Hey guys, I'm following a bid on a game Gear but the seller has just edited the Listing on the condition and it says now that it doesn't have sound. Is it hard to repair this, or someone knows what can cause the sound not to work? I'm asking because if it's not hard to repair this I will buy it. Remember that I don't know to much of electronics. Also, changing lcd to led and capacitor, is it hard for a person without knowledge of electronics to do this? I only have 5 hours to decide if I go ;D Thanks |

Usually it's capacitors, but no sound might mean broken speaker or loose cable too. Changing capacitor should not be hard as the soldering points are quite big, right? If really cheap go for it. |

You can get a kit from Console 5 to fix it for fairly cheap. As for a new LCD, I've not seen anyone put a modern LCD in a Game Gear. |

Its pretty easy to change the capacitors, the kit like ^ said is nice and complete, and there are quite a few how-to threads that have good pictures of what to do. I use a simple soldering iron from parts store, like 5 bucks and have repaired many game gears / game boys/ etc. always good to have a little solder experience. For instance, I bought a genesis off ebay a few weeks ago. Power led was not working, i toke case apart and the led solder had broken. 3 seconds later, and good as new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6WhTFskI1o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGDyYRNwFY4 |

Thanks guys, the capacitors and the lcd I want to change it but the game Gear is working the only problem is sound. Right now is in 10 dollar, 1 bid and 2 hours left. So, game Gear with no sound and 2 games how much should I pay? I have read here that lcd can be changed to led, right? |
