Hello again! Here was my shopping list (I am sure that there are better!) and I think that this was everything that I had in front of me when working:
For the Gameboy:
- screen and glass (and this came with screwdrivers but I bought others because it doesn't say that it does), https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Levels-High-Light-V2-IPS-Backlight-LCD-Screen-Kit-For-Game-Boy-Advance-GBA/312745721491?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
[one regret = I should have bought a funny playing screen to support the person that came up with this mod rather than from China directly]
- screwdrivers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KFJK7MQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- black silicone buttons (haven't arrived yet so I cleaned my original ones with a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol for now), https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Game-Boy-GBA-Advance-Button-Silicone-Rubber-D-Pad-Conductive-AB-Select-Start/312608709452?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=611338502576&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
- black button set, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Button-set-for-Game-Boy-Advance-Nintendo-GBA-custom-mod-AGB-001-Black-ZedLabz/371907958966?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
From this company I bought the following (but their website is down for maintenance now): www.deadpanrobot.co.uk/
- case that was pre-cut for a new IPS display (it is central in the glass screen now): Mandarin Shell For Nintendo Game Boy Advance
- 3D printed mount (useful but the screen came with two bits of plastic that would have done the job (see the video that I linked 'person that filmed the whole process')
- Model Sticker For Nintendo Game Boy Advance (just so it doesn't look empty on the back)
​
For soldering:
- solder, https://www.amazon.com/EL60-40-25-Electronic-Solder-Resin/dp/B0001P171K
- wires, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01F8PO8OA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For cleaning connections:
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Cotton wool buds (Q-tips?)
> Which strips exactly did you use?
These ones. Make sure to use the 60 LED/meter ones!
> Did you glue them on?
The strips have adhesive. You can glue them on or use electrical tape. Up to you. I used hot glue because it let me angle the strips slightly outwards, so more light would escape (as opposed to just shining down on the aluminum backplate).
If you want to angle the strips outwards but don't have hot glue, cut a piece of wire and use it as a fulcrum when you tape the strips down.
> Will using a 2.0 usb just not make the keyboard work or will it burn my computer my keyboard and maybe my house ?
If you're powering the keyboard of a very cheaply-designed USB hub, it might draw too much current through the device and brick it. This has an extremely small chance of happening, though. There shouldn't be any risk of fires.
I've used the keyboard on plenty of USB 2.0 hubs without problem.
> How tf do you do step one in your tutorial?
I soldered small-gauge wires - you can see them in my picture. I found silicone-insulated wire easiest to work with.
> are the strips heavy or light?
The strips feel quite light. They certainly shouldn't be so heavy as to pull the PCB down. The strips are only $10 so give it a shot and see what you think.
> How sturdy are the switches on holtites, btw?
They stopped working after some time. I'd recommend putting the Holtites in the socket instead of on the switch. I haven't had a problem with any of my switches after I did that.
Sorry for the late response!
