Didnt even know this channel existed. You should definitely advertise it on the main
-
Loving these long format videos. Thank you for sharing them! One note, worth throwing a link to your main channel in the description for new people finding this channel before your main. Long time viewer/subscriber, thank you for all the helpful and insightful videos.
-
These longer format videos are superb - much prefer these to the shorter variant 👍👍👍
-
The channel nobody asked for but everyone needed, thank you Steve and wish you good health 💪
-
Loving the longer videos, Steve. I didn’t know you had another channel… luckily the algorithm got me here.
-
Gave me a big smile when I heard that "Sega" sound.
-
Thanks for the long format. I love it. On the recap, I’m surprised that you didn’t clean up the old cap ‘juice’ from the board before you put new caps over the top of it.
-
I'm so excited to have these in longer format videos. Also, i wonder if Coke can clean up (removed) battery terminals.
-
I added the McWill screen upgrade to my Game Gear. It's like night and day. You should check it out if you ever get a chance.
-
excellent video. That sonic game brings back huge memories of my childhood. my brother and I each had a game gear which I still have mine. We stayed up late playing it all night.
-
Everytime that you try something that you've been working on and it turns on, I celebrate it like a goal :) Greetings from Chile, I'm happy because I found this channel!
-
Great vid. So glad someone is out there trying to fix these great retro systems. Id love to get a game gear for my collection one day.
-
Another great video. You explain things perfectly and show what you are doing and where to find more info . Thank you for uploading and giving me the confidence to clean and take apart my SNES . It’s getting the UV treatment as I type . Take care and thank you again. Looking forward to more videos. ✌️

This is fantastic. Extended length. Love it. Subscribed

This brings back some serious nostalgia! I had the same blue Game Gear with the case and everything...I spent most of my time with it sitting by a power outlet because it would destroy AA batteries so fast! After like a year or so my parents finally bought me a bunch of rechargeable batteries so that I could actually afford to use it on road trips and stuff...
-
Thank you so much for fixing Game Gears. I will be releasing a brand new Game Gear game with the help of a publisher this year ! :)
-
I love these long forms! I’m always looking for more tronicsfix and restorish content
-
Steve, great health wishes first! For the short circuit board, why wouldn't you inject voltage, like 1V, and look for heat spot. You can use thermal camera if you one, or the atomizer, or if you got no of these use 95+% isopropyl alcohol and look for a spot where it evaporates fast. This board must be saved!
-
Love how far our tech has come replacing parts with more efficient and more compact replacements
-
Love the long form videos... I understand that you are not really a modder... But these game gear are perfect candidates for Screen Mods.
