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.

Two heavily contaminated Sega Game Gears, so badly that components were falling off the boards from the electrolyte. Many hours in, one has a partially defective screen and the other boots and plays audio with no picture. A partial result after a massive effort.

Dead Sega Mega-CD 2 that turned out to have a single blown fuse. Fuse replaced, region-free BIOS installed, then fully recapped in a follow-up session. Also tidied up some interesting factory bodge cap placements along the way.
