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

The backlit one needs 12-18v.

I can't believe I'm saying this to palmer but...

THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!!!

Nope, that's right.

You're such a silly.

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

How do you get that high of voltage in a gameboy?

4 ~3V LEDs in series makes total sense. He's right. Same with the light I use, which is why it worked at all.

Can you read? I pointed out in the article that there is an 18V unregulated line. This is intended to drive the LCD. The small board in the lower left converts 3V into 5V and 18V.

D'oh. My apologies. Feel free to delete that post, if you want.

Nope, passing on that.
