I was wondering if a 25 watt soldering iron would suffice in my gameboy modding endeavors.

Ok, just making sure.

You mean the ribbon cable that connects the PCBs?

My gameboy (DMG-01) has a lot of dead columns. Any way to get rid of those?
I see a lot of posts about dead rows, but I've been told that's a completely different problem.

a bit curious. Can an RCA prosound be installed on the same gameboy as a 1/8?

Thank you all very much!

That gives me a little insight. However, as I stated before, I am a noob, and therefore unfamiliar with the 1/8 prosound as well. Perhaps you can elaborate further?

I just ordered a few parts to mod my gameboy from Nonfinite Electronics.
a V3 Ultra backlit screen,

a Pro Sound RCA Kit,

and  replacement screen.

I have a DMG-01 model gameboy, and while I have done some research, I'm still a little lost on the modding process.

I already have a soldering iron with a 1 mm core solder, a drill, a tri-wing screwdriver, and a jeweler's Phillips head.

Perhaps someone could tell me....

1:Any additional tools I need.

2:The order in which I should install the parts,

3:Step-by-step on how to do so.

I can't afford to mess this up. I already spent almost a year saving up for the money to purchase these items.
