This impromptu video shows removing the GBA's 0603 SMD power LED with a soldering iron only, and with hot air. I had some trouble figuring out how to orient the LED, so unfortunately I won't be much help there. After some trial and error and a few bloopers, I was able to get the new LED working.

Recommended tools including the WEP 858D (110V) Hot Air Rework Soldering Station - https://www.amazon.com/shop/8bitjunkie

Update: I was a bit mystified on how to orient the LED. I think I finally found out why: http://imgur.com/gallery/zOKxPp5/
