Reviving a Dead SEGA GameGear

Показать описание
I have had this SEGA GameGear lying around for a couple of years. I got it very cheap, because it was sold as broken, for parts. It came with a few games and the TV Tuner. Upon trying it out I noticed the power comes on, but all else seems dead. The GameGear is prone to have very bad capacitors, so that is the first order of the day: recapping! This and a modern LCD replacement are what we are going to tackle in this episode!

I still have one of these somewhere. I loved that thing when I was a kid. It was amazing when Gameboy was the only credible competitor. Battery life was terrible. The passive LCD was hard to see. The games were pretty poor to be honest. It was doomed at the outset, but it felt rebellious and awesome to embrace it over Nintendo. Fun stuff.

Back in 1999/2000 I threw away a Game Gear that had the exact same symptoms along with a bunch of games. I had no idea that it would take only a simple capacitor replacement to fix it. To be honest, I didn't even know how to replace capacitors.. I still want to go back in time and punch myself in the face though.

Also, great to see a Wonderland (1990) big box game in the background. A fantastic adventure game that most people seem to have no idea about, interestingly..

Oh, and cutting cables then doing the double-checking: Classic LOL
