Hi Guys, I have been a watcher of these forums for quite a while now, I thought I would contribute my video tutorial anyway.

The idea was to show every step of the installation without any skipping any parts.

A lot of the steps would be relevant for the installation of other backlights, you would just need to trim the plastic frame first.

Because this video is really long and documents every second of me adding a backlight, I have added a timeline underneath the video, so if you want to skip past parts or concentrate on a particular part, you can without watching it all.

Timeline:-
00:00 - Introduction and Equipment List
02:55 - Disassembly - Opening up Gameboy
07:45 - Disassembly - Removal of Front PCB
10:56 - Replacing Speaker
11:53 - Removing Reflective Film from LCD
17:00 - Preperation and Installing Panel
33:03 - Inserting Polarisation Film
37:33 - Reassembly

Anyway I hope some of you guys find it useful

Thanks
Shaun

45 minutes is a bit of a stretch.

Sold the headphones so I could have friends again.

You're telling me, it took 11 hours for it to upload to Youtube.

There are well over 50 Tutorials on Youtube on how to do backlight a Gameboy but I still felt a lot of them just skipped over the whole process.

The idea behind this is the same as a Cooking show on TV, so you can do it along with me.

Thanks

What codecs are you using to export it as?

Better question, is your internet speed anything to shake a stick at?

No I just have normal internet, its about 5.0Mbps, it suits me most of the time so don't have any urge to upgrade it lol.

Are you compressing the video in H.264 after editing the video?
