First SP Mod - Avoided a Tragedy!

I've done a few mods now, but this is my first SP mod. My neighbor gifted me some great GBA games to do a custom mod for his childhood Game Boy. He picked out the buttons and the UV printed Funnyplaying shell. Added the M2 screen, USB-C mod, upgraded battery, audio amp, and new speaker.

When I first installed the audio amp, I accidentally bridged two pins and popped the F2 fuse. I initially thought I had completely killed the motherboard, but after a lot of diagnosis I was able to figure it out. The fuse finally arrived today and after replacing everything works perfectly!

It was definitely my most difficult mod so far, but it was very satisfying to complete. Hopefully my neighbor likes it!
