Game Gear Turning Off : Can A Power Board Repair Kit Save The Day? Fix It Friday

Ойын-сауық

I got this SEGA Game Gear from eBay - the auction said that it would power up, and then turn off - Is it a faulty power board? Or is something bigger lurking beneath?
Watch and see!
This is the @RetroSix Power Board Repair Kit for the Game Gear - retrosix.co.uk/Game-Gear-Powe... that I used in this video.

    Making a custom Game Gear out of that one would be great to see! Can’t wait for part 2 of this fix.

    It’s quite a rollercoaster!! But yes, I’m quite keen on the idea now - will definitely do it, if I can get it fixed 👀

    I’ve bought a cap kit for my Game Gear as the screen is dim and the sound is very faint. Haven’t done it yet though as it looked to hard and I’m scared of my soldering iron after burning my thumb!
