Game Gear Capacitor Questions

[ReddMcKnight]

1. My Game Gear Screen Contrast needs to be turned up to around the middle to see the screen, and it's dark at that point. Time to replace the capacitors, or not?

2. Is it a simple task for someone who can solder Game Boy Cart Batteries to a Board, or no?

The soldering points are much smaller than the pads for batteries so you need to have a nice clean tip and a bit more care is needed to make sure you only solder to those smaller points without heating up any of the other components in the area. Watch a couple of videos on how to do it and open up and look at what the board looks like and check with your iron cold if you think you can get in there carefully enough.
