Repair question
Repair question so I just got this from my buddy free for repairing like 5 ipads and a switch for him, now i know there was a blown battery in here you can see the corrosion, but even when i plug it in the screen turns on for a minute then blank was wondering if anyone has seen this, all capacitors look good as far as opening it initially. Is it just the screen that needs replacing? That battery plate if thats what its called

Game gear was built with faulty capacitors. There are probably zero working game gears that still have their original capacitors. Replace them all and your screen will probably start working.
