    Just a little tip for those who might not have noticed, when screwing screws into softer plastic, turn the screw the opposite way slightly, you'll hear a slight click if the screw holes have already been threaded. I'm not sure if the RetroModding shell has pre-threaded screw holes, but it's still a good practice just so you don't accidentally wreck the threads.

    • @MachoNachoProductions
      @MachoNachoProductions  4 года назад +42

      @totallyfrozen 3 года назад +5

      Exactly! Also makes screwing lids on things easier too. Basically you’re just aligning the threads so you don’t cross-thread and strip the threads.

      @MachoNachoProductions  4 года назад +8

      That's awesome! One easy thing you could try is moving the volume slider up and down repeatedly for a little while and see if that solves the issue. A lot of the times, corrosion builds up on the contacts of the slider and causes it to lose its connection. Moving it up and down will remove that corrosion and potentially restore it. It's a long shot but it's easy enough to give it a quick try. Let me know if it works out! Cheers!

    This isn't my first time modding a console and this video was very helpful, but my screen keeps changing the brightness level randomly by itself... I've desoldered the wire and made sure there's no bridging on the board, but the issue persists (brightness changes in random intervals). My soldering seems fine and the brightness button does work, so I've contacted FunnyPlaying's support to return the IPS kit because I'm pretty sure I received a faulty unit... I'm also applying to return their cheap transparent shell that broke off on the right hinge after literally a handful of times opening and closing the GBA. I feel like I got ripped off 🙂

    Idk if it is just my childhood rose tinted glasses getting in the way, but I swear the my GBA SP used to look as good as this mod does, but when I play on it today, it’s a really washed out and dim image. I will definitely be looking into an IPS display mod for my GBA as it is still the best way to play these games for me (my DS Lite has some serious ghosting issues with GBA games)

    I am surprised that aftermarket screen went in easily into the shell. Didn't watch the entire video but I'm guessing the shell is specially modded for that screen? Some shells require a part of the screen housing to be cut off/trimmed to use this IPS screen type.

      Thanks Logic Crash! I’m glad you found it helpful! When spray painting as long as you do light even coats, you don’t need to worry about covering the speaker holes. They will be perfectly fine. Just make sure your coats are very light, not heavy. I hope that helps. Best of luck! Cheers!
      P.S. Also just to be clear, I would strongly recommend removing the shell from the console prior to painting it and to also use primer.

    • @MachoNachoProductions
      @MachoNachoProductions  4 года назад +1

      Thank you Andres! If I remember correctly the kit came with a wire that was already pre-stripped so you didn't need to do it yourself. My only issue with the wire included was that I thought it was too short and made soldering a little tricky. If you use your own 28 AWG wire you will need to strip it yourself. I hope that answers your question. Best of luck! Cheers!

    • @Olie956
      @Olie956 4 года назад +2

      You probably just need to reseat the shoulder buttons. Sometimes they can come a little loose when you open the shell. They have little spring clips that hold them into place. Careful with them though, they are sharp and hold a lot tension so when you remove them from the clips holding them in place they will snap out and can fly or cut you if your finger is near them. I recommend using a pair of tweezers to grab the spring and slowly release the tension then remove and reseat them.

    Hi, looking for some help please! I put a new shell on my SP, and soldered the wire and it all went very well... except the buttons need to be pressed really hard for some reason. I put the original buttons and rubber grommets back and it still happens. Could it be a faulty shell? I cleaned everything numerous times and checked everything I could think of but nothing works..

    • @MachoNachoProductions
      @MachoNachoProductions  4 года назад +1

      Hmm that’s really strange. one thing you could check is that the membranes are aligned correctly. Sometimes during reassembly they can shift. If it’s not that it could be a faulty shell. Also you could check to see if the PCB is properly seated in the shell. Other than that I can’t really think of anything else. I hope this helps and that you resolve the issue. Best of luck. Cheers!
