GBA on eBay? I couldn't resist giving it a shot! Can I refurbish it and transform it into the GBA I've always wanted? It was a bit of a gamble, not knowing if it would pay off, but I'm very happy with the outcome (mostly)! Have you had the chance to try the FunnyPlaying GBA IPS Kit, and if so, what are your thoughts on it? Beginning my modding journey, can someone like me with very little soldering experience install one of these?
