Hello everyone, I have the problem where game gear will turn off as soon as I turn it on and decided to replace all the caps on the main board. After doing that, I still have the exact same problem. For some reason, the current doesn't even make it to the power indicator led. I don't think there is a problem with the power board since I tried it on an other game gear (another broken game gear) and it stayed on (although it didn't show anything). Any ideas :( ?
Traces were destroyed by the fluid that leaked from the original capacitors. Once you repair them it will work properly.
I've spent one year restoring one unit... Once all (about 10 traces) were found and mended it worked instantly.
