I've remade most variants of GG cart PCBs, and I'm planning to make a universal replacement aswell. would anyone be interested in buying these if I had them produced? they would be almost identical to the original, like this image. If so, would you rather have each exact clone available or one universal board that wouldn't look as identical to your original board?

Mine is corroded so I want to replace it.

Hi all

I am sorting out my house and found this relic hidden away! It gave me a good nostalgia hit.

I turned it on and as you can see from the picture it still works but the screen is broken.

I have 15 games to go with it, if anyone wants to know specifically what games then let me know.

Thanks in advance.

i ordered some nichicon caps from zedlabz and the 10uf 6.3v caps i need aren't in the kit, only 10uf 16v ones. will they be fine on the board and not kill it? my board is a va0 jpn 836-7398-03.

Got it for cheap too!

I replaced the caps on the main board and here's where I'm at. Should I try the power board next? Or is it clear that a new screen is needed?

Do any cut guides to make the retrosix dpad work with the ball bearing version? I just prefer the feeling of that one, and none of the other ones that already fit with my original rubber pads don't come in the color I want.

Can anyone tell me how to tell if my game gear is va1? I need to buy new capacitors.

Hello, a co worker of mine is looking for someone to repair his game gear. He says it still powers on but the screen stays off. it probably needs a full service intervention, Any recommendations will be helpful

Finally restored my only working Game Gear, whose screen crapped out on me 9 months ago after being shelved for less than a year. I wanted to play Tesserae... had to wait. Until now!!! New LCD installed and looking glorious.

When I was a kid I had a GG with 2 games and now 20 years later I was hit with nostalgia and a good deal.

The game gear works fine, but the screen is kind of really scuffed. I did a quick Google and stumbled upon 2 solutions. 1 is just replace the whole screen with 3rd party, wich I'm scared of fearing it might devalue console in future, and 2, use something called Plastx.

What is the general consensus between the experts around here regarding what's best? Is changing screen perfectly acceptable without losing any future value? Is Plastx really the way to go?

Hi everyone, this might be quite a generic question but I want to get a game gear so I can get Donald no Magicalworld on Game Gear but the game is Japan only, so I just want to make sure the Game Gear is 100% region free as it is not a very cheap game. I heard that if you put this specific game in a NA Game Gear it translates into english but I just wanted to make sure if like, the same would happen on a PAL game gear. Thank you so much. :)

I can change your failing caps, do screen mods or anything else to tune these things up dm me if until still in need to make my own web page but until then I just have to post

my game gear wont work after installing ali express lcd i thought it was cause i accidentally turned it on without noticing a couple caps had their lead bent off the solder but i reconnected them and still has this issue. did i fry some chip or somthing? i even tried ordering a whole new kit but clearly was a waste of money cause it still does this
