Once tried to paint my front door and fucked it up so badly that a professional had to sand it down. Cost me more than a workman would have done in the first place.

    It was a short lived success, and probably ill-advised - but it felt great when I took the sound board from a Game Gear that had sound but no video, and put it into a Game Gear that had video but no sound.

    Of course, the real repair would be to fix the capacitors, would be a lot more involved… But I at least made it work. Felt good to tinker and get something going without directly following a guide.

    But like I mentionded, it didn’t last long. A few months later one or the other went out regardless, and I eventually just bought a professionally re-capped GG on eBay.
