The pictures no longer work on the guide though, which may (or may not) have been what xero was getting at. The best I could find was this youtube tutorial;

It seems to be fairly in depth but I haven't fully watched it so maybe surf through it before you get to work. Good luck, I absolutely love frontlit Game Boy Colors!

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently most of the pictures do work and just weren't showing up for whatever reason, my bad.

Sick mod! For a while, I was looking at trying to add a backlight to my Gameboy Advance. That's my favorite Gameboy shape but it just drives me nuts trying to play it in crappy lighting.

I found a tut for it but I can't remember what I did with it, it was basically the same thing as this, GBA SP 001 screen and basically do a transplant. The only reason I didn't do it was because I was too lazy to go to Radio Shack to get the proper resistor for the job. -.- Not to mention the tut was a tad hard to follow. A video would have been fucking awesome. I might do this mod on my color if I can get another gameboy for the job.
