Goldmine!  Thanks kitsch

I plan to learn asap, especially since I have a backlight kit to install in my DMG now.

Is really not that hard, you just keep attention to not fry anything

I tried to solder a loose connection in a Big Muff pedal a few years back with a borrowed soldering iron.  I fried a few things, (pedal and skin included, haha).  I've been scared to try again every since.  But I would really like to mod my gameboys.

My skill with soldering is basic and I was able to mod my DMG with backlight real nice. I screwed the screen a bit, but wasn't my soldering skills fault!

This was actually informative.  I don't know how to solder, and I don't know anyone who does, but I've been meaning to learn.  I think I'll give it a go.  Thanks for the inspirational link.

how cool that they lay it out like a comic book.

Anything you can learn from a comic book is worth learning.

Anything.
