thanks man for the advice i got a game gear today and the screen was jacked up. turns out i pulled a retard move some one already fixed it i just had the brightness on high. any way thanks alot!
very helpful, my gamegear has this same problem, too bad i have no skill with sautering so i couldn’t do this but at least now i know why its like that
hey very helpfull video, I only have one problem, when I go to the web page you specify, I cannot seem to find the right cap. in your pdf you say a standard electrolityc cap will do but theres four kinds, so if you could specify which thatd be great.
You really don’t need to worry too much, so long as it has the right uF and same or higher voltage. Just get the smallest you can find.If you have an electronics store in your area that sells capacitors you could take your Game Gear in and have them sort it out for you.
allright. theres one in the town I live in, I’ll go see if they can help me. Its great that there is people like you that help us keep this systems working, good job
Great video mate… subbed and added to my favs… I got a busted GG today and now I know how to fix it. Just need one of those weird screwdrivers first! ;o)
soorry but this wont help me my sega game gear’s light bulb behind the screen is haf destroydand im not a wuss i tryied fixing it many times
I’m always half joking when I say the “Wussy talk” thing. If something is so broken it needs parts from a working machine then it’s best to just replace it. Sometimes things break for good.
I’ve just replaced the capacitors, and now my GameGear works waaaaaaaaay better!!! Tyvm man!!!. Btw, there’s a reason for not to replace ALL the capcitors (f.e. the other 4 on the sound pcb)?… are they of better quality, or aren’t used as much as the replaced ones?
Replacing the others is only necessary if after replacing the main one the sound is still bad.
