This cap kit for the Game Gear contains all parts necessary to replace the electrolytic capacitors of any VA1 and VA0 model Game Gears.

All caps are included for the:

Main PCB
Sound PCB
Power PCB

This kit replaces surface mount with radial lead capacitors

If you have a really early Japanese VA1 with sound PCB 837-7400-01, this may not be the best capacitor kit for this version.

INCLUDED:

1x Capacitor Kit

DOCUMENTATION:

Console5 Wiki - contains cap list and values.

NOTES:

Some replacement caps may have higher voltage ratings than the original parts (e.g. 100uF 10v instead of 100uF 6.3v)
For easier installation of SMD-type Audio PCB caps with a soldering iron, the plastic spacer on the bottom of the cap can be clipped off, giving extra space to fit the soldering iron & solder.
Product history: 2018-06 - Changed audio PCB caps to surface mount.
Unless noted in the description, all Console5 products are fully tested and guaranteed. Cap kits are made using name brand, high quality, high-temp parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, and other reputable companies.
This kit replaces the obsolete main board surface mount with radial lead capacitors. New surface-mount style caps are included for the audio & main boards where originally equipped.

My Game Gear works once again, would be nice if it came with instructions

The kit works well. I was able to identify and change out all the capacitors but it would be nice if it included a list or a layout as this could have sped up the project. I did not have access to the Wiki when I was doing this mod and a printout would have been nice. Not an issue but this is re-sold from another company. The price was the same so no issue there.

Easy to use and install

Even though a lot of the original capacitors are weird rectangular shapes, the cylindrical ones in this kit are either the same size or smaller so they fit right in place. I will definitely get more in the future when I need them.

Restored my non-working VA1 Game Gear!!

I had purchased a VA1 Sega Game Gear that didn't power on or anything. Figured I'd attempt a recap first and go from there. Purchased this kit and recapped the sound board, power board, and motherboard and it works perfect (minus a few dead pixels in the screen). My only complaint is the little square capacitors used for the sound board. I don't have a ton of soldering experience so those were a little difficult for me. But if you remove all the old ones first and then install the new ones you have more room to work and it makes it a little easier. I was doing them 1 by 1 on the power board and motherboard. This job definitely requires a steady hand and some patience! Overall great kit though, it included everything I needed and the Game Gear works again! Highly recommend.

Product did exactly what I had hoped. Can now play.

Had power and sound but no picture. Replaced caps and now it works. Will probably upgrade screen as it is still washed out. It did take a couple more days to receive my shipment than I’d hoped but that’s just me being eager to tinker.
