I think 133mhz has answered that question before.
Yeah, I've seen it done with the first type GBA's but not a GB. I would assume it's possible.

The GBA backlight was called an Afterburner. I was very interested in one of those when they first came out, but never got around to getting one,.

Yeah I did, and also nurd gave a pretty good idea (using EL tape instead of surface mount LEDs).

Same here :D.
thx i will try
but i have two ? wat does the tape do is it a special tape or is their any other tape i can use
It's a special kind of tape which lights up when you apply an electric current through it. Do you know those digital watches which light up when you push a button to see the time when it's dark? Those use EL tape on the back of the display.
EL means ElectroLuminiscent. And nurd left a link somewhere where you could buy some.
But... there is another thread by you, almost exactly the same, just worded differently.
Also, what should I do to one of my gameboy colors?
yea i know but i didnt get any use full info from that one
Well...EL tape.
Anyway, I'm going to try this with one of my GBC's.
What should I use as a reflector?
Aluminum Foil might not look good,but it can't be so shiny that you can see through the screen.
Don't tell me you guys don't even know
GameBoy Light........
We do know GameBoy Light.
We also know that it is expensive, and not in color.
my bad.....
That tape thing sounds like a damn good idea. Anything is better than that silly contraption that straps onto the front of the thing. :P
