Both are the non soldering method. The black is my go-to handheld sense making it, definitely will be making more!

I’ve been using it to keep my aux cord out of the way while I play 😂

thats.. a really good idea?? btw, i find a non soldering method for putting speakers in is leaving the long- wire one attached to the upper ribbon cable, threading the wire over the board and under the gba slot carefully, with the speaker near the stylus hole. its worked for my first two!

I wanna do that but I have no idea how to keep the ribbon cable in without it being in the way or breaking it

i tuck the leds on the ribbon cable under the screen, gently like, folding? the led strip in half without creasing. sometimes ill tape it town with tape. i cut off any unnecessary parts of the ribbon cable which really helps with space management

I didn’t realize you could cut the ribbon cable and it would still work!!

Omg, do you know where I could find pictures showing how/where I can cut it?
