  • I'm upgrading my SP and this is the first time I've attempted modding before. Definitely using this vid HEAVILY to make sure I don't mess up the sodering or anything else!
  • @LionStark
    just used that white wave shell myself, the build quality and the finish is really nice!
  • Did the whole swap. My first experience with any mod including soldering. Thank you for it
  • @riptide8718
    Thanks! Just upgraded an old SP from eBay using this guide! ips display, Pokedex shell and mahko's drop-in battery mod. Super helpful to be able to see every step and follow along!
  • @GoldOatMilk
    I'm still scared to do this BUT this is giving me a lot of confidence with how easy it looked for you!
  • @Clanps
    The SP was the first system I did any major changes to. I did a full case swap and screen replacement.
  • @sonicspin001
    hey man, I recently modded my sp and wanted the usb c charging as the last touch but tripped at the finish line
  • @WhiteInk47
    Me scrolling through all these mod videos with absolutely no intention of modding my gba.
  • @paramkore1101
    I’ve watched so many videos and I still have one thing I’m super confused about. I bought a shell and I have an sp 101. I just want to replace the shell, do I still need to solder that wire on or is that only if I’m replacing the screen with a new screen? Sorry if this is a silly question, this is my first time ever doing this
  • @earthskarma
    This is fantastic Jake, thank you so much. I followed this video as spoon-fed instructions while I did my shell and screen mod from retro game repair shop (use code Jake). I had excellent results. Awesome sauce. 🤘
  • The only thing I came here for was to learn how to put on the Nintendo logo on the top of the shell and YOUR CASE DOESN'T HAVE ONE. How do I put that damn thing on? I started by just placing it in the little slot thing. That didn't work. Then I thought it was a sticker so I removed the bottom part from the top of the logo and it turns out it wasn't a sticker and I ruined it. I'm confused. Outside of that, this was the best video I have seen so far on the screen mod. I wish I saw it before I modded mine because it would have made my life a lot easier.
  • Will the black precut screen be installed the same way into the white case?
  • @Nick-rc7il
    Does it matter if it’s an 01 or a 101 for a new screen?
  • @Dark03
    I accidentally bought a shell that is not cut out for IPS screen so would like some advice on how & what tools to use in order to mod the shell to fit the IPS screen in it instead of just buying a new shell
  • @NCA0896
    Where did you get the white bezel for the screen?
