Re: Removing front DMG logo, button labels, etc. (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You can use a Magic eraser and water to remove the text. This won't leave any abrasive marks or scratches. Only works on clear DMGs because of different finish.
Replacing it is difficult. For a stencil, you'd probably want an adhesive vinyl stencil, but the text is far too small for this method. Alternatively you can have a laser cut stencil made, which for obvious reasons won't look as good as an adhesive stencil.

Re: LSDJ Keyboard Help Please (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
DMG 04s don't have the 5v pin connected, and they have less redundant wires than most third party cables. So you have to sacrifice the ground pin to get the 5v. Kitsch, you may be confusing them with genuine gameboy color link cables, which I believe have the 5v pin connected.
I recommend you guys use a multimeter and the continuity setting to do this mod. You can't go by the wire insulation color because they're very rarely ever consistent. If you don't have a multimeter, you can make a DIY continuity tester with a battery and an LED, just don't use it for other applications.

Re: lcd screen black! HELP! (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You can get the exact same symptoms from damage to the ribbon cable that connects the two boards. This happens all the time.
I've never used denatured alcohol, but rubbing alcohol evaporates within seconds, and you'd have to try very hard to short something out. However, if you short out the 18v for the LCD then you could surely do some damage.

Re: GameBoy-DMG communicates with an SD card (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Would this work with LSDJ? I don't know if the mapper is supported.
No, he mentioned it only supports MBC1. So a lot of games won't work. Also only supports 8kb ram and LSDj needs 128kb.
Still is a totally awesome mod.

Re: Multiple Pro Sound mods (14 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
I've always done the mod using the original headphone jack. This is how it's wired:

The thing is, I'm able to use headphones with it. Is this normal? Maybe I'm missing something somewhere? Does this version of the internal prosound mod actually work?
It'll work yes, but your left and right channels will be reversed because that diagram isn't correct.

Re: DMG with replaced SGB CPU - SALE!!! (20 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Also I do this PROPERLY with heated air. Not some clumsy soldering iron.
You're talking about removal of the CPU in this case, right?

Re: HELP!! backlight fail!! (19 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
It's much more likely you did something wrong in the capacitor replacement. Since most of the caps are mounted with thru hole plated pads, you may have ripped out some traces. I'd do some continuity testing.
But first, the obvious course of action would be to just remove the backlight and see if it works. There's no reason it would cause power consumption problems. The resistors are built in, so it's a foolproof installation. Also check if the blotchiness is in the panel itself or the LCD.

The panel may be broken then. Or else there's moisture underneath the layers.
