Damn, maybe I'll just keep the pocket as is and sniff out a DMG then.
My hands are useless at being still so I'd have like a 90% chance of ruining it further. tongue

Thanks all.

So far I'm 1 for 3 when it comes to backlighting game boy pockets. The two I broke get a bunch of those dead pixels in the middle. I can prop up the ribbon cable and the dead pixels go away for a little bit but they eventually come back. Also on those two the battery life shortened quite a bit. I've backlit a DMG and it went just fine but the pockets seem to get the best of me lol. Good luck!

Shit sad
So I guess it's not worth attempting to backlight it then?

I've read that there is a high rate of failure attempting it.

Hi!
You guys know way more about this stuff than I do and a Google search didn't come up with anything related to this.

A faint repeating pattern can be seen by the menu border going all the way down the screen.
It's faintly visible between the 2 blue lines I added, the contrast is at that setting to demonstrate the problem.

With some contrast fiddling it can range between slightly annoying and not really visible, but since I want to backlight this pocket I was worried about it either being more visible or just getting worse.
What could be going on here and is it fixable?

Thanks.
