Modding & Restoration

Mod RGB, mod HDMI (PS1, N64, GameCube), modchip Wii/PS2, IPS Game Boy screen, backup batteries, picofly Switch.

Quality of Sourced Pieces

FAQ Console Returns

The questions we are asked most often

Are you really planning to repair the 30 year old consoles?
NES, Master System, Mega Drive, SNES, N64, GameCube: these machines are solid but their condensers release, their backup batteries die, their disc players use.
What is recapping?
On Sega (Mega Drive, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast), Apple, Macintosh old, and many 90s cards, these caps flee with time and their electrolyte rush the map. They must all be replaced before corrosion kills the tracks.

Yes. on the classic Game Boy (DMG-01), Pocket, Color, GBA and GBA SP. Several brands according to budget (FunnyPlaying, RetroPixel, Hispeedido).
What about Pokémon Gold/Silver backup that doesn’t hold anymore?
CR1616/CR2025 dead button on the cartouche.The waste battery is dissolved, a new battery is resounded, the existing backup is kept (if it is still there) or warned before intervention. 95% of the cartouches are returning to life.
