Scrap Sega Game Gear Recap: Why Is It Still Dead? (Part 1)
About this video
Still dead after someone else recapped it, this scrap Game Gear (dual ASIC VA0 board) is stripped, cleaned of leftover electrolyte and recapped again, though part 1 ends unresolved.
Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead. Part 1 of a series with no fix yet.
Why watch it
A Game Gear that stays dead after a recap is the case here, with the earlier work on this board described as rough. The maker notes that capacitors normally cure most faults.
