In today’s Special Halloween episode of Retro Renew, Tito will be using a special capacitor kit so that you’ll never have to replace another capacitor again! This kit uses ceramic capacitors instead of the traditional and more common electrolytic capacitors. Ceramic based capacitores will never leak and last much longer than electrolytic! During this process he will attempt to bring a SEGA Game Gear back from the dead. Will this special capacitor kit be enough to revive this tired and old Game Gear? Sit back, relax, and let’s find out!
So here's what you will find in this video:
► 0:00 Intro
► 1:09 Upgrade Process And Parts/Kit Overview
► 2:10 Replacing the Game Gear Capacitors
► 3:48 Review and Thoughts of the Kit
► 9:03 Conclusion
Have a Happy and Safe HALLOWEEN everyone!

Thanks for inspiring me lol, I’ll definitely have piece of mind after that’s done
@Angryhelder
@Angryhelder 3 года назад
For sound circuits you are better with electrolytic or better yet solid state tantalums which will not leak either and there are also polymer caps that look like electrolytic caps and don't leak either. Ceramics are good for many things but not leaking does not mean they will not fail eventually but they tend to last longer.

A year late to the party, but I dig this idea. I think ceramics would be beautifully suited to many vintage consoles for adding longevity. As was already mentioned though, I agree that tantalum or polymer caps would would be better suited for sound circuits in these systems.

@bonim5217
@bonim5217 3 года назад
Good work, to remove old capacitors first brake the glue with pliers then raise capacitor and then use soldering iron on the legs it comes out easy, power board capacitors rarely go bad, they are great quality, to fix your screen is easy, apply flux and warm the ribbon connector to the screen and gently press with pliers to solder contacts in place. Cheers mate
@soze701
@soze701 3 года назад
Nice video, I was wondering if there is any reason to be concerned about the longevity of the game gear after replacing the capacitors with ones that are way out of spec from original? Is there any reason to be concerned about replacing 22uf, 33uf, 47uf capacitors with 100uf capacitors?
@swytchblayd

Wondering the same thing. I absolutely get the appeal of simlifying the process -- Lord knows I was sweating bullets recapping my first GG -- but making sure the values are acceptable for the task is important as well. The boards vary wildly between revisions.

I want to consilize. I heard a new consolizing kit someone’s working on. I am also curious what is the best video out, mcwill’s, or that mod from australia (cant remember the name). Great update! A revolution! 😀

Gameboy's are so much easier to mod. There are so many components that can fail on the Game Gear. Excellent tutorial! Soldering the small capacitors is very time consuming but well worth it. I think your Game Gear was sitting in a hot attic for years. I didn't have any issue removing the plastic pieces when swapping out the capacitors. I was lucky and could just break the excess pieces of plastic away from the motherboard. It's nice to see someone else using 'Aerospace 303' - great stuff.

I did a partial recap on a 3DO and one of the caps was glued down and was fused to the board. Due to the tight fit, I ended up getting one leg unsoldered and bent and fatigued the cap until that part broke off. It wasn’t easy, and took about 20 minutes, but it came off eventually.

2 things... 1) I tried reviving a Game Gear with these ceramic capacitors but couldn't get it to work. Could be that they are so small and the 100 uF caps look identical to the 10 uF caps, so I may have mixed some up. At any rate, I swapped out the ceramic ones for new electrolytic ones and the Game Gear fired right up. 2) I've never seen that issue with the sound board caps fusing to the board. Sometimes they are a pain to get off (and I have ripped a couple pads off before), but I've never seen the black plastic stuck to the board like that. Kinda odd.

I'm assuming the screen was already bad but it could be the caps if it wasn't. Things like ESR and a few other aspects have to be accounted for when replacing cap types. The capacitance values may be the same but they can have wildly varying resistance values, etc.

@MachoNachoProductions 3 года назад
I’m hoping RetroSix looked into those metrics before releasing the kit. I don’t know of they did but the ceramic cap values are different from the electrolytic ones in the GG. I wish I had a deep understanding of electronics to know the difference of each cap type. Cheers Danny!

Just a personal opinion, but I wonder why repair companies don't put more stock into polymer caps. No juice means they don't have the capacity to leak, leading to a longer lifespan. Sure they're more expensive, but I'd rather pay a few more bucks than have to replace those again in 10-20 years... Other cool things for the GameGear if you don't care about keeping it stock: CleanAmp GG for better sound; CleanJuice GG to replace the batteries with Lipo rechargables & use USB-C vs the old barrel connector; plenty of shell & button replacements; VGA mod, to play it on a TV/monitor; controller mod, to use a Genesis or any other controller with that 15-pin layout to play; plenty of screen replacements. The list goes on. So much love for it nowadays :)

Nice video but ceramic caps are used for filtering and not power applications, electrolititics are used to stabilise voltages and power especially on the power and audio boards, Sega knew to use electrolititics for a reason, not the best replacement when using a good quality Panasonic or Nichion cap.

I must have been fortunate enough to not have the plastic fused to the board. I didn't have much trouble removing the capacitors or much to clean up. When I did this I wasn't really sure of the best way to remove the flush-mounted caps. I dabbed some flux around the flush-mounted ones and gently pulled and wiggled the capacitors while heating the wires in contact with the pads. Then I heated up the pads once I was able to stand the caps up a little bit.

Please say you took care of the corrosion on the left side of the main PCB. That stuff was pure green. I'd recommend white vinegar followed by alcohol if you haven't done so. As for the stuck SMD caps on the audio and power boards, that is due to the leaking of the electrolytic fluid from the caps acting like a glue for the caps. Normally, the glue/adhesive they used is only on the main PCB under the rectangular housed caps. The stuck plastic can be removed with a bit of heat, but you likely won't ever get the adhesive itself off. Beyond that, not bad work!

The plastic hasn't fused. Rather, the components have been glued to the PCB before being soldered down at the factory. Im not sure what type of glue it was, but make sure to use a solvent that won't damage the PCB underneath

fish flux was used instead of rosin flux for whatever reason back in the day .60s and early 70s electrolytics tend to smell of poo when opened. If one explodes you find the contents have a matching brown colour. Newer ones tend to smell more like rotting fish, so presumably amines are released by whatever witch's potion is in them. The inside are much paler in colour, too. They used an epoxy glue for those SMT electrolytic caps underneath probably the solder they were using was cheap low point Lead solder so it might of been getting hot enough they fell off during proto types because of their weight.
@SyndicateofGamers
@SyndicateofGamers Год назад
Tito, heads up that is a terrible way to remove those caps off the audio board. especially considering these systems caps tend to be badly corroded by the time people get to them, any pressure will rip pads off. the other issue is your method leaves behind the plastic base. the best way to remove these caps is with a hot a hot air station at 380ish degrees C on high air output. takes about 5-8 seconds and they literally just slide off. cleanly, no left behind plastics.

@mcconkeyb
@mcconkeyb 3 года назад
When designing PCBs with larger Capacitors it is very common to glue the components to the PCB before it goes through the IR solder reflow process. This is done due to the fact that the solder pads are just not big enough to support the possible vibration loads of these larger components. I don't think there are any solvents that will take this glue off without doing some major damage to the surrounding PCB. Once we put them on we don't want them to come off, ever. :-) Thus your method of melting the plastic is one of the best, the other methods of removal are careful cutting and scraping, or the use of a small milling machine. You should also point out to your audience that when working on electronics you need to control static discharges that build up in the environment and the person doing the repair work. You should always wear a static dissipating wrist strap.

Thing is, I don't remember the SMD nor tant caps being glued to the board when I did my GG recap. Nor have I seen that on any other system since. It could have been some weird composition of the plastic or heat issue. I don't know what would cause it to stick like that; usually it pops off once the cap is removed, and I doubt they would glue all of the caps down because that would waste money. Well, either way it works. Now to get the screen replaced.
