That's awesome! My old Game Gear has a rather poorly screen so replacing it with something like this would give it a whole new lease of life! Now... where did I put it.... 😎👍
The minute that subtitle came up on the screen about the wrong instructions I was dreading the worst! I thought you might be chopping off bits you weren't supposed to! Thank god it all worked out in the end. Phew!
I went through three Game Gears, two I destroyed in a rage! I took special care of my third one, only for the fucking screen to die on me one day! So yeah, I need a new screen like this, oh and an adapter too... Need to sort it out. I've about forty odd games for it! And I honestly loved playing it.
I shipped my Game Gear into WarioParty for a McWill upgrade before I even researched what McWill was. So, here I am checking out what I'm even getting 😂
Where did you get the Instructions for this? I am pulling my teeth out trying to find it. I don't want to be forced to look at a small picture on Ali Express
do you have a link to that screen kit ? would not mind doing that screen mod to mine as screen is on the way out after i had recapped the gg last month and been using it a fair bit as stuck being bed bound for the next 2-3 months since a bike crash
Nice looking screen and upgrade, personal I will be buying one drom a company that i know has been making these for a long time as i want backup juat in case I need it
Great video I see on ebay there’s a v4 kit that has plugged connectors. But looks like you do have to solder some lead wires to some pins. Would this now be the easiest way to install a screen mod in any gamegear? Thanks.
Hello. I installed the same IPS mod. Everything is working but there is only one problem. Start button does not work. Do you know what can cause the issue? Thank you
"As you will probably have experienced if you had one of these back in the day, you can hardly see the screen" Uh, what? It was bright as hell. Maybe it's because I was played with the power adapter? Or maybe it's because your unit is old? I don't remember myself or anyone back then even dreaming of suggesting a game gear's screen was harder to see than a gameboy.

😎👍
It is literally the single best quality of life upgrade I have ever made, definitely do it 😂
It's so great we have the technology to make the screen on a Game Gear _visible_ now.

To be honest I suspect many a person has killed their GG trying to install these 😂
Even the correct instructions were cryptic!
they had 4 themed game gear minis released
I'm not sure how I totally missed those!
Were that practically sized or just a gimmick?
That looks like the exact screwdriver I needed to repair something a few years ago. I gave up looking in the end and threw the thing away.
Oof

It's a remarkable upgrade

If it's the same kit I am sure you will be pleased
That tool opens gbc games also

I think it took an awful lot of googling and even then there were a few different versions. I feel your pain!
@@backofficeshowy not upload the pics
This looks great! I wanted to do this to my Game Gear but unfortunately it released the magic smoke.
NOOOOOOOO 🙀

@@backofficeshow thanks
Nice work!!

Does this screen have better image quality than the original?
Significantly
@@backofficeshow 😎
Would you take on a screen conversion and if so what would you charge? Kind regards.
It's not really something I would do,

Love the video!
Thank you!!

Honestly, I wouldn't know, but I would suggest checking all your work closely
So question: do the capacitors still need to be replaced or is this a way to both update and bypass replacing capacitors?
The capacitor will still need to be replaced
Is there any screen’s solder free because I don’t want to have to mess with it
I'm pretty sure there isn't a soldering free solution
Did you get light bleed?
No, I think it's pretty much perfect
@@backofficeshow great work. I ordered this kit today but didn't realise how close that top edge cut is! Squeaky bum time now.

Maybe bright, but no contrast 😂 They were truly awful. A lot of people think the screens have degraded, but that is how they were from day one
@@backofficeshow The contrast was just fine, too (again, I never really played on battery so maybe there's a difference there).
👍👍👍👍
'Funny playing' 😂
Game gear everything upgrade= analogue pocket
My OCD kicked in when i saw the air bubbles on the screen😂
