if you get to find those, please let me know where to buy it too cause i need to do this mod before a looong travel im making to Egipt, and the flight will least 23 HOURS (with 3 scales betwen), so i want to clear Pokemon Ruby and Emerald during the flight with a decent screen haha

And I don't think you know what you are talking about. (See how being rude works both ways and is just as easy).

The white/blue ffc cable is an extension. That much is obvious. Then it has a zif connector on the end of it. So where is all this re-routing taking place?

If you go to the Taobao store that the guy links to in his video description and look at some of his pics you'll see that he does have some extra wires going somewhere:

look on that page and click the little thumbnail pics under the main image to see what I'm talking about. I'd love to know exactly how to do this for both models of the original GBA. The one with the 40 pin connector and the one with the 32 pin connector.

Those are just power for the back light. It's just an ffc with a special zif connector and then you connect power for the back light.

For the 40 pin it looks like you need maybe power and ground, but for the 32 pin only power.

Now why does he sell an external battery pak with them also ?????

And why in the video are there no extra wires ????

Yep looks like you're right. Looks like he's got just a single wire going somewhere here:



To bad the photo's are crap and you can't see exactly what he's doing...

It's more about how clever you are to make something work, rather than how well you follow instructions.

Yea in your pic Ash and in this one :



You can see he just attached a wire to the last pin on the ffc. Must be for power. Easy way to check is put a meter on the last pin on the GbaSp screen and see if it is 3.7v or thereabouts.

well, i guess someone here should try to do the mod and then show off the results. it doesnt seem comlpex at all, just the adapter and the wire for the light (maybe im talking nosense since i just mod with instructables, otherwise im a total zero haha)

I think it will be well under 3.7v
the GBA runs from 2 to 3V on 2 AA's
and in the 2nd vid he is running on 2 AA's and the screen was vary well lit.

The Gba Sp runs off a 3.7v battery. So when using an SP backlit screen it could be as high as 3.7v.

Yes you can run most 3.7v electronics at around 3v, but I was pointing out the most likely voltage a Gba Sp screen would run at hooked to a Gba Sp.
