making a multi-mod GBC

[Tsukimaru]

hey guys i got a gbc last week and i`ve been playing old pokemon games (which i replaced batteries cause they were all out of juice )

even before i got the gameboy i was thinking on modding it AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE (including case, power led, a frontlight, adding a new crystal, an so on) as much it doesnt burn itself lol

well, i need some help to find tutorials for the following things:
- making a gbc rechargeable with a gba sp battery (i heard somewhere around it was possible, and with diagrams if possible please but anything works for me)
-ANY OTHER MODS YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT CAN MAKE MY GBC ROCK ON like a contemporain handheld xD



thx beforehand for the help.
I`ll be uploading a vid whenever im done with all the mods i can add to a gameboy color

That should help for the rechargeable battery and as for the led replacement I buy from here:

you could buy 3mm LED from other places too if you want

I'd be careful with that guide. Without a protection circuit board on the psp battery, it can explode.

yeah, i already read that tutorial in the past, but i thought that it would be extremely dangerous for me to try that, so i was thinking of using a gba sp battery since (by a friend`s testimony) it`s less dangerous and less likely to explode than psp batteries.



btw, i wasted my power switch (it is so embarassing to tell though since it was soldiering ), so i need a methot to replace THE WHOLE PIECE and fin a way to make it turn on again.

any help would be warm welcome

Would this work to fix that problem?:
