Hello there people.
(I gather this belongs in this section of the forum since this is applicable for general knowledge too, my case is concerning the Game Boy but I'm also asking just as general advice.)
So. My latest Game Boy mod was to install a small silver bat switch that can toggle the backlight.
I planned pretty meticulously for it but... in the end I ran into a little drawback.
The drawback in question is that the front PCB doesn't sit well anymore because the switch housing is a tad bit thicker than I first imagined.
But just below where it's caught is a corner of the Game Boy's front PCB which is the upper right corner (when looking into the Game Boy screen).
And I'm sorta thinking if it would be possible to safely just cut that corner out. It doesn't seem to have any wiring across that corner so it should be safe to cut it out right?
And if I'm going to do this, what is a good tool for cutting PCB, I know it's not elastic at all so actually just cutting it out with a pair of wirecutters is definitely not going to work, it will probably crack?
And if anyone thinks this is a stupid idea I won't do it, just asking for right now and future reference.
I searched around for this but didn't really come to any straight forward conclusion.
Thanks in advance.
