NOTE: this class overlapped with another class so it has been moved. We will finalize its date closer to the start of May.
Learn how to replace capacitors and other 2 way parts. You will need some experience in soldering.
The project is focused on replacing caps within a Sega Game Gear. It will not be a complete teardown or repair. We discuss parts and help you start the repair. However, students will be on their own time at home to complete the rest of the Game Gear project.
This second soldering class is for beginning to intermediate students. We will avoid non-related topics for game repair for this class. If you have not soldered before, please sign up for the Learn to Solder I class.
Replacing and Soldering capacitors for a Sega Game Gear:
- soldering info and techniques
- how to plan for repair
- how to replace the actual capacitors on the board
