A few weeks ago, I modded my Sega Nomad to run with LEDs instead of the tube and inverter it had before, reducing overall consumption by 450 mA! I got about 3-4 hours out of one 9V battery, a huge improvement.

I had a how-to, but I need to update it badly, so I won't be posting it here yet.

I've fixed that bright diagonal spot, too; the LEDs I used in that video were SMT ones that were poorly mounted. I've replaced them with 5mm ones now.

neat. i want to find one and go at it like triton did to his gp2x. slim. trim, add lithiums, and replace the craptastic screen.

Very nice. Tibia did this with his GameGear a while back.

I started the GG mod a while ago with a friend of mine, but stopped due to lack of skill and time. I really need to finish it.....

Tibia is one of 'the femalez.'

Lol.

The GP2X has a great screen, and is already LED backlit.

here let me rephrase that, i want to slim trim and add lithiums to a nomad like triton did to his gp2x. i would also like to replace the LCD panel with a better one.

that clear enough for you?

Meant gender-neutral "his". Heck, I call all machines and pieces of technology "her" or "she".

Don't Tibia is would me mad about me making a little mistake. If she is, she'll internet smack me for it.

Now that sounds interesting. Wonder what the battery life would be if/when you do that.
