this is true. I have been rebuilding and repairing electronics for years, so about 6 months ago when i did my first backlight, i already had a good handle on most of the things needed. Best of luck in your endeavors!

Re: Installing the Varia Suit Mod (10 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
For your screwy problem, anything that has the same length and thread pattern should suffice. I actually just stole several out of one of my old laptop cases that miraculously fit perfectly for one of my DMG's. For the varia suit, i have two installed, both in same spot, but i didn't glue them. one has pieces of an old credit card chopped up to fit below the battery case, and the other is the same but has a AAA auto club card that expired. Plus, i thought nonfinite had a video showing a good place to mount it?

Btw i mounted mine like on the grey one a minute or so in, on the bottom
[edit]
this video shows everything you need to know for soldering the backlight in place. At 4:13 he shows you where to attach the wires, just solder one to the varia suit, then take that wire to the hot, the point that is below the contrast dial on the left side. The ground goes to the battery connector. Low profile, and easy to get the case closed in the end. and google soldering pointers/technique if you are worried about lack of experience.

Re: Tips wanted: external usb audio-interface (13 replies, posted in Audio Production)
Hi everyone, could't help but notice that no one had mentioned Lexicon for Usb audio cards. got the alpha recently, well about 6 months or so ago, for a screaming deal on amazon, and used it primarily for guitar and micing. It has a 1/4" instrument jack, and a nice dual 1/4" mono input in the back, is built like a tank, and works natively with all Asio based programs. Oh, and it has a Mic input that you can use instead of the dual 1/4" mono jacks, but i like it because one of my DMG's has a 1/4 prosound, and the other has the RCA setup, which was as simple as getting a Hosa cable with rca on one end, and 1/4 on the other. I have had a friend who recorded tonnes of stuff with the 2i2 scarlet, and it is also a great interface for most any needs. But the most important thing is to make sure you get one that utilizes the proper jacks/connections for your setup, or else it will just be one headache after another.
