Hi all. I found a very very cheap Genesis 3 and looking to mod it with a power LED and dilly around with the power to see what I can do without a brick AC cable. What would be the harm in de-soldering the old transistor off and just wire in a new 2N4401 Transistor on to it? wouldn't it supply the power needed? Im sure the power brick sends the correct voltage and mA to the unit but is there any other way to regulate it? I know it probably wont be very good to do this but will it just fry it? Just a question. thanks!
Also planning on AV/S-Video modding it and any other cool mods would be awesome to know about.. so lay it on me. I'm still wanting to be able to use the 32x on it as well but cant find the plans on how the one guy that did it. Some wires added or some jazz.
