SEGA Game Gear and Atari Lynx Backlight

The old lighting tubes in the SEGA Game Gear are obsolete in the world of modern electronics. Tube lighting is a major power drain and many bulbs have burnt out or have lost their brightness. With a backlight replacement kit, you can double the battery life of your console, prevent overheating, improve screen brightness and improve the consistency of your LCD screen. This panel is thick to provide optimal light distribution and includes 5 bright SMD LEDs. 

FEATURES:

• Doubles battery life
• Reduced operating temperature over time: Testing shows consoles with hand-Held Legend Game Gear backlights installed had no change to operating temp from start to hour 2. Non-modded consoles show a 40 degree increase in 2 hours!
• Dimensions: 2.2 inches by 2.8 inches.

INCLUDED:

• 1x Game Gear/Lynx 5-LED Backlight
• 1x 33ohm resistor

DOCUMENTATION:

• Install Guide for Game Gear. This guide says a 100ohm resistor is included but it is now a 33ohm resistor.
• This item can also be installed in the Atari Lynx although we do not support this modification. Please install at your own risk. Install guide here by Anubis.

WARNINGS:

• Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.

• LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.
