Well, finally put together my first modded GBA backlight and it looks amazing. Far, far brighter than I was expecting and I didn't have to mess about with the pot either
HOWEVER, it's not all plain sailing - my d-pad doesn't work! I will be stripping it back down to see if there is anything amiss but just thought I would post this incase anyone could throw some light on this before I go ahead with it. I am using rubber backing and d-pad which came with the original shell. Should I use the original rubber and d-pad which were in the GBA?
Cheers
Edit: So, I have been sitting here since writing the above post as to how and where I have went wrong and have come up with a possible answer. Is there any way I could have put that rubber housing back to front? i.e. with the black contacts facing the d-pad as opposed to the motherboard? I hope that is it but I am gutted I am gonna have to open it up again - took a while to get the unit fitted flushly with no gaps.
