			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>kitsch says:</i></b><p>check out the page i linked to above, there is a tutorial on this page you can check out.</p><p>if you&#039;ve never soldered before, this is actually a decent project to learn with.&nbsp; some of the caps are harder to reach than others, but all are manageable.&nbsp; if you did your backlight without getting dead lines, this should be no problem.</p><p>two things to remember when doing caps: some types are polarized (these are), meaning you can&#039;t just stick them in, but they have a + and - leg.&nbsp; so, pay attention to that.&nbsp; the other is that heat will kill your cap, so only solder as much as needed to get a nice flow.&nbsp; then back off.&nbsp; </p><p>that tutorial i think will answer your questions on its ease though, or lack of it depending on your skill level.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Kokoro says:</i></b><p>Sounds like you have the exact same problem my backlit DMG has; does the contrast fade out, only to have you fiddling with it constantly to maintain a viewable screen? As Kitsch said, it&#039;s probably failing capacitors. A quick check with the multimeter revealed that to be the case, at least for me.</p><p>You might as well just replace all the caps while you&#039;re in there. They&#039;re ancient and bound to fail eventually. Especially since all of &#039;em <a href="http://console5.com/store/kits/game-console-cap-kits/game-boy-dmg-01-cap-kit.html" target="_blank">can be had on the cheap</a>.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>kitsch says:</i></b><p>a few things jump to mind:<br />-- check batteries<br />-- you have a failed capacitor(s) (affecting contrast)<br />-- if the LEDs themselves are changing color (and its not a contrast effect), the LEDs may be burning out.&nbsp; make sure you soldered to the right places in the tutorial you are following, and if you have a multimeter check it to make sure its not too far off from 5V.<br />-- or, they may not be getting a solid 5V, and the power fades off after initial power on (again, i&#039;d say a cap problem).&nbsp; LEDs can change shade when they are dimming or when they are about to burn out (especially then).&nbsp; </p><p>i&#039;d bet you&#039;ve just got some leaky/failing caps.&nbsp; even if you&#039;ve got a DMG mint out of the box, the aluminum electrolytic caps in the DMG are expired.&nbsp; all of them are.&nbsp; whacky stuff is bound to start happening to them all without people changing out the caps, if you are visually seeing the fade away like that, caps behave in a similar manner in the way they work, so perhaps its something simple like this.</p>]]></description>
