No, but Palmer has a clear one too.
Eurddrue, it depends. If your SP has two levels, on and off, for the backlight, then no. If your SP is the new version with multiple levels, then yes that will work.

Can you read? I pointed out in the article that there is an 18V unregulated line. This is intended to drive the LCD. The small board in the lower left converts 3V into 5V and 18V.

Yeah, it will work on a DMG, but you'll have to take your voltage from the LED.

Yay! I got this working using the Dealextreme DS lite replacement screens; you need to trim the Dang thing down quite a bit, but it works great, apart from some dimness around where the LEDs project out.

Dang. I broke another screen fiddling around with it, trying to get it better. Time to check eBay again...
