Generally an inserted/latched incorrectly ribbon cable will do this. Take it all apart and try again pay attention to how far in you've inserted the screen ribbon into it's latch on the supplied pcb as well.

I have only installed the Funnyplaying IPS in my GBC but if the ribbon cable is inserted (close the the two latches just in case) and there are issues I would assume it is a defective screen/cable. Make sure you definitely have the ribbon cable in the right way around.

I was wondering if anybody has had trouble installing a TFT backlit LCD into their Gameboy Color? I know it should be an easy drop in, but I seem to have bad luck with this kit. The screen currently powers on but after flashing white it changes to a black screen (pictured). The black screen is still on and backlit, just not showing anything. I tried checking all of the ribbon cables but nothing worked. Any help would be great.
