Not....really worth a thread, but I can respect your skills. Thats about where I started, fixing a toy here and there and now I mod Gamboys for all sorts of people. Mostly chiptune artists though.
What exactly was the problem? you say R&L, so I assume you meant the shoulder buttons. If you meant R&L on the D-pad, then that sir is commendable! I have seen traces on the PCB go bad and take an entire day of following with a magnifying glass to find the break.

SP's are pretty cool, but just so you know, you can use the lighting implement in the SP to frontlight a gameboy color! Its a much more tough mod, so beware!

Mean't the shoulder buttons Cool .It would be cool to do that but i don't have a gameboy color unfortunately otherwise i might have tryed it .i fixed the laser on my ps2 once but it only worked for a while before the same problem

Not too shabby

I Do a fair bit of PC mods and repairs as well as some console stuff, In fact my PSP will be the next thing to be getting looked at since I have worn it out

Seriously? Thats pretty awesome, would definitely give my old GBC some new life & use (haven't used it in probably 8 years). Any idea if the frontlight part can be bought separately somewhere?

Fixing old/broken/worn out gaming hardware & accessories really is a useful skill though. I remember starting on genesis gamepads when I was little, whenever the buttons would get too sticky or worn feeling I would take them apart and soak the plastic and rubber parts in rubbing alcohol, wipe em down and they'd be good as new

Lucky you. What I would give to fix my Nintendo DS...

How did you fix your SP anyway?

I took it apart and removed the shoulder buttons and put them in water and removed all crap and dust.I removed the rubber on the R&L and removed stuff there .then i looked at the motherboard just for fun and putted it all togather again .oh and i dryed the shoulder buttons first
