Developed under the name "Project Mercury", the Game Gear was the primary competition to the Game Boy, the Atari Lynx and the TurboExpress.
It shared much of its hardware with the Master System, and can play Master System games by use of an adapter. Sega positioned the Game Gear, which had a full-color backlit screen with a landscape format, as a technologically superior handheld to the Game Boy.
The Game Gear was notorious for bad capacitors, which means almost no Game Gears exist in the wild that work without repair.
This kit comes with all the capacitors needed to fix EVERY VERSION of your Game Gear:
Soldering skills required, small components may be difficult for beginners. Simply remove all old aluminium capacitors from the board, and install the same value capacitors in their place.
Installation instructions can be found for this kit below:

It was labeled well, and the instructions were easy to follow
Great kit. Went on super easy. Everything fit without having to align at weird angles. Didn't have to bend any legs. If only getting the caps off had been this easy.
I use ceramic caps in most of cap replacements, beats messing with electrolytic caps and polarities. Plus they will never leak. In this kit I had left over 100 and 10 caps, redoing a one-chip game gear. Paired with clean screen, clean amp, and recharge mod.
Caps seemed good for a few days then stopped working again. Double checked my install and it's fine. Only problem is the power board caps....
