Game Gear Screen Fix

[helsinkirocks]

Hey guys, my Game Gear now has busted screen capacitors, but I'm to much of a soldering n00b, and not knowledgeable enough to fix it myself... If someone would be awesome enough to fix it for me, I would cover shipping both ways, and cost of parts. Just send me a message if you're interested in helping out...The screen has lots of ghosting, looks odd from most angles, even with adjusting contrast, and has a black bar across it, but oddly enough, the sound still works perfectly.

I know I don't post here much, but I'm going to try and be more active. :O

Where are you from?...

Pretty sure it's Helsinki, but you never know...

EDIT Went through your previous comments and found out it's Ohio.

On top of that, another 'will ship to US only' seller. Grmpf...

I could've fixed it for you, but I'm from Belgium. Shipping would probably be too expensive.

And you don't ship to me anyway... lol

this stuff worked before i decided to finally learn how to solder.

It's not the best solution, but it has repaired some of my old old systems.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that stuff even where I live?...

How does one reserve beer?

If you're really serious, I could look into it. But I tell you, that is going to be one Hell of an expensive beer after calling them multiple times, going there with public transport, shipping to the US...

hahaha I do really appreciate the offer!
but that's alright. I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled stateside.

Good luck with that...

They only shipped them out once to raise money to fix their church.

Charged 85 bucks for six bottles and two commemorative glasses...

Highly unlikely they will do that again in the first few years.

Yeah... I know
one of these:


I just did a search and go figure, a store in the next town over from me had some for sale earlier today. I bet they are long gone by now

Hey guys, I'll PM him thanks.

As for international shipping, I would do it, but it's way to expensive. I shipped a boxed NES game to a finnish friend of mine and it was almost $30!
