I've botched this mod twice now, so I'm throwing in the towel. I'm looking for a backlit Pocket, preferably a white LED, doesn't matter what color the actual gameboy is. Nothing too tricked out, I don't want to pay over the top for this.

Are you looking to make your way into the GB-modder's crowd? I am looking for way out; or "up and out" to be more honest. I see gameboy modding to be more of a mechanic's job whereas I am the engineering type. I will not be leaving the chip community, but I am much more interested in "creation" rather than "supplementing."

I have long considered selling off my massive collection of gameboys, screws, drivers, backlights, etc.

I been around the GB-modding crowd for a while, but most of my work is with friends-of-friends, local kind of thing. Maybe later on I could scale up, but I don't really have the cash for that.

He probably has a tri-wing screwdriver, he's asking about the screws themselves.
If you brought one of the screws to a local hardware store I'm sure they'd be able to find the same size in a Phillips.

Yeah, I'm talking about the screws not the screwdriver. And I've gone to a couple hardware places none of them really carry anything that small.

I do restorations and moding with mostly DMG-GBC and basically I'm running out of screws. Does anyone know of a site that sells a 'gameboy' screw and anything that works similarly? A related question is these tri-tipped screws are a pain to deal with, does anyone know a normal Phillips I could replace them with?
