The Sega Game Gear is notorious for having poor quality capacitors. If left unchecked, these leaking caps can cause permanent damage to the system. As the capacitors fail, common symptoms occur including distorted video, distorted or missing audio, failure to read cartridges and no power in extreme cases. In this video I document my experience installing new capacitors in a Sega Game gear. Console restoration like this is important for the preservation of retrogames.

Fantastic video for the introduction of the Game Gear. I had one growing up and loved it, as it was my intro to many popular Sega franchises. Now I'm on my way to completing the NTSC collection, with 205/234.

@OregonRose2010 Год назад

You should totally revamp a Game Gear to have update battery, screen, and sound. Maybe even a storage option. That would be super cool!

@MadModLabs Год назад

This is a great idea. I will definitely be upgrading a Game Gear in a future video!

@OregonRose2010 Год назад

@@MadModLabs This is going to be epic! I can feel it 😁

@juhburd8442 Год назад

Man, this thing ate batteries!!! Loved it tho, and my gameboy

@mortal1501 9 месяцев назад

I am about to repair a game gear that I bought a week ago. Waiting on my capacitors. I will be taking my time fixing it. Thanks for the video

@Tomnickles Год назад

It would be interesting to see how much you could "modernize" something like that. Rechargeable battery, Bluetooth etc etc. I don't know how cost effective it would be, but still cool to think about lol

@MadModLabs Год назад

That will definitely be a future project. Thanks for watching!

Just got a free unit from a co-worker. You made it look easy to repair, now I've got a project for the winter. It came with 2 games! Sonic in the box with Japanese writing and other Gloc. Hopefully it comes back to life.

I had a GameBoy original, and later a PSP original. Both awesome in it's own ways.

@H1ZUMI Год назад

Quality video as always!

@chrischampagne Год назад

Going to give this a shot. Just got a free system body is mint but caps blown.

I guess i have to do this to a $14.99 savers find. The batteries area was slightly crusty. Cleaned it up, popped in batteries, turnd it on. The screen showed a game then 15 seconds poof screen went blank. Well it worked till that happened 😂.

@kennethwilliams691 Год назад

What u charge? I have a game gear I would love you have fully updated and restored. It powers on but doesn't do anything

@javierarzarello1817 Год назад

I have my chidhood with a bad screen. I want to replace it, but with an original one. Which is the best way to remove te old one without damage the ribbon cable? Thanks.

@okamijubei Год назад

Wonder if you can replace the screen with LEDs?

@ennesimo84 Год назад

Hi I have replaced all capacitors on 2 gamegear but I have blank screen on first and vertical Lines on second.

@MoonLight-zp2qu 9 месяцев назад

@RCA-Aviation Год назад

Ah yes, the classic 90s

@brandonmedeiros1955 Год назад

Do you have a map where the 1, 10 and 100 iu go?

@DoTechStuff Год назад

Love it.

@ellenjackson5615 2 месяца назад

Any chance I could send you mine for this same repair? What would you charge? I don’t trust my soldering skills enough! 😂

@randolphbegaye5389 10 месяцев назад

I had the original Gameboy

@justinstarnes81 5 месяцев назад

Can I send you mine for the same repair?

@noahrichards553 7 месяцев назад

LEATHERMAN’s are great..

@brandonmedeiros1955 Год назад

You only labeled 4 blue and supposed to be 5. Where is the 5th?

@corymoore3760 Год назад

Can you repair mine?

@nanaahogue6618 6 месяцев назад

Do you restore for people

@Rossv2motion Год назад

Why is it that I can watch these

@hyxlo_ Год назад

It’s 2:00 am. I have no interest in Game Gears or repairing electronics. Why am I watching this?

@thomastartu9597 8 месяцев назад

Not good for a product from the 1990s. Capacitors should never be a point of failure for any product, period.

@MadModLabs 8 месяцев назад

I wish capacitors would never fail. The Game Gear was released in 1991 in the US. 30+ years is definitely on the high end for an average electrolytic capacitor's life span.
