Well, i have decided to start making/modifying some things.
As some of you know, my first intent will be making a switch box with at least 16 component and composite intakes and later on some RF.
I'm making this with the help of Dr. Agon, without his help a think I wouldn't make this, so thanks for all the help and info you gave me.
Now with the pictures of the process and at what point am I.
I will try first with 3 inputs, then I will add the rest.
Composite Switches with solder cables

Box that I will use

Audio cables in place before soldering

Switches solder in place just missing the grounds.

Holes where the switches goes. (Plastic still not in place)

Just missing soldering the ground, putting everything in place and painting the box black.
The inputs and output will be on the inside of the box, not visible from the outside.
Thanks again to Dr. Agon
I will continue posting again later.

Cool, looking good so far, 8)
-
There's a mess of cables lol :P
-
When you're done with this, I can't wait for you to make me one. ;)
-
;D

Grounds are solder, all in place

Switches in place, box closed

aaannnnndddd it worked ;D 8)
@Dr.Agon: i will send you a PM wih another question :P, i have an idea on how to fix the mess of those cables.
@Taketheword: after i finish this and the mess of the cables are solved i'll see what i can do ;)
-
Looking forward to seeing the finished project. :D

Cool, always happy to help a fellow mad scientist! Bring it on, LOL!

You know, if you want a tidy laser cut plate for all those switches, it would take about 5 minutes to laser cut that for you. All I would need are some rough dimensions.

Later on I will se if I tell you ;) thanks

So, I have discover that i can't solder as well as i thought. I have solder all the capacitors on the game gear, apart from soldering everything as a mess, the game gear still won't show image. Now is brighter than before, but nada of image.
I will have to go back and check
-
What could I have done wrong with the capacitors?
All of them feels like they are solder and believe me they look that way also (messy). When soldering some time the capators for really hot, can that damage the capacitors and I still have the same problem as before?
-
If you have too much solder, you might be connecting the caps to something else on the board causing a short.

i checked while i was soldering and before closing, and there wasn't any solder touching ather things. but i'll double check again, just in case.
-
You probably either a) built some little bridges, or b) have weak joints. Lots of solder =/= good joint. I recommend getting some flux and re-flowing the whole thing.

A) I have checked that and that's not the problem.
B)don't understand that part. Can you clarify me a little bit not :)
When I bought the game gear it had a brown screen when turn on, now I have this
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/7457/e357r60397qg5px5g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?e357r60397qg5px)
In the white lines I can see movements of the game like flashes but no image.
-
Looks like a dead screen to me...

In dead screen, can I see the movements of the game?
Not been sarcastic, is a real question? :P

I'll get back to you tonight, when I'm in front of a computer

just so you know, i have no idea how the technology works, and i don't really want to spend the time to find out, but...
a quick google search shows lots of broken screens that still somehow partly show images, including this one;
(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy106/gameathlon/th_IMG_20160407_172818_zpsx03qagbt.jpg) (http://s782.photobucket.com/user/gameathlon/media/IMG_20160407_172818_zpsx03qagbt.jpg.html)
so you could have a broken screen that still partly shows images, despite everything else working...
( i could be entirely wrong though )
there's a couple of replacement LCD mods for game gear out there...

I will try this first to see if it's the screen.

i will like to have this one without mods ;). planning on buying others that i will make mods
-
So, , I try the same thing on the video and it seems that the problem is the screen as Dr. Agon mention. Now it present image but it has some weird vertical lines that won't go off. After half fix the screen ( i couldn't solve the vertical lines), to see the clear image I have to lean forward the game gear.
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a9f4/00t7bgpk825id385g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?00t7bgpk825id38)
Any suggestions?
At the end I will have to change the screen, where can I find the same screen that the game gear uses? I only find the LED one
-
you can't.
Unless you take one from another GG :(

Well I think I will have to go with the mode. And then buy one with the original screen to keep it
I found this on YouTube and I like it. I like this option at 26:56. But don't like at 27:52. Also don't know where to buy it.

Any recommendation on a new screen? Lcd or LED I don't mind right now

The guy who sells The screen on the video I linked lives in Germany so that won't work for me.
Any recommendation on which screen can I buy and where?
Thanks in advance

I have search on ebay, amazon and google and came with nothing, just with Mcwill (The guy on Germany, the one on the video). I wrote him, but i' m still waiting for his reply.
Any other options that you guys know?
Thanks

He's in Australia, so shipping may be easier, there not perfect, but any thing's better than nothing...
