A simple how-to for replacing game gear capacitors! This game gear is a single asic va1. 0:50 for the main board repair 9:51 for the sound board repair 13:41 for the power board repair
Well documented. My son says you sound like an 80s dude and I say totally Rad bruh. 😅. I have a VA4 board with large white bar in front. And can’t see any video activity. I recapped as per the wiki caps and not quite sure what’s causing it. Sound and power seems to work. May be you can point me in the right direction.
If the "large white bar" has any traces of magenta or cyan colors in it, the display drivers are shot. It sounds like the recap was successful with the sound and power board, so the main board may have a flipped cap or one that you missed. (Hard to tell without photos) And thanks for the 80s comment! Good times!
