Trying To Fix... A Sega Game Gear. - Pt 2 - [New LCD screen installation]

- I bought a Sega Game Gear some years ago from a car boot sale.
It pretty much sat in a box in the attic since then.
In a previous video we repaired the audio board, power supply board and the main board but unfortunately the original LCD screen was beyond repair.
I managed to get hold of a replacement screen so let's try and fit it and get it back to full working order.... oh and mistakes WERE made!......

Screen looks good and a reasonable price as well 👍
Thanks Vince 👍Yes and it seems a lot easier to install than the one you had all the hassle with.
Nice, enjoy the GameGear. It's so much more fun with a modern LCD😊
Thanks No1BRC, yes it looks much better, and it's nice its all up and working again 👍
The LCD makes a huge difference on the Game Gear, great job on the install, and I was wondering about the film when you put the screen in, but I came to the conclusion that you where test fitting 😊
Yes.. mistakes were made 😂😂😂😂
Great fix, nice to see it working again. I have now watched all of your videos, what am I going to do now? Lol. Looking forward to the next round of fixes 😊👍 good luck
Awesome, thank you!👍
@@BuyitFixit been enjoying the videos. Working through them all now. I will be sad once I watch them all and have to wait for the next. Keep up the great work. Very enjoyable. I am surprised this channel has not exploded. Maybe it will since it just started showing up as recommended.
Nice repair/upgrade!
Thanks SP, was glad to get it up and running again 👍
LOVE the Double Dope. I had a bit of that myself, Yesterday, mowing the Lawn, cutting close to lay some more radials down for my DX Commander 12m antenna, caught a guy line and bought it crashing down, split in half. Today going to Heathrow to overnight and pick mate up Tomorrow, turns out when we asked him when he was coming back he said 24th May, he MEANT getting on plane in Australia 24th May which means he will arrive UK 25th May. we were at Membrey services before we worked it out, around 180 Miles for a Burger, did get my hair cut on the way back though. So off to the Smoke again Tomorrow :-)
Nightmare. I've still not heard anything nathan...
Good Vid. In micro repair BLU TACK to hold components/ PCB boards etc is your best friend. Assume its called same thing in UK? I even use it in "normal" full size repair to hold components on opposite side PCB whilst solder in on other side...Cheers
Thanks 👍I was using blu-tack a few weeks ago in a video to do the exact same thing 🙂👍
Nice fix
Thanks Simion 👍
The new lens has a different size viewing hole to compensate for the bigger screen. That's why it was included.
also love your videos glad i found them
Thanks William I'll take a look at that 👍
Thanks for letting me know. Really appreciate the feedback 👍
Hi William, I've compared the two bezels and both are the same size opening. The newer bezel is very slightly smaller opening of about 1mm difference, and the writing is indeed of poor quality compared to the original screen. The angled bezel for the LCD is actually part of the top side of the case.
Strange, yours must of been a different varient of the screen than i got. The ips I put on my gamegear had the lense with no writing but a bigger opening. I had hoped they just updated it to make it (slightly) more official looking lol. (p.s. my bulb died AND one third of the screen did I ended up in a my mate Vince senario lol sound still doesn't work.)
I knew you would do it well done it looks fab thanks for the upload 😊
Thanks Cucumber Man!
@@BuyitFixit you’re welcome you do a great job
@@wisher21uk Aww thanks man 👍
Amigo! Muito obrigado pelo seu vídeo! Super completo e detalhado, me ajudou de verdade, grande abraço e excelente trabalho!
Great video again 😁👏👏😁
Thanks Frozerinos Repairs 👍
Hi. Love watching your fixes. I have a Wansview inside camera. It's worked fine until we had 5 power cuts on a row. I decided to have a go. But unfortunately I knocked off a connector. That's not the problem. Would younbe interested in having a look? If how do I arrange to get it to you please?
Many thanks Martin
Hi Martin, Thanks 👍You can drop me an email at the channels name at out look dot com.
At 14:50, didn't take plastic off the screen.
I'm sure I did later on in the video 🙂👍
That bulb probably uses a ton of the batteries, just getting rid of that probably gives you twice the play time! Do they sell a mod for video out? I remember one streamer payed bank for one to be installed, not sure if it was because no one made kits or he just didn't know how to solder at all.
Yes, totally agree the battery life should last a lot longer. I'm not sure about video out, but the mod I used and other mods have a VGA output, although VGA isn't commonly used that much these days.
where did you buy this mod? the board is really different from the one I usually mount. nice video 😉
Hi mate,Thanks 👍 It's from AliExpress www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004588498921.html Hope that helps 👍
@@BuyitFixit nice, i'll try it. i think is better compare to solder every single wire for all the points needed. thanks a lot
You're very welcome. Yes that was partly the reason I chose that one as it looked an easier install.
Great video. Do u by any chance offer this as a service as i have a recapped gamegear that needs a new screen
Sorry, unfortunately not as this was a device that I already owned. If you have already re-capped it, then fitting this version of screen wasnt actually too hard. I'd say about as hard as recapping it. And at least you have a video now to copy from 👍
LCD display. . Otherwise known as liquid crystal display display.
Yes, someone else said similar.
You soldered every marked pin apart from number 68. Didn't that one need doing?
I think it was needed depending on the revision of Game gear it was being fitted to.
