w00t! my GBA "afterburner" came today

http://www.tritonlabs.com

man, this thing is sweet!

took about an hour to install

only 4 contact solder points

i was gonna document an install guide and use my digi-cam, cause i figured the directions would be some cheap little scrap a paper with some diagrams hand written on it

oh hell no, they went and put 8 page pamphlet with full color diagrams!  i was highly impressed.  they even thru in a little anti-glare screen to boot.  the whole setup just reeks of quality.

i HIGHLY reccomend this procedure to anyone who hates thier GBA cause its so dark

i\'ll leave ya with one pic tho
a dissected GBA

let me know how it works
mine is on the way, but I wanna be sure its good

make sure you installed the "dimmer" or whatever its called

nah, i didnt put the dimmer on
i didnt see a point in it, i want that thing BRIGHT!

GBA only uses two batteries, so i dont care how fast it goes thru em, rechargables rock!

when you install it, the light itself is a square, flat piece of what looks like lucite.  DO NOT TOUCH IT AFTER PEELING OFF THE PROTECTIVE FILMS!  oh, and keep a compressed air can handy

"nah, i didnt put the dimmer on
i didnt see a point in it, i want that thing BRIGHT!"

Well, some people are saying its TOO bright and washes out the colors

nah, too much work for me

its backlit, im happy

Yay!  Mine came too!  It took a lot longer to remove the old (imitation, crappy), one than install the new one.  I put in the dimmer switch, too.  MM - I think you should consider going back and putting in the switch... my copy kit used a lot of batteries (it\'s light was nowhere near as good as this baby!).  Also, if you take your newly modded GBA outside or to a really well lit room... you\'ll see that this tube light works so damn well that it does fade out the colors a lot, and make the screen too bright.  The dimmer wasn\'t that hard to install, couple of extra connections, and a little hole to cut.  I\'m infinitely happier with this baby than my old one (I think, now that I examine it, it used three tiny LEDs or bulbs... and was horribly uneven.  Stupid POS).

cool, I get mine today or tomorow

BTW, MM.. how much were you charged?

*cough* *cough* MM Read *cough * cough *

10$ deposit on 3/29

Thanx mm, i\'ll try to get one of these
