    Default My Sega Nomad has a busted speaker. Help!

    It sounds like absolute shit! How hard is it to replace the speaker on this thing? Where do I find one? Help me, please!!!

    I received a Nomad once with this same problem. I ended up taking the speaker out of an original game boy & using it instead. The mounting needs to be modified a little, but it ends up being a decent fit. The sound has a tad more hiss to it now, but otherwise works and sounds fine. Maybe a Game Gear speaker would be a closer substitute.

    Was it hard to do?

    Not if you can solder & whittle.

    Having the proper gamebit to open the Nomad helps, too.
