Today on Tinker Time DIY, I take up the task of swapping out the original screen on my ASIC 1 Sega Game Gear for the McWill Game Gear screen. This mod is not for the beginner and I would even venture to say this is borderline expert level modding. This should be one of the most detailed installation videos around so I hope you find it helpful.

Specs of the resistors and capacitors needed:
- The size of 200 Ohm is 0805 with 1/8 Watt.
- The 10pF capacitor you can use 25V, 50V, 16V or 6V.
- The 0 Ohm jumper is size 0603 or you can use a small wire to bridge it.
