Sega Game Gear TV Tuner Disassembly

ID: 125488

Description: Although the Sega Game Gear TV Tuner is long...

Steps:

1. Remove PH1 screw and lift up on the antenna to remove it
2. This can be done with a PH0 screwdriver but I prefer not to risk stripping the screw
3. Remove 4 PH0 screws
4. Remove 2 3.8mm gamebit screws
5. Lift rear tuner shell away from unit

6. Before we can remove the motherboard the tint wheel needs to be removed
7. A peek on the inside reveals 2 small retaining clips. Simply apply some pressure on the clips with a needle nose tweezer
8. When reinstalling the tint wheel simply align the retaining clips with the holes and press back into place
9. Remove the motherboard from the unit

10. When removing the front shell be careful not to lose the frequency switch button located on top of the device
11. If it makes your repair easier you can separate the two PCBs by gently pulling the ribbon out of its connector. This is a friction fit cable

12. Flip the PCBs over with the back side facing you.
13. Remove 1 PH0 screw
14. Flip the board over again and gently pull the tuning dial assembly out of the pin header socket
