The Sega Game Gear portable gaming device was released in 1991 in competition with the Nintendo Game Boy.

Help identify which board version this is?

I bought this Game Gear years ago with the intention of modding it. But in order to buy an IPS screen kit for it, I need to know what version it is.

Also, whilst I've modded a load of Game Boy DMG-01's, I've never done a Game Gear before, so suggestions for the best mods to do would be much appreciated.

@jonny29797 take a look at the left hand side of your image. You can clearly make out that your board is a 837-7996. That means your board is a

Model number:837-7996

Country:Europe

Type: VA0

ASICs: IC3 315-5378 and IC2 315-5377

Year: 1991

We are really not into modding anything. We are more the repair type crowd. There are plenty of great sites like this one and many others that adress mods etc.
