Hi! Thanks to www.pcbway.com for sponsoring this video.
A kind donation brought this Sega Game Gear into the Basement.
Unfortunately it arrived with a few issues. First of all we need to deal with the capacitor problem that plagues all of these old Game Gears. Once that is out of the way we can tackle the next common problem, the screen!
We use a BennVenn IPS LCD screen kit in this build, and it gives much better results over the stock LCD screen.
Please note, this video is for entertainment purposes only. Don't try any of this yourself.
Thanks for watching. If you would like to support this channel please 'like' and leave a comment. If you are feeling especially generous you can also share the video. But you don't have to, I'm not your mum.

The rotten pads are an absolute soul destroyer. Ive bought many Game Gears and it's hit or if they are fixable. Ive had several where the capacitors have melted too much away to even save the board. Im glad you got through it, and those screens with a new lens make all the hard work worth it.

Yes I’m super happy with the result. Sometime you have to roll the dice on these things, I’m glad it worked out for me this time around. Cheers for the comment!

Wow! Seriously impressive. So close with that heat on the screen ribbon and then no. Roller coaster ride 😂.

That ribbon cables looks like it makes it a lot easier than having to do all the individual wires like I had to when I got the really early prototype years ago.
@TheBasementChannel
@TheBasementChannel Год назад
Yes, although it would have been even easier if there were some sort of instructions 😅 but I do love the neat finish it provides.

Nice work mate. I've also played with heating up the drivers in the original screens and found it never fully revived them. Good choice with the Benn Venn screen.
@TheBasementChannel
@TheBasementChannel Год назад
Yes in hindsight I should have gone straight to the screen replacement, I didn’t realise it was so much better than the original. And they are quite reasonably priced.

Very nice! Great job for the first time with surface mount. Totally agree - only way to get better is to do it! Just remember… flux is your friend :)

One thing I've seen done by other RU-vidrs is snipping the 34v wire from the power ribbon cable. I don't know if it's required but it would suck to be powering stuff you no longer need since you're not using all the circuitry for the CFL.

Good info, I haven’t heard about this but I guess it makes sense?

Nice rebuild. If you were soldering those surface mount components by eye then you did pretty good. By watching Bruce from Branchus Creations' videos, he added a little flux to the pads to allow the solder to flow real easily. Just watch any of his videos and you will get an idea on how he does it. I'm not keen on soldering surface mount components yet, but I may give it a go one day.. maybe...
@TheBasementChannel
@TheBasementChannel Год назад
Thanks for the comment! Yes I’ve watched Bruce’s soldering tutorial, it’s very good. I might need to get a microscope if I do much more of this sort of work!

I replaced the original power board with USB-C board that utilise rechargable batteries. Weight a bit less and more run time. SMD soldering is not so hard, my first try was on the Sega Gamegear as well.
@TheBasementChannel
@TheBasementChannel Год назад
Yes that’s the other mod I’m considering. Still wondering how much money I want to spend on it 😂

Nice work. How long does the battery last with this lcd screen?
@TheBasementChannel
@TheBasementChannel Год назад
Thanks! I’ve only used it connected to the power adapter, but I imagine it should last a bit longer than before without the huge power hungry backlight array.
