Sega Game Gear Japanese: IPS LCD, FM, Flex Cable Fix

This Japanese Sega Game Gear went through a lot: a full IPS LCD mod with speaker upgrade, FM sound module and glass lens, then a trip to the floor courtesy of a curious one-year-old that tore the flex cables. A clock-line bodge wire and a barely-surviving TP10 pad later, everything was restored.

Nintendo Handheld Screen Repairs: 2DS, New 3DS XL & New 2DS XL

Three handhelds bought on eBay in 2020 to learn on. The New 2DS XL only needed its connectors reseating, while the 2DS and the New 3DS XL both needed screen replacements, the 3DS XL top screen being much the harder job, with corrosion and a break turning up on a flex cable along the way. All were put back to working order and given CFW, and two went on to new owners.
