    was really having trouble getting the LED out but this gave me the confidence to try again and it worked perfect. Thanks!

    Adding an LED to a Pocket is very useful information 😇

    I didn't know that the early Game Boy Pockets didn't have power LEDs. That makes sense though because I got my Game Boy Pocket in 1998 which would make it a later model and it of course has an LED

    What brightness are your LEDs? Or which ones did you get? I am trying to swap the original gbc one out for a green one and they all seem too bright. But I never thought to get the flat top ones.

    Great video! Any idea why my LED is very dim? I tried with the flat top and a normal one and both work but are barely visible. Yours seems much brighter. I also cleaned the power switch and works perfectly. It’s dim with or without the IPS connected.

    Heat shrink tubing is also a great alternative to tape

      Hello Natalie! Just a little information. I'm interesting in the resistor; where can i find it? Can you help me with a link? Or say me the capacity of it..what kind of resistor is? Thank you very much and sorry for my bar english. Have a nice day!

    Hi Natalie, I purchased the LEDs you mentioned in the comments, I bought white LEDs for my GBC. However after replacing I'm getting no light on the led, the system works normally though. I've ensured polarity multiple times. Do I need to add a resistor to the GBC since it's a white led?

    • @NatalietheNerd
      @NatalietheNerd  2 роки тому +1

      First make sure you double check that the LED works.
      Each LED depending on manufactures has a different forward current so without knowing that I don't know whether it needs a resistor or not but usually from my experience with the GBC you can just swap the leds without adding a resistor

      @@NatalietheNerd I've had the same problem with a GBC and white. Using 3mm flat tops and it's a 3v 20ma led. I'm seeing someone elsewhere suggesting to bridge elsewhere to the diode, but idk enough to know if that's fine. The LED is working when I test it with a multimeter in diode mode, positive outside pad, negative inside pad.

    will the led get dimmer if there is less power left (I using a battery mod)

    • @NatalietheNerd
      @NatalietheNerd  2 роки тому

      nope, the circuit keeps a steady current to the led regardless of battery levels
