I've written a guide for @Nintendo Life to explain the process for replacing your frontlit AGS-001 screen in a Game Boy Advance SP with one of the new, larger backlit IPS screens available specifically for this console. The finished article can be found here:

While I was writing the guide, I made this video as a companion piece to the article, so join me as I attempt to explain how to make a huge improvement to the display on this awesome little console.
