  • For me: I want to do a shell swap, upgrade the SSD, and change out the buttons and thumb sticks. I may as well upgrade the screen at the same time. I was initially looking at the deck HD screen, but that mod seems to be in a really bad place since they shut down their email servers, and customer support is non-existent even on their discord server. Then I saw this and decided that it was worth the $40 more than it would be to buy just a replacement screen from iFixit. I have pressure damage on my LCD screen and I want to keep this particular piece of machinery as long as possible.






  • it’s the same workflow as a shell swap so the two upgrades can easily go hand in hand.

    That’s exactly what I’m planning on doing, if it gets funded. I was going to go with the DeckHD screen, but they’ve been having issues for months and it’s turned me off from it - bad customer service, simply not shipping product purchased, forcing their customers to do a charge back for a refund because they’ve ghosted their user base.

    If it doesn’t get funded, I’ll be buying a replacement screen from ifixit. My deck screen has some discoloration from pressure being applied to the screen at some point.
