great small bivert chip

For Bivert PCB for Game Boy DMG

Product is great, communication was a bit slow and I had to ask if it was still going to be sent, therefore it took a long time to be delivered

Great product, Bad shipping

For Headphone jack PCB for Game Boy Advance SP

Product: 5/5
- as-is, what you see is literally what you get.
-recevied a thank-you card, the PCB with pre-soldered audio jack, a "paper template", and a random piece of acrylic 7mmx5mm. ???

Shipping: 1/5 (Horrible)
- You'd expect international shipping would not be a hard PCB in a paper "letter" envelope (yes paper, not tear-proof envelope, but PAPER),
- Could at least be shipped a plastic tear-proof shipping bag.
- By the time my "letter-package" arrived across the sea, the PCB inside almost fell out of the envelope. The rip was 1mm away from poping the PCB out.
- Buy with care as the previous reviews of it being missing in transport is true. I lucked out.

Documentation: 5/5
-Straightforward, can't be any simpler.

Communication:
-Thank you letter for support. I do appreciate small time tindie makers creating these custom PCBs.

I got nothing!

For Headphone jack PCB for Game Boy Advance SP

I received a torn envelope that said thank you for your support inside of it and the PCB wasn’t even in there! Apparently this happened to someone else in the reviews as well! I tried contacting the person but theyre not messaging me back.

Received a letter envelope with a thank you note

For Headphone jack PCB for Game Boy Advance SP

I received nothing but a flimsy, ripped letter envelope with a “thank you for your support” note inside, the headphone jack is nowhere to be found?!? This looks really fishy!

Greatly designed little bivert boards

For Bivert PCB for Game Boy DMG

Upon opening these I was initially shocked how small these are, they look so tiny when you’re used to the tradition big bivert boards. Because they’re so small you won’t have troubles closing the Game Boy shells ever again. Had no problem installing these at all, old other brand board I had to reflow the solder some times, these just worked directly. Overall I’m very happy with these and I would buy these again (and they look great in translucent shells)!

The best bivert chip for MGB out there

For Bivert PCB for Game Boy Pocket

I used to mod game boy and game boy pocket since 2015 so I passed through a plethora of bivert chip modification, from chip only to big and bulky ones. The opportunity for not passing a lot of cables through the MGB shell and pcb arrived with this amazing and tiny bivertion board, all is perfect on this module, and the installation is very simple indeed! You must cut the traces or lift the pin, this is your choice, but after that you just have to solder 6 points using Flux (very reccomended) or an hot air gun with liquid solder (simpler). The pads across the pins are chiseled for helping your solding tip to flow the solder in. You must pay attention when doing this procedure with the iron solder or you'll have to use the wick ( banned all the vacuum chamber desolderer or you risk to break the pocket's pins!!) To unbridge the pins, but after than that you can make this operation in about 5 minutes if you are used to the solder iron, less time if you use the hot air gun. I highly recommend the Hidarite bivert module for the pocket, this is a big step up on the gameboy pocket mod scene! Thank you Valentin!
