Edward V. ★★★★★

Fixed my dead screen in about 20 minutes with this kit — the caps all matched the original values perfectly and the solder pads lined up exactly. My Game Gear is back to crisp, clear gameplay now.

Ruby ★★★★★

Popped these into my VA1 Game Gear and the screen flicker is completely gone now. The caps fit perfectly on both the main and sound PCBs, and my system sounds crisp again. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

Ella ★★★★★

My Game Gear's sound was all crackly, but after swapping in this kit the audio's crystal clear. The caps fit exactly on both PCB boards and brought my console back to life.
