  • Shot this video a while back now, but haven't had time to edit it (it's so long D:). Anyway, hope you enjoy. It was fun, but I'll probably never do this again haha.
    Part 2 will be me making a shadowbox and mounting it all the components in it.

    Just built a custom but i accidentally burned and melted a small area on the pin cardtridge reader. Im glad i found your video because i didnt know that you have to de-solder all those pins.

    I don't even have a gameboy and just use my 3ds for games i ant to play, but I stay subbed for the great content as I like to tinker for fun and your content just speaks to me. I do really need to get a hot air/ reflow station :D

    • @esotericsean

      Thanks Jeremi! The 3DS is amazing and I love it too. The hot air station is pretty interesting! I think you can definitely get by without one, but it speeds things up.

      Keep up the interesting content!

    Whats that flux do? I'm completely new to this, iv just seen your video where you backlight a gbc and it was awesome

    • @esotericsean
      @esotericsean  4 роки тому +3

      Flux helps the solder flow, so if you have flux on a solder joint and apply heat it will make it a bit easier/cleaner to remove or attach components. Solder itself usually has some flux built in so when you melt the solder the flux melts along with it. But that flux is long gone from old components that have been soldered many years ago.

    Great video! Question, though, what was the Acetone supposed to do?

    • @esotericsean
      @esotericsean  3 роки тому +1

      I wanted to try and dissolve the white silkscreen layer to reveal the copper traces below it, but it didn’t work. I’m actually kinda glad though cause I like how it looks now. :)
