Game Gear - No Power - Fixing eBay Junk

About this video

Old batteries left inside a Game Gear have corroded its terminals, and the console will not power up. The maker opens it, cleans the damage and gets it working.

Good to know: Leaked battery residue is corrosive, so keep it off skin and eyes. Isopropyl and other solvents are flammable and need ventilation. Any soldering burns, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

The maker names corroded battery terminals as the biggest problem, so this starts from the battery compartment, a place to look first on any Game Gear that shows no power.
