Hey again everyone,
I just finished replacing all the Capacitors in my Game gear, which came out great! Just one question.
When I listen to the audio with headphones the sound is in just one channel. Figured this would get fixed during the process. But didn't.

So is there anything I can do about this. Or should I just use another audio board? (I do have another one to mess around with)

Probably just need to reflow the solder on the headphone jack.

Just tried that. No improvement. If I plug the headphone in half way I get both channels (though I'm not sure if thats just picking up one channel on both speakers).
So maybe this thing just needs to be cleaned or something.

Did you replace all the caps on the sound board the 3x 100uf 6.3v
and did you clean the board before doing anything else.

All the Caps are replaced. Had the problem before and after which stumped me.

However I got it working. Blasted some compressed air and electric cleaner inside the headphone jack. I ran out of both before hand and was unable to give it a shot till last night. Guess in the end it was a little dirty:/
