Gameboy Mods for a Beginner! Please Help ? :D

Post by ThatWeeScottishChiel » Thu Oct 07, 2010 10:32 am

Hey Guys and Gals.

New to the Forums and Modding/Hacking. :)

I have quite a few questions seeing as I am new to this If you don't mind answering. :D
These are all for a case mod I am doing. :)

1. On the circuit board on the places where you press the buttons There are some brown pressy bits. How would I remove these? With a stanley knife?

2. Underneath the brown pressy button bits I am lead to believe there are three metal contact points. I would like to solder a separate tackswitch and microswitch to the button. Which contact points out of the three do i solder to?

3. Is it possible to remove the sliding power switch and solder a separate one to it? If so how?

4. Is it possible to solder wires from the SP speaker contacts to the circuit board contacts where it would normally touch?

I would really appreciate it if you would respond! :D

Thanks
