Dave Poo 2 | SEGA Game Gear - Repair & Screen Upgrade @DavePoo2 | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
My longest video ever, I'm going to take a SEGA Game Gear from eBay (July 2023), from uboxing, repair & doing a RetroSix CleanScreen screen mod upgrade.
Luke from RetroSix has a video about preping the Game Gear for this mod, you can watch that here youtube.com/watch?v=HCtzeOKHTH4 - It's not quite the way I did it, but I did take some advice from that.
Not everything about this mod went to plan, and I had to hand wire the mod (as opposed to using a wire free ribbing kit), so this video is not designed as a tutorial, this is just me going through everything I did to get this working. But if you are hand wiring this mod then it might be some help to you.
It's a long video, so chapter links are provided if you want to skip to the bits you are interested in. You can skip past the uboxing and repairs if you are just interested in the screen mod.
