[Miceeno]

It's a G-Boy and it's purple.

I can't get over how hilarious it is to play Guitar Hero on this tiny portable with this giant plastic controller.

Clean AF. Awesome job!

Very nice wiring. Though, you forgot to peel off the protective plastic film from the copper plate. You should remove it to avoid overheat

I pealed a blue film off of both sides. Is there more? I scratched at the surface with a razor blade because I thought the same thing. I think the surface is etched where the air bubbles were.

Ah nevermind then, it looked like air bubbles from the picture.

I appreciate it Aurelio. I'd hate to kill this over something so simple.

The guide wasn't clear on what thermal interface material is to be used. I used some Noctua NT-H1 I had lying around. Was I supposed to reuse the old thermal pads?

Nah, it doesn’t really matter honestly. I use arctic silver 5 and it works just fine
