Really good news! I used second screen from DS and now it have overclock AND backlight!
I'll update my first post soon ^^

I got really bad news: Orange wire broke I need either new backlight, or I use super bright led...
But I got overclock work

Yay yay yay!
After many trial and error, I got backlit (somewhat) working!

I will upload pictures as fast as I can

Hi! I have been long time lurker here, and I'm finally starting my own modding project! :D
I'm going to mod my gameboy pocket (which haven't come yet) to have these:
