Any tips? (I broke two dmgs in a row(Yes I read the tutorial))

aw no man!
i would reccomend not following the tutorial perfectly. i had to follow a combination of tutorials and then wing some of it (as they do things in different orders) and i had to run wires in different places to make them fit.
the main part is making sure that you solder the right bits to the right bits and be careful.
what part did u have trouble with? the backlight or prosound?
Backlight, I was fairly gentle but still messed up the screen connector, I guess I should just be more careful. 
(I was just using led/plastic/foil, not a kit)

This is key. There are variations in game boys both due to changes on Nintendo's end and all the abuse many of these things have been through in the last 20+ years, plus everyone has different tools, different levels of skill, etc. Soak in as much information as you can from as many sources as you can, and be open minded to changing the process as you go. Don't follow any instructions verbatim.
I've quoted it once and I'll say it again, Hemisphere, that's a super clean mod for a first timer, and you have every right to be proud of it. 
yeh u nailed it kinetic.
i took ages at the begining trying to do everything perfectly like the tutorial said
u just need to be confident and just use ur common sense
and dont sever your chords screwing it back together
Looks awesome! I'm going to be doing a big shop at kitsch soon... Going to try the RGBva though... The one where you can change the colour of the backlight with a screwdriver! (here: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/rgbva# )
Wish me luck!
Did you get your prosound mod kit from kitsch? I couldn't find it....

You don't need a kit, just wire if you search for an internal prosound tutorial
yeah i messed up the screen connector too. just replaced the front pcb with one from a broken dmg i bought on ebay (cause it came with a working nuby). for me the problem was i was scraping the foil off the back with a razor, i didn't realize that there was that sticky layer underneath you have to take off too. once i figured that out i just held the screen in place as far as it could come out, get the edge of the sticky clear layer up, and then pulled really slowly on it with some pliers, and it worked fine.
Nice one!
My first backlit looked like this
old good times, lol
