Try timing a set of some fresh alkaline. Rechargeable batt cells degrade somewhat with each charge. I want the screen + the Lith-ion. Going to have to save for it though.

Yeah I am gonna time it with some regular alkalines and see what happens. I would imagine I'd get twice the time out of them, I hope.
Problem with rechargeables also, they don't give the system the proper juice it needs. Each AA is 1.25 V instead of 1.5V.
Voltage isn't the big deal as far as longevity... It's the amperage.
Voltage is like mph, amperage is like the gas tank. That's why the volts are slightly reduced, to extend run time on a small tank. At least, that's how I'd analogize it, excluding resistance factors. The analog I was told (including resistance) involved plumbing. I'm no plumber, but I do drive a car.

What was that? Didn't quite understand what you were saying.
Squeezed some more life out of it, I think my batteries may just be on their last legs, I did buy these a good 3 or 4 years ago, and have used them numerous times. I am currently trying to "re-learn" them.
I am now finally getting used to the screen, I don't even want to imagine what it was like before. I think it's about as nice as a DS screen, probably the phat DS, not quite as bright as the DS Lite, but definetely bright enough.
Paraphrased/Translation: They threw away two Nomads with broken LCDs before they knew about screen replacement/improvement. Now they're blowing chow-chow and wish they hadn't.

Quick questions:
What's the resolutions of the old / new LCDs? I hadn't thought about it before, but apparently the TurboExpress screen shows fewer pixels than the system has internally (fewer than the PC-LT for instance), so that matters. It makes me wonder if even higher-resolution screens aren't possible for even better display.
There appears to be more playfield visible at the top and right of the screen.
How much did it cost?
Now maybe you'll hang onto old stuff before trashing it...they don't make these anymore.
In any case, thanks for making mine slightly more valuable!
Besides, didn't the TV output still work? Dumb, dumb.

yeh but i did keep some bits and bobs like the buttons and and the mainboard
where the carts go in one did not power on i did try the 7805 reg
i powered up but not for long i am looking now for some faulty on ebay
i did buy 10 consoles once fix about 8 of of the 10 so then i made my money back

No comment.
Back on topic: Also, were those screens taken at the very beginning of the game, without touching the control pad? I just noticed that there is actually a bit more space visible on the left of the playfield on the original screen than there is now. Overall it's obviously an improvement.
Now now, be nice. The mod cost $65 dollars, you ship to jonjandran, he ships it back. Quite fast I might add!!Quick questions:
