frontlight gba

[markus]

I accidentally broke off the led from the gba sp's light panel. So i just tore off the orange connector thing and have only the diffusing light panel and that metal strip on the bottom. Can I still light it up nicely and evenly using a T1 3 mm led light? Because I can get a very faint light and a super washed out image. Any suggestions? I already ruined 2 sp's and I don't want to ruin any more. Any help would be appreciated.
