Today we repair the rarest Sega Game Gear which has ever been seen in real life. It needs to have its capacitors replaced before they leak everywhere and ruin the motherboard beyond repair.

@mr.skeltal8687 4 года назад

Be careful ripping up surface mount caps like that, you’ll end up pulling a pad. heat one leg and lift that side, then you can just do the bendy trick like with the others.

TO ANYONE WANTING TO REPLACE THE CAPACITORS ON THEIR GAME GEAR: Check what board revision you have before you order new capacitors

@mikec4694 4 года назад

Man the way you remove the surface mounted capacitors make me tense cause I tried that once on one of GG's and I tore a few solder pads off had to scratch up the trace leading to it to get a good solder point. I desolder each and every cap individually. Awesome you got the smoked clear GG. I wish the GG had a aftermarket shell so I could put my fully modded GG in.

@TheRetroFuture 4 года назад

There’s a back to it to avoid damage!

@mikec4694 4 года назад

@@TheRetroFuture yes but after the first one I messed up I like to be overly cautious

@VonCreeperTv 4 года назад

If you desolder you can get more easy the caps and dont have chance of broke anything and dontneed do the next step desolder pins of thecap you broke

@geraldv203 4 года назад

Because of corrosion, the more the caps were leaking, the easier this way to remove caps is, thus safer for the PCB. The way the new caps were soldered is much riskier for old hardware : even a slight force applied to the legs can rip off the pads. I think this way came from an old tutorial for beginners in soldering. Always bend legs of a component before solder them, never after. 9:46 If this capacitor is a 85°C one as I suppose, instead of 105°C for the original ones, it's a clear loss of reliability in this DC-DC power section. 10:11 using cotton swab on glass is also questionable as you can scratch the glass with this thing.

@lilpastasalad7837 2 года назад

If you're still looking for a replacement shell, Retrosix makes very nice ones including a translucent black one similar to this smoke variant.
