Having canceled my @xbox.com Game Pass subscription due to the recent price hike, I took the opportunity to finish my #ForzaMotorsport collection, by getting the last title I was missing. This is the only thing I was actively playing on Game Pass at the moment.

After removing all this old garbage, here is the end result, it powers up fine. Both the Mega Drive and the Mega-CD side work well Let's test some more.

Recapped the laser PCB and lubricated the sled and gears. This is a bit finicky to do as the laser is kind of awkward to remove and the PCB with the caps has a couple of short flexes soldered to it. The pickup is a JVC Optima-5 for those wondering.

Recapped the Mega Drive side then removed the various regulators for cleaning, as there were some signs of leakage. Out then back and moved into the next board.

Little did I know I was about to enter into a world of pain. This thing is kind of a pig to disassemble and reassemble.
Nevertheless, onwards we go into a restoration thread. 🧵

Pretty much as advertised, powers on but is otherwise dead as a dodo.

I almost forgot I had these tucked away here. I picked one up to install and free the Mega CD of its region locked shackles.

In with the new laser and voilà. It works, the game boots, FMV does not stutter. All good signs, so far.

Got something in the post today. It's time to install a new KSS-240A in my recently acquired Mega CD model 1.

Game night at the office. Today, along with a Switch, I brought a GameCube along for the folks to enjoy.

This Game Gear had a dim image, even after being recapped. I probed around a bit and then came to the conclusion the bulb was the culprit. Fortunately I had a spare CCFL from a Game Gear in which I installed a BennVenn screen.
Problem solved.
