Game Gear - Install a Cap Kit - The BEST way - Fix it Friday
63In today's video I'm back on the Sega Game Gear that I was working on in Part 1 - • Game Gear Turning Off : Can A Power B... - and performing a full cap kit on it to hopefully fix all the issues.. Will it work?
Welll - in typical 'ME' style, it really doesn't - but I learnt a lot, and hopefully what I did learn will help you should you be trying the same in future!
This is the kit I got from @RetroSix - https://retrosix.co.uk/Game-Gear-Capa...
