CHEAP AliExpress Game Gear LED Screen Upgrade Was HARD! Fix It Friday - Funny Playing v4.1

In today's video I'm looking at a SEGA Game Gear that I inadvertently purchased from a viewer on eBay! It's got a very typical failing LCD screen with Horizontal lines down it.. So I thought I'd try a 'budget' screen kit from AliExpress.. This one infact - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBK... - it's different from the Benn Venn and RetroSix because it's got a 'laminated' screen.. which, in itself causes some issues.. As ever with me, the path to modding never does run smoothly..
