Game Gear Screen Upgrade
This is definitely worth doing, Game Gears are pretty hard work these days with their washed out screens, this modification to a modern TFT display is 100% worth it!

That's awesome! My old Game Gear has a rather poorly screen so replacing it with something like this would give it a whole new lease of life! Now... where did I put it.... 😎👍

@backofficeshow Год назад

It is literally the single best quality of life upgrade I have ever made, definitely do it 😂

@JomasterTheSecond Год назад

It's so great we have the technology to make the screen on a Game Gear _visible_ now.

@johnabbitt690 Год назад

The minute that subtitle came up on the screen about the wrong instructions I was dreading the worst! I thought you might be chopping off bits you weren't supposed to! Thank god it all worked out in the end. Phew!

@backofficeshow Год назад

To be honest I suspect many a person has killed their GG trying to install these 😂 Even the correct instructions were cryptic!

Great video I see on ebay there’s a v4 kit that has plugged connectors. But looks like you do have to solder some lead wires to some pins. Would this now be the easiest way to install a screen mod in any gamegear? Thanks.

@leecollins5479 Год назад

they had 4 themed game gear minis released

@backofficeshow Год назад

I'm not sure how I totally missed those! Were that practically sized or just a gimmick?

@ukzoinks Год назад

That looks like the exact screwdriver I needed to repair something a few years ago. I gave up looking in the end and threw the thing away.

@backofficeshow Год назад

Oof

@philipboggs3372 Год назад

This looks great! I wanted to do this to my Game Gear but unfortunately it released the magic smoke.

NOOOOOOOO 🙀

I shipped my Game Gear into WarioParty for a McWill upgrade before I even researched what McWill was. So, here I am checking out what I'm even getting 😂

@backofficeshow 11 месяцев назад

If it's the same kit I am sure you will be pleased

@dhgodzilla1 11 месяцев назад

Where did you get the Instructions for this? I am pulling my teeth out trying to find it. I don't want to be forced to look at a small picture on Ali Express

@backofficeshow 11 месяцев назад

I think it took an awful lot of googling and even then there were a few different versions. I feel your pain!

@mrchilled85 Год назад

do you have a link to that screen kit ? would not mind doing that screen mod to mine as screen is on the way out after i had recapped the gg last month and been using it a fair bit as stuck being bed bound for the next 2-3 months since a bike crash

Would you take on a screen conversion and if so what would you charge? Kind regards.

@backofficeshow 8 месяцев назад

It's not really something I would do,

@christiangutierrez83 5 месяцев назад

So question: do the capacitors still need to be replaced or is this a way to both update and bypass replacing capacitors?

@backofficeshow 5 месяцев назад

The capacitor will still need to be replaced

Hello. I installed the same IPS mod. Everything is working but there is only one problem. Start button does not work. Do you know what can cause the issue? Thank you

@backofficeshow 6 месяцев назад

Honestly, I wouldn't know, but I would suggest checking all your work closely

@RKR2969 10 месяцев назад

Is there any screen’s solder free because I don’t want to have to mess with it

@backofficeshow 10 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure there isn't a soldering free solution

Did you get light bleed?

No, I think it's pretty much perfect

@@backofficeshow great work. I ordered this kit today but didn't realise how close that top edge cut is! Squeaky bum time now.

@isodoubIet 7 месяцев назад

"As you will probably have experienced if you had one of these back in the day, you can hardly see the screen" Uh, what? It was bright as hell. Maybe it's because I was played with the power adapter? Or maybe it's because your unit is old? I don't remember myself or anyone back then even dreaming of suggesting a game gear's screen was harder to see than a gameboy.

@backofficeshow 7 месяцев назад

Maybe bright, but no contrast 😂 They were truly awful. A lot of people think the screens have degraded, but that is how they were from day one

@isodoubIet 7 месяцев назад

@@backofficeshow The contrast was just fine, too (again, I never really played on battery so maybe there's a difference there).
