I have a game gear and it looks like the same problem how would I go about fixing it what would I need I have someone who could fix it from watching your video
Looking for help. After replacing all caps my game gear turns on no problem but if I put screen to full brightness it turns off. Brand new batteries. Appreciate any help.
I found my old GameGear while going through stuff in the basement. It stopped working as a child and I never opened it.... watching your video has me wanting to open it. My only concern is I'd love to find the correct size capacitors to fit in there so I don't have to lay things down. It's been a long time since I've soldiered or frankly even read a capacitor so I'm not sure I'll even remember how to figure out the correct values. Time to find your other video and see how detailed that is 🙂
that indeed is great news, because if it gets power for half a second and powers off, its 99% sure the caps that have to be replaced. If it is entirely dead you never know if replacing the caps will do the trick.
mines not working either. opened it up and everything looks really clean. no sign of leakage anywhere, caps look fine. prob still gonna recap anyway. on the off chance that its not the caps what else could be wrong with a non working gg?
No disrespect here, but are you and intermediate or something? All that rerouting on the power board was for none. The oxidation needed to be scraped off gently and the pads would of been just fine.
its a good question. It depends on ALOT of things. Such as Type of component, layout of board, your tool etc. However i start at 435c for my base and adjust as needed. (either up or down) But generally for most boards this seems to work for me
