GBA:Innovation GBA TV Converter Installation Guide


 * Original TV Installation**

This page describes how to install the Innovation Game Boy Advance TV-out adapter into your Game Boy Advance system.

Instructions

 * 1) Open your GBA and determine if the LCD video cable is 32 or 40 pin (image labelled 'T' for the tri-wing screws and 'P' for Philips): [[File:GBAPage04.jpg]] [[File:GBAPage05.jpg]]
 * 2) If it's a 40-pin, you can just buy the TV kit and use the adapter cable it comes with. If your GBA is a 32-pin model, you will need to buy the separate adapter kit (search Google, Amazon and eBay for the adapter cable), in addition to the TV kit:  [[File:GBAPage06.jpg]]
 * 3) Line up the ribbon connector -- the stock ribbon cable for 40-pin installs one way, but the adapter cable kit has a slot for both. Be sure that you use slot 1 for the 32-pin connector.  [[File:GBAPage07.jpg]]
 * 4) Push the connector on so it’s a tight connection. Make sure the ribbon cable is run along the side of the cartridge input. [[File:GBAPage08.jpg]]
 * 5) Reassemble the case using the new rear cover that comes with the kit, and test it with your TV.

If it's not working correctly, check the ribbon connector's connection. Now that the adapter is installed, RGB output can be achieved, or the direct-solder method can be used for higher quality output.
