    Default How to Replace a screen lens for Game Gear?

    I've seen a few import sites with one, but where can I normally find one and how does one go about replacing it?
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    Done my one the other day, i took the unit apart & pushed the lens cover out from the inside - this way it comes out fairly easy & can be reused.
    paid £3.99 with postage from ebay for the screen cover, i also fixed the sound card problem - which is just a 0.32p resistor.

    takes about 20 minutes to take apart.

    Yep, they are quite plentiful on eBay. Make sure you change them quickly, however, so that dust doesn't get trapped inside the cover.
