Here is mine, in all its backlit glory. I am a little irritated, I got a new screen lens off ebay because mine was scratched, and have only taken the protective film off yesterday. I carried it to my car with a couple games against it and by the time I got to my destination the screen is scratched to hell! I dont know if the ebay ones are just that cheap or what, but I already need a new one since it distracts quite a bit during play.

I know there are cheaper and "better" ways of getting lit GBA games going (SP, PSP emulator, Clone systems etc...) but I love doing projects like this and enjoyed undertaking the mod and having a successful result.

Had the same issue with my eBay lens, it got scratched cleaning it...with a lens cleaning cloth! Fucking rubbish. Might try buffing the scratches out of my original lens and putting that back in.
