  I had to replace them in my personal system too. I ended up breaking the glue connection like you, then I just cut the legs of the old caps. Then cleaned up the pads and removed the rest of the legs from the solder pads. Did one cap at a time and it fixed the issue.

  A perfect candidate for a backlight screen mod!

  You did a masterful job of that, well done you. Can't wait to see the follow up.

  Game Gears are such a gamble whether or not they'll even work properly after you recap them. Buying a few like you did is the only way to guarantee you'll end up with at least one working system.

  Great job! An aftermarket screen for the GG is a good idea anyways, the original screen has ghosting like there’s no tomorrow and with an IPS screen you can remove the tube light. Without that tube the battery life increases a lot :-) Can’t wait for part two!

  Yet another reason I love this channel- all the off-hand knowledge. I had no idea the Game Gears were made to such exacting standards. Hope three's enough for you to get at least one out of the deal. Entertaining as always, and enjoy the rest of your week.

  This console was my childhood. It was the only console I owned. I did have an amazing Amiga computer, but this was my window into Sega and stuff. They broke my heart too many times as an adult though. If you love repairing stuff, its a great thing to get into.

  I have about 8 Game Gears, the ones I've repaired for use also got an updated aftermarket LCD, it makes a huge difference.
