So. those of you who dabble heavily on the electronics side of gameboys, exploring pin outs and functionality of the PCBs. is there any conceivable method for replacing the stock LCD with a modern backlit LCD? I've seen videos (timbob?) of video out from super gameboy to the DMG's LCD, and I believe another video showing the LCD PCB of the DMG outputting video to a MGB screen.
I know nothing of the requisites behind powering a modern LCD, or the difficulty in making the appropriate signal connections from the old old gameboy to modern LCD form factors, but It would obviously be really really cool.
So I guess I'm just curious what limitations or difficulties or impossibilities there are to this.

Console is missing side cover and has some chips on edges. Has warranty sticker intacted and the console has not been tampered with.
Edit: I'm not suggesting this can even be done. But I would like to see some enlightening discussion. Dance, monkeys!

A quick note on replacing capacitors: there are a few caps on the LCD board that require removal of the LCD module to desolder. For those caps, I would not attempt to remove the LCD module, instead I would cut the leads as close to the old capacitor body as possible and solder the replacement parts to the old legs. The LCD modules are known for developing bad connections, so you probably don't want to aggravate the LCD during the capacitor replacement process.
