What screen are you using? Once I get my hands on another cracked DS lite LCD or something I'll be doing it on video.

DS lite bottom screen replacement off of DX. It hasn't been out of its package yet, as I accidentally ordered two.

Take it apart, and gently remove the metal border on the front. There should be tabs along the sides. Then, do the same with the bottom. The very frontmost part, the actual LCD, should be removed and saved or discarded. There is a small ribbon from the back of the backlight to the LCD itself, desolder that. Then, you have a backlight.

Ok, I haven't opened mine up yet, but I've opened plenty of SP screens. Will it have 4 SMT LEDs on it?

No, but Palmer has a clear one too.

Eurddrue, it depends. If your SP has two levels, on and off, for the backlight, then no. If your SP is the new version with multiple levels, then yes that will work.

Sweet! And it runs off of 3.3v? When I tried that on it, it didn't work. And I understood enough to know a frontlight from a backlight :P

Nope, that's right.

You're such a silly.

But no, really, Palmer's right.
One in the PSP requires over 20 ;)
