![]() I just got through making my own GBA Macro and I have a couple tips for stereo sound:ġ. See the photos below for more detail.Īfter this, your unit should no longer sleep. Then, bridge the top solder points of U11. To remove U11 either desolder the three legs of the chip, or clip them off. U11 is located between the face buttons on the right side of the motherboard. You can bypass this by removing U11 from the motherboard. ![]() The most common area where you would install a speaker can inadvertently activate the sleep mode on the unit. When building your Macro you may find speaker placement to be problematic. Once that is hard, sand down to a smooth finish againĪlternatively, you can assemble it as is, it will certainly work just fine without any fancy case-work □ Optional – Disabling the Sleep Circuit (Recommended).I do not have a specific tutorial for this as it’s a fairly straightforward process. The final step in this build is the body modification. Or you can fill the slot with bondo, sand, and drill speaker holes as seen here: You can simply place the speaker over the pre-existing stylus slot. You can just use flush cutters, or a dremel if you’re feeling fancy. Once you have confirmed it is working you can glue the speaker down like so, where the stylus slot is: Note: You will need to cut the screw post out for the stylus holder. Now you can reconnect the wifi board, hook the battery up, plug the screen in, and test it! Ground = headphone Jack Ground (Rear of the board.But if you want to use the left as well, solder it to the point referenced. This tutorial will only include the right speaker. Next, flip the motherboard over and solder the speakers to the points marked below. Once it’s screwed in you can glue the speaker down. You will need to remove it to screw the motherboard into your case after you finish your mod. Just let the speaker magnetize to the motherboard for now. Run the speaker wire under the DS slot like so. Return to the motherboard and flip it over. Next cut two strands of kynar wire (maybe four inches in length, you can always trim it later) and solder it to the connectors on the speaker. Then desolder one or both sets of speakers marked below. Once it’s out, push the screen out from the front of the case (just push against the plastic), and it will come out, speakers and all. You can either cut it, or roll it up and slip it through the metal ring. You’ll need to remove the ribbon cable holding the screen in. Once it’s open you should see something like this. I usually start at the hinge since that’s easy to separate. Just do the same as you did on the case and slowly work around. Now you need to flip it over, and pry the back off. The resistor will lower to the point then you can solder the next point. I have found that the easiest way to install these resistors is to first pool solder on the points (see below), then use a pair of tweezers to hold it to the points while heating the pool of solder. Through hole resistors will also work, but will take up more space. Now that you have the board free of the shell, and the touch screen removed you must solder a 330 OHM SMD resistor to the points marked below. If you have no plans of using the top screen then you could also just cut the cable. Feed the ribbon cable through the slit like you see below. Now you may remove the top half of the shell from the board and remove the touch screen. Then, flip the motherboard up from the bottom and rest it on your workspace (see below).Īfter this, you may disconnect the ribbon cables marked. To do this, push the touch screen from the outside, this will lift the motherboard out of the shell. Now you may remove the motherboard from the shell. Lift it up from the bottom with a small flat screwdriver or similar. Next, you need to disconnect the digitizer ribbon cable, the connector is VERY fragile. Since we’re not going to need it I usually just cut it off.ĭO NOT DISCARD THE BIOS CHIP (BLUE) IT IS REQUIRED FOR THE DS TO BOOT There is some double sided tape holding the right side of the bios module down, so it will be slightly tough to remove ![]() You can try to feed it through the DS slot, but it will probably get caught on something. Note: It may be difficult to remove the wifi antenna (black). Then remove the Wifi/Bios module (marked in blue). Once open, remove the screws and disconnect the cables marked in red. Lift it up slowly, the springs in the L and R buttons may pop out. Start at right side and slowly pry around to the left side until you can lift it up. It is a bit of a pain, but remove the bottom first, leave it so the bottom screen is laying face down or else you risk damaging the ribbon cable. Once these screws have been removed you can pry the DS case open.
