Fellow vintage computer collector wanted a new LCD put into his GameGear and I volunteered. I love these hand helds and am very happy to be able to help someone enjoy theirs! The BennVenn IPS LCD kit is such a nice upgrade, and it's great to support an Aussie seller! The install is very straightforward, and looks terrific.

I am NOT an expert, I have genuinely NO idea what I'm doing, and mostly just glue things together and use a lot of Google-fu until stuff works. I've been tinkering with electronics since I was a kid but have no formal training and will probably do things incorrectly. If you learn something from this, that's awesome, but trust me - I'm learning too!
