    ATTENTION ! Installing the LCD replacement is on your own risk! Your Game Gear could be damaged,
    if you are not able to do this modification!
    Liability impossible!
    Required materials:
    GG-kit, VGA connector with screws, 24 wires round about 15 cm (6 inches) length (old IDE cable)

    1. Step: Remove not needed Parts and 5 Volt check


    ATTENTION ! Make sure that all power is off. Disconnect ALL cables.
    1. Remove R33, R34, R32, R57, R56, R41, R38, R44 and R43 (9 resistors)
    2. Remove L2 coil
    3. Remove Q6, Q4 and Q3 transistors
    4. Remove C69 and C70 capacitors
    5. Remove LCD; peel off the ribbon cable carefully from the GG PCB like tape
    6. Remove middle plastic screw-mounting of the upper housing with pliers
    7. Remove CFL Lamp and fuses FU1 and FU2
    8. Replace R13, R14, R15 and R16 with 0 Ohm / bridge
    !!! Now check the 5 Volt with a voltmeter at VCC / GND of the Game Gear. If the
    voltage exceeds 5.45 Volt, fix your GG! Otherwise the GG mod will be damaged!

    2. Step: VGA connector (if needed)
    Now solder the other side of the wires to the GG mod.

    Connect the pins 6, 7 and 8 together.


    Solder 6 wires to the pins 1, 2, 3, 13,
    14 and (6, 7, 8) to the VGA connector.

    !!! ATTENTION !!!


    Don't damage the ribbon cable / FPC of the LCD !
    You may disconnect the FPC, but don't forget
    connecting it correct after soldering.

    !! Use hot glue for the internal screws of VGA connector. Otherwise the screws may cause short circuit !!
    3. Step: Slide the GG mod onto the GG PCB and solder data lines

    First solder 1 wire to VCC of the GG mod and 1 wire to GND of


    the GG mod and leave the other ends. Now slide the GG mod
    onto the Game Gear PCB and solder the 2 wires VCC and GND
    of the GG mod to the Game Gear PCB. DON'T MIX THEM UP!!!
    Solder 1 wire from T10 to the lower pad of R23 on the GG Board.
    Now solder 1 wire from CLK_32MHz of the GG mod to FB1 on the Game Gear PCB. Then solder 1 wire
    from GG / SMS of the GG mod to PIN 42 of the Game Gear cartridge port.
    Solder also 1 wire from TV of the GG mod kit to
    PIN 43 of the Game Gear cartridge port.
    Solder 4 wires from BUT1, BUT2, BUT3 and
    BUT_UP of the GG mod to BUT1, BUT2, BUT3
    and BUT_UP of the Game Gear PCB.
    (If you don't use the VGA out, you don't need to
    solder the wire BUT_UP).
    Solder 1 wire from BACKLIGHT (BL left) of the
    GG mod to PIN1 of the thumbwheel and 1 wire
    from BACKLIGHT (BL right) of the GG mod to
    PIN 2 of the thumbwheel.
    Then solder 1 wire from CSync of the GG mod
    to T2 of the GG PCB.
    Last step is to solder 6 wires from the old LCD
    ribbon CL2 (PIN9), D1 (PIN16), D0 (PIN18), DW (PIN20), D2 (PIN39) and D3 (PIN57) to CL2, D1, D0, DW,
    D2 and D3 of the GG mod. !!! At last check all connections again !!!
    You can switch scanlines, retro-style and scaling ON / OFF by pressing the buttons START, FIRE1
    and FIRE2 together and hold. For switching to VGA mode you need to hold START and button UP.
    --- BTW: If you want to use an 3.5" IPS LCD, put a solder blob onto jumper JMP1! ---
