Bought an old GBC from the auction site, installed an OLED screen, sound amp and changed the caps.

The one I got was in bad shape and sold as non working, the battery contacts were shot with corrosion, stripped it all down and scrubbed the contacts with a wire brush and everything was workingsold a few of mine over the last few weeks. i wonder if you had one.
i listed them pretty cheap.
The best thing for corrosion is white vinegar or apple cider vinegar works just as good, put that on the battery contacts and watch the corrosion fizz away, it works like magic in minutes. Minimal scrubbing if any at all. Finish them off with some IPA.The one I got was in bad shape and sold as non working, the battery contacts were shot with corrosion, stripped it all down and scrubbed the contacts with a wire brush and everything was working

I mean this is a long way off but I plan to go through my retro gear in my next week off work which is whitsun. I can throw a few sticks at mine and see what it is happy with and send you some if you like. Ive got probably 40+ sticks to tryI got my stick of FPM RAM today and I tried it but no joy the computer wont post with it.
Does anybody know what RAM works with a DELL 425s/L?
I’ve considered getting a small 4:3 LCD but a decent one seems hard to come by these days. Want it for my 3 x Analgoue devices really more than my older original kit.I bought a 2010 Samsung 720p 32" TV for my PS2 and Dreamcast. I cracked one day whilst trying to use my modern TV with terrible input delay, and wanted one NOW on gumtree lol. I can't fit a CRT on my desk and this old TV has lots of inputs if I want to hook up 720p consoles and PS1 mini/ Amiga 500 mini etc. 32" is big for a desk and if I had been patient looking on Gumtree I probably should have bought a 26/7" TV.
It has good input delay. It's got ghosting but I can live with that. The image quality on 720p video is pretty good and the sound quality is a bit nicer than my modern TV.
I currently seem to have a thing with early PS2 games and I'm tracking down the games I never played: GTA3, Jak and Daxter, Shadow of Memories, Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Ico...
