I'm getting used to the destructive aspect of hardware mods, but I still have a hangup about cutting out part of the original hardware if I don't have to.

why? it's the easiest part of putting in a backlight.

I'm glad I read this first, thanks for sharing your experiences.

I'd switch to EL forever, but my ears are really sensitive to the hum. hmm

and, the speaker doesn't matter which was you solder it back.

I've found that all theses panels technically fit but they are always raised up at the bottom causing pressure when tightening up the board.

But I'm not 100% possitive on that. And I currently don't have a gameboy popped open that I can take a look at and test anything on. Just try one way and if it doesn't work just swap the wires. You can do that in about 3 minutes. There's also no need to put the game boy back together to test this...just slide the ribbon cable from the top pcb into its slot on the back pcb and turn the gameboy on with volume turned all the way up. If you hear the classic Nintendo "Paling" sound pure good. If not..swap the wires. If that fails then something is wrong with the speaker or a trace on the board. It's known to happen...just get used to headphones for awhile. Or try to get a spare speaker of someone. Which lots of people have them. Or try to mod in a gameboy color speaker..which is possible.

The last thing I have to do is solder the speaker back on, as it was broken off on this DMG. Is there a way to tell which way is positive and negative?
