[QUOTE="Stephen Cooper, post: 6700837, member: 401402"] Hi all Just signed up to say thanks for all this info and to ask a question. I had already done this mod before finding this forum and about the AGS001 adaptor cable. The mod i did involved taking the frontlight out directly and mounting that in the GBA. Using a 47ohm resistor and find a 5v power source. Which all went well, soldered to the point in the below image (Green line, thanks to the person who posted it originally). [IMG]http://img.techpowerup.org/160923/2323361c3b1d6280cc0c6f046c589144o.jpg[/IMG] After a couple of weeks the power LED started blinking red when i still had good batteries and seemed to tie in with when i was flexing the case. Then it went to fully red and started blinking, then the console started restarting. So i took it apart and found out i had trapped the cable right next to that solder point and slightly removed the insulation from the PCB. So that solder point is a no go, knowing my luck ill create a short the moment the solder flows. So i went on the hunt for a new solder point, leading me here. First i tried the point in the below picture (from another how to), but that caused the console to shut off as soon as i turned it on. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fbneejO.jpg[/IMG] Finally i tried the C56 point (mentioned in this thread) and it seems better, the light flickers red on the odd occasion but that could genuinely be dying batteries, however after whats happened im not convinced. On all other occasions when i remove the frontlight power the console functions fine, its the 40pin model. So i guess im asking people with greater electronics knowledge than me what could cause the LED to flicker like that and the console restart? I've checked all my soldering on the front light itself and the wiring and its sound. Could running it from the C56 point with a 47ohm resistor on the light cause adverse damage to the GBA? What actually is it that i soldered my wire onto and what is the function of the circuit ive tapped into? Id appreciate any insights, thanks for reading my essay! PS: not too sure how active this thread is, hope i haven't just necro'd an old thread. [/QUOTE]
