Step 3Cut the Switch Hole
Although you don't need to disconnect the PCB to cut the hole for the switch, it's nice to have that out of the way.
Start by scoring the case of the Gameboy in the spot you want to put the switch. I found there is a lot of room just underneath the battery compartment. Cut the hole a little smaller than needed. You can always cut it bigger, but you can't cut it smaller. Keep cutting until you cut all the way through. It takes a long time, but it's worth it for a clean cut.
After you have the hole cut out and the switch fits, drill the holes for the screws. I like to put the switch in first, then drill through the hole for the screw.
