Step By Step Tutorial


For this mod I opened my DS lite GBA dust cover that came with the DS lite to put LED's in it. First you must open it
Once the screws are removed you can start working.



Then on the chip inside you have to go 2 pins from the left and three from the left and scrape off the green covering with a screw driver..



Then use a conductive pen and draw a line up to where you want to connect your wires...



This is what it looks like with the conductive ink..



Now you can either use wires or just connect the LEDs using the conductive pen. (using the conductive pen is much easier).



Now If you want to do a parallel then you must do it like this. carve a little bit off the green above trace in the center if you want to hid the conductive pen.



I used 0603 blue surface mount LED's I got on AcidMods.

You cant really see the LED's through the white case but if you get a clear case from www.coolmods.co.uk it looks awsome



This is what everything looks like when done.
