Want to pay someone to recap some Gameboy mobos for me

[pixeljunkie]

I have anywhere from one to four DMG motherboards I'd like recapped. They all work great, but the sound is starting to crackle on some.

Anyone here wanna do that? Also how much would you charge me? I can also trade as well, tons of PSP, SNES, SFC games blah blah

Hit me up.

 

[Neodogg]

Are the caps all through hole or surface mount?

Trades:

Sound crackling is probably a dirty volume pot. You might be able to fix them by spraying them with Deoxit.

Capped any number of these. Happy to do it for you if you send the kits and pay for shipping.

 

[Neo Alec]

Nice. I'm surprised anyone here offered to cap anything. Most of the time people asking to get their systems serviced is like shouting into a vacuum.

I have a ton of probably semi-broken arcade PCB's I'm probably never going to make time to fix. It's a lot to get someone to fix them though. Don't even get me started on CRTs.

Yeah, I know people are weird about these things. I really love doing this shit though, and I am seriously offering to do it for free.

I’m happy to show you around my bench and show examples of other work I’ve done too. Holler via pm if interested.

well I think recapping a game boy is miles easier than fixing an arcade pcb Alec

Disagree. Most of my games probably just need recapping, and arcade boards are larger and meant to be worked on by techs.

Dude, you’re comparing “replace throughhole capacitors” with “diagnose and fix this problem on a huge single-use pcb”. There’s no discussion here.

“Probably”?

I'm just talking about recapping for now.
