GameGear Problem

			Alright I got a problem >_< I let my cousin who was ill borrow my GameGear for a few hours... I'd never normally do that, but I'm a real sucker when she gets blabby.... Anyway I learnt the hard way not to let a 14 year old girl who knows nothing about computers touch them >_< She left it on top of a cable TV box... persumably the magnets or something in there screwed it up cause the screen is knackered >_< Well it works... it still displays stuff, but it's dark... as if it's been inverted to the darkest possible colours >_< Umm.... help?

			Did you try messing with the brightness dial?

			Hah yea I tried that Nah I think it's something internal... possibly repairable? GameGears are hard to come by.

			Sounds like the screen has been totally buggered. I had a monitor that had been sitting beside a magnet for a long time and it totally darkened teh screen and eventually it fried it. You're best bet is to just pick up a new gamegear, and judging if your case is better than the one that you buy, just transfer all the innards of the gamegear to the case that you already have.

			Wow you think it broke it that quick? Damn her... guess I better get looking.

			I can look around in my stockpile of games and see if I can find one for you. Getting rid of most of my equipment anyways.

			That would be great. I'm currently building up my collection, and it feels lke a gaping hole with the GG not there.

			I have the gamegear here and it kinda had a bonus, had the revenge of drancon game in the cart slot.
