*bounce bounce*

Guess what! Our Afterburners finally arrived here today. Michi and I spent the whole evening installing this little sucker on his Gameboy. We had a few problems with cutting the case to fit the Afterburner and the brightness dial (it took us at least 2 hours to do that) and two times a wire we had soldered to the GBA's mainboard broke off and we had to solder it back. Apart from that (and having to fight dust a lot) everything went smoothly. Even laminating the anti-reflective film to the LCD (which most people seem to find the hardest part) went well. When we were reassembling the GBA we suddenly noticed that we had put the LCD back on the wrong way. It was kind of hard to get it back off and I thought that we had ruined everything now. But we were lucky and it worked out. It's an almost perfect install I'd say. No bubbles or dust under the AR film.

It was midnight when we were finished with Michi's GBA so we didn't start installing my Afterburner. We'll do that tomorrow (cross your fingers that it'll work as good as the first one!).

*happy*
