it unlocks many cool features!
- HHL Backlight Kit v3 $9.99
- Washed Yellow or White?
- Comes with everything needed: backlight, two wires, polarization film, SMD resistors are preinstalled
- HHL Bivert/Hex Module $3.99
- Might not end up installing this, depending on his feedback; a blue screen with more contrast might be less desirable than a screen that retains some of its characteristic green
- Housing: Original Gray $11.99
- Will be noticeably less yellow than the housing it's replacing.
- Seems to come with:
- Buttons
- Plastic screen cover (is this preinstalled or separate?)
- Metal shield behind the cart slot
- Battery door
- Link port cover
- Power switch
- Screws
- Does not seem to come with:
- Silicone button pads
- Battery terminals?
- Screen cover replacements
- What do we want here? One plastic, one glass? Both plastic? An extra, just in case the one that comes with the housing is preinstalled?
- One set of battery terminals $1.99
- If new casing comes with terminals, replace the original casing's terminals; otherwise new casing gets new terminals.
- Silicone button pads
- Do we want/need these? The originals work fine, they're just a bit dusty. Extra set for the extra housing?
- Important questions:
- -Colors!
- -Do we want the Original Gray housing, or something more creative? There are a few transparent flavors.
- -Which backlight color? (I'm not too keen on the RGB backlight, considering that putting in dials to control it would require case modding I'm not comfortable with.)
- -Do we want a full set of parts for each housing? There's only one set of the actual electronics that go inside them.
- -Most of these are foisted upon us just from buying a new shell. We'd likely reuse the original buttons/power switch/screws/cart slot shield for the new shell otherwise.
- -How much redundancy do we want for the parts we buy, and how much do we want to avoid making a second order if we miss something?
- -There's at least two cases (screen cover, battery terminals) where we can spend a trivial amount extra to avoid a second order.
- Initial decisions in case I can't contact John before I buy parts:
- -HHL Backlight Kit v3, White $9.99
- -HHL Bivert/Hex Module $3.99
- -Housing, Original Gray $11.99
- -One glass screen protector. Probably will go on the new shell if the plastic one isn't preinstalled. $4.49
- -No fresh silicone button pads, the originals are fine.
- -One set of battery terminals, as already outlined. $1.99
- -Total: $32.45 plus tax and shipping
