I should have asked, then that little baby might be on its way to me right now.
Definitely interested - what sort of price are we looking at? ;D

For the Crystal? The board isn't labeled in such a way that I can find a 3V source or even a ground. All the leads are numbered :(
It dims the light just a bit. It's a tad too bright IMO and it tends to wash the screen out.

Not to flood you with request, but how much you charging for a service like this out of curiosity? You do great work
wiggy:
Bah, had to pull out the volt-meter and poke around a bit. Found a 3V source though, so front lit WSC is in the works.
Rick, I'll shoot you guys a pm in a bit. I may have a backlit option after today. I'll let you guys know...

If you know what game this is, then you may be able to guess the owner of this unit ;)

Wow, that is one sexy NGPC ;) Whoever got that (and loves Mega Man so much) sure is an awesome guy! 8)
