Einleitung

We all know that the Sega Genesis brought to us many hours of fun, but, as we get older, the reset button gets older too.

Today, let's lend a hand to our nice friend and replace its reset button!

  1. lW54ikSVnq4KmSq3

    • Remove the six screws from the underside of the console with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

  2. MLFiOdPgBoRqk1KA

    • Flip the Sega Genesis upright.

  3. HKXYLvGvcYhQnPuf

    • Gently lift the top casing.

    • Note: the case will be connected to the main board by LED wires.

  4. LcxoJ4RWNK5fHMVY

    • Bend out the LED leads into vertical positions.

  5. TFQoTpYHAYOpPmnf

    • Slide the LED wire apparatus off the lead pins.

    • Note: observe which color wire corresponds with which length of pin.

  6. yjpZlChAPxVmPjZy

    • Separate the main board from the outer case.

  7. yKTTVvf4VaNRmRn2

    • Using Philips screwdriver, remove 11 screws securing silver casing.

  8. U5BMTgUf53DjnSxe

    • Remove silver case.

  9. jvpgeIPKnmHmpYT3

    • Locate reset button on motherboard

  10. fUHtOMTH2HIJIVlw

    • Place three pieces of 1cm x 1cm masking tape over reset button.

    You could also, if you feel confident in your skills, desolder the old button and replace it with a standard 4-pin pushbutton. Resolder the new one, and it should work.

    This isn't a fix, it's a gash bodge job.

    this is sooooooooo $@$*, de-solder the old one and pickup a similar tactile switch and replace it, its works better than factory. You will need to trim the bottom plastic of the switch portion to allow clearance for tactile.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. And the most important, be happy!
