A common issue with the original Game Gear is the power board failing, the capacitors, transistors or the main IC. Although it can be fixed it has many issues such as a non-standard DC jack that is different per country, it cannot switch power between batteries and DC without resetting the console, and it is old and inefficient.

The CleanPower for the Game Gear works on all Game Gear versions and just drops in without soldering. Simply unscrew your console, unplug the old DC board and plug in the new CleanPower board.

***Shells or Bracket may need minor trimming/modification to ensure perfect closure after installation with bracket.***

USB-C power and can run from the original batteries of the console also. With support for hot-swapping between USB-C and batteries, when the batteries start running low you can plug in a USB-C cable and continue gaming without interruption or power down.
The low power LED that flashes on the Game Gear when the batteries are low will not flash when running off USB-C so it does not distract you from gaming while on USB.
Will run without any batteries inserted if you want to run your Game Gear directly from USB-C only (or perhaps a 20,000mAh battery bank for an entire 24 hours of game play!).
As well as replicating the original power supply requirements the CleanPower GG ramps up its power rails faster, giving cleaner power on for the system.
On board power LEDs give clear indications when the power is OK and going to the Game Gear (green LED) and an LED indicating when the USB-C cable that is plugged in is providing power to the board (orange LED).
The CleanPower GG comes with a 3D printed support to cover the hole between the shell and the USB-C connector for a clean finish.

This board does not charge batteries. For a rechargeable battery and power solution use our CleanJuice GG (coming early 2021).

When using USB-C you can use Power Delivery chargers, standard USB to USB-C chargers such as the generic phone chargers, or any USB power device that can deliver at least 1.5A. Typically the Game Gear needs a boost over 1.5A for a short period like 100ms. Most USB power chargers are ok with a short over current burst so 1.5A power supplies are ok. If you have issues with lower power 1.5A supplies, use a USB-C power supply that can deliver 15W (3A).

Great mod

Works exactly as intended. So much more convenient with USB C. Well worth the money, also great service from Handheld Legend who went out of their way to solve a little issue I had with my kit. Thanks guys' A++ Experience

99% perfect product

Ordered a replacement shell, button, pads, and power board. All good and satisfied. Just modify the power board with a serial charging board which able to charge the lipo battery. Now the GameGear with 2 pcs 124050 3000mah working fine with the TFT LCD.

Life Changing

This product makes it playable! Finally, I don't have to twist and fiddle with the power cord to get it to power on and I can unplug it and it switches to battery and visa versa! So great. Install was easy and shipping quick. Mandatory upgrade, imho.

Amazing solution to a common problem.

I have been collecting game gears for years and power is always an issue with them. Not only do they have problems with their capacitors going bad but the power supplies are also slowly becoming unreliable. This solution solves both problems. Excellent quality components will last for ever and the convenience of charging via USB C means never having to guess about barrel polarity. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to refurb their game gear.

Excellent

Does what its supposed to do! I have a high power battery bank i use it with and it runs at least 5 times longer than what it used to.
Highly recommend
