GBA Modding

Post by Macintosh » Thu Feb 16, 2012 8:05 pm

I recently acquired a white GBA from a friend and thought to myself this is boring. What could I do to spiff it up but then I realize my knowledge with this kind of stuff is very thin. My plan is to take it apart (Darn tri-wing), clean it, paint it and maybe add some LEDs. Any tips/ guides? Also the battery cover is broken. The little tab that puts pressure on it to keep in place has snapped off thanks to its previous owner. Any creative fixes on that?

You should probably put a resister to prevent the LED's from burning out.
