I’d honestly be worried about killing a system doing this since I already broke one when originally documenting the mod. If you’re still interested in this please email me using my contact form and we can talk about it!

Or have me provide you all of the necessary things and pay you for the service? I tried to do the mod myself, but I always fuck it up, as soldering I’m not really good at… I could compensate you good for the work, I just want to have one without having to worry about effing another system up.

I don’t know how the heck to solder wires to the pins without bridging, you must’ve used a magnifying glass or something surely?

Sorry for taking so long to reply D:

I don’t think the dimensions of the GBA front light will fit the wonderswan well. It’s a really wide display. I do know the GBA front light kit works really well for a Neo Geo Pocket.

do you think something like this would work? same principle i’d assume, but i’m not super familiar with frontlight modding or electronics in general really. thanks!

Sorry for taking so long to reply! I just used regular double sided tape, it seems to be doing just fine.

Sure thing. You’ll basically just need to solder to the pins specified. So GND goes to either pin 1 or 48 (just choose one) and VCC goes to 23 or 24 (again, just choose one!). If that isn’t clear let me know and I can see what I can help you out with 😀

Since I didn’t use a GBA screen I can’t be of a TON of help, but I think either of those should work. You’re only taking the front light overlay out of the screen, so the pinout doesn’t matter. What matters is wiring to VCC and GND!
