i was wondering if i is possible to add some LED's to the FLU to make the screen a little brighter or if there is a light that could be purchased like the one's you can get for the GBA?
 
The difference betweena flu and a blu is :

The flu has lights infront of the screen
The blu has lights behinnd the screen

I think that the lcd screens are diferent, as the one in the blu allows light through
 
Yeah the flu's screen doesn't let light through so it can't be made into a blu. If you could purchase a new lcd screen, like the one in the blu, then you could do it.

Hate to call you out on it but BULLSHIT!!!! :p
From Craigs site:
The box in red is all new, and a close up of this is on the right. The new LCD connector is stuck in place and there is no chance you will be able to swap a BLU screen into an old GP32, there is just too much new stuff.
So no, there is no way to do it

He didnt say to use a BLU screen, he said an LCD like the BLU screen which means it may be possible you just need to find the right type and then add the lights behing it.(it might be troublesome to fit it back into the gp32 casing but it is possible)

was responding to Ganepark32 (which is why i quoted him). But honestly i dont think its possible wither way; would be fantastic if it was. There would be alot of people itching to upgrade their FLU's into ones that are backlit

The lcd´s wiring of the classicgp32/flu and the blu are different so the Blu´s screen will not fit into the flu!
That´s what Craig from www.gbax.com says.
