Prolly 1.2, it is a bit more common.

Just checked, it's a 5.2.

I was about to say use a multimeter. I never bothered to learn colour codes.

Alright, so now I'm working on an internal Li-On rechargable battery instead of AAA's, as while the playtime isn't short or anything I am sick of going out and buying things to run my game boys, so I made this GBP clear-fronted and black-backed so I don't have to ruin any clear shells.

I've just done an update, it's now basically 150% the brightness it was before as I found the correct resistor to use, but the issue is that I can't figure out which end of the resistor is the front or back - it's either a 5.2KΩ or a 1.2KΩ resistor (•••• or ••••)

So does it matter which way around a resistor is put, out of interest?

Luckily, it doesn't. I'd die if it did!

Yeah, resistors have no polarity anyway :lol:

And, I need to know what parts I need out of my screen, I'm a bit uneducated about the whole backlights and stuff :oops:

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?
