JCD capacitor kit: the kit that matches your console

Crackling sound, flickering screen, a console that switches off: on a Game Boy more than twenty years old, the original capacitors are often to blame. This JCD SMD capacitor kit gathers the values specific to each model: Game Boy Pocket, Color, Light, Advance or Advance SP. Choose your console's variant.

What it does

• One kit per console: Pocket 4 capacitors, Color 3, Light 5, Advance 4 capacitors and 1 inductor, Advance SP 1.
• Marked values: each capacitor shows its capacitance and voltage, for easy identification.
• SMD format: the surface-mount format used on these boards.

What it does not do

• It does not repair a trace eaten by electrolyte: it must be fixed before fitting.
• It does not cover the original Game Boy, which has its own kit.
• One kit = one console: for two models, order two variants.
• No tools included.

Compatibility

Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Light, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, depending on the variant chosen. Compare the values with those on your board before desoldering.

Skill level

Experienced SMD soldering: desoldering with hot air or a fine-tip iron, cleaning the pads, observing polarity. Tri-wing screwdriver to open the console.

In the box

• 1 SMD capacitor kit for the chosen console (with 1 inductor for the Game Boy Advance)
