Capacitors came in, All refurbished, fully recapped and 100 percent functional. Now I wait on the mod boards and screens...4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Finally got it running and got to try these out. I thought Halley wars was good but Power strike 2 blows it away. I still think it has 1 beat though. Mega man runs smooth too. Satisfied so far.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Maybe you can see what I'm going for here. I'm using a GGTV board to make a gg console out of a gg with a bad screen. I thought I'd try to replace the lcd to see it could still be functional both ways. It's lookin possible, the parts are still less than a mcwill clone kit.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Took a ride to stoneagegamer with my buddy today and picked this up. Can't wait.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Here is an easier rechargeable battery idea if you don't have a power back or don't feel like choppin one up. Nothin a little Velcro strip or some double sided tape can't solve.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
The first Va4 game gear that I was able get working. I had 2 others but the screens were bad and these boards are unmoddable. This version has a different lcd in it than other versions and you can tell. There is like no motion blur. I finally have a fully functional and all original game gear.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
My first Japanese game gear. It was in rough shape. The volume wheel was snapped off. The power board was soaked in what looked like pop. And I was getting zero back light or screen when I used my test back but I was getting steady power to the led and sound from the game.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Unfreakingbelievable! I almost gave up on this one. It was working after recap but it was only displaying white screen, you could kind of see the game but everything was varying shades of white. When I touched the brightness wheel it started flickering good back to white screen so I swapped it.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Experiment failed! The lcd got no power with the brightness control wired up, stone dead. Unhooked the wires, still the same. Someone posted a comment on my mod board post saying they had to put a 75 ohm resistor in place of the wires to get his working so I just bridged the pads. Results!4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
My personal game gear and the games that I have gathered up so far.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
An unfinished or in progress GGTV board install with a rigged 5 inch TFT LCD screen, this is without the RGB out wired up yet just composite going straight to the LCD.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Another one down, It had the same problem as the rest of the blue ones I've worked on. The 2, 0.47uf video capacitors. I got a grey one with it and it needs a full recap just to see if it functions and if not so I can diagnose the issue or issues.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
Sorry but I had to show it. I thought the ones I previously referbed were bad. Luckily the board doesn't seem too bad, I mean rough but surprisingly better than I expected. I don't think I want to even bother with this shell. I'll check the boards for signs of life but that case is off limits.4yr ⋅ Happenstance432 ⋅ r/game_gear
