"Im thinking of painting my cube"

Im pondering about giving my cube a respray, but im a little anxious about what may be involved. I would be grateful if anyone (particularly Dr Duck) could give me a few pointers.

Thanks.

I'll rip it open a week on friday, with my exams over i will be able to give it my full attention.

lol :^)


Oh, the led - it was only supported in place by its wires (sticking up from a circuit board), so to replace it you'll need to make sure you can get it in fairly much exactly the right position. You'll see when you're inside. I expect if you're competent with a soldering iron you should be able to do it.
Was a fairly small led if i remember right. Again, take a look for yourself.

Thanks very much, im going to try the melted bic pen screwdriver first though.

Right, i was writing a guide, but it got pretty long so i'm going to shove it in its own thread.
Any problems ask me there, i'll do what i can to help.

And if you need the special screwdriver bit you can borrow mine.

*mistakes, obviously

Hmm... there's an american site called www.radioshack.com that did them the last time I checked, if not, I think colorconsoles.com do them. I'll go get the name of the other place in the USA that does them- but i'm not sure they ship overseas.

I hope to god you really have a sister, a pink gamecube just isn't manly.

Nice -Noise.

What a mistake. :-D

Lysdexia there case of doubt no.

Anyways, I am going to make a pink Gamecube for my sister.

(tell the truth)

Shut up brain.
