BlindEye's GBA SP USB C Charging Port Mod

About this video

A USB C charging port goes into a Game Boy Advance SP, with the maker working out the order for soldering the anchor points and via, plus a reshaped bezel.

Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead. The lithium pack is a fire risk if punctured or shorted.

Why watch it

Fitting order is the sticking point: the maker thinks the first attempt went in the wrong order, and suggests clearing solder from both anchor points and doing the via first. Stock of the part may have lapsed.
