How would I add a way to control the brightness? is it as simple as soldering in an extra chip and wire?

Rinchanlife - Responder

Hi!

No, you can’t control the brightness with this mod. But I will try to create the IPS mod guide soon (hopefully next week)! With the IPS screen mod, you can control the brightness. But… you need to solder 3 wires. One on the TP2, and the other 2 cables for R and L buttons. You need to hold select, and press R and L to increase and decrease the brightness.

The IPS screen is a different screen with a special adapter. I’ll try to create the guide soon.

Perhaps it’s possible with another adapter for controlling the brightness on the AGS-101, but I don’t have this kind of adapter.

Do the ips v2 mod and the ags 101 mod require the same amount of plastic cutting?

D.J. Haynes - Responder

Hi! No. The IPS v2 mod takes less amount plastic cutting. But it’s different (for the plastic that needs a cut) regarding the AGS-101 mod.
