    • I remove 5 Phillips head screws for the case

    • And one more to remove the batteries

    • Inside, all I see are glorious Phillips Head screws!

    • Finally! Something repairable!

    • Battery Compartment

    • Power Switch and LED board

    • Mainboard/Joystick board

    • A and B button board

    • I start with the buttons.

  5. gXFRGDggm4MMFHOH

    • They were very, very easy to get to and remove.

    • Now, for the mainboard.

    • 2 screws get me underneath.

    • But, what's this?

    • Another 4 screws, and POP! it is holding a spring down, for the joystick.

    • There did not appear to be an easy way to get the joystick out, however.

    • Finally, I see a power regulator?

    • Nope! It's just the power switch and LED.

    • Back Main PCB IC Identification:

    • You may need to enlarge it to view the text.

    • In conclusion, I LOVE how it's all the J1 Phillips Head screw, throughout the entire device.

    • It's easy to get under every board.

    • There are, unfortunately, no plugs, and so everything is soldered on. This removes the possibility of replacing any electrical internals.

It should not be too hard to replace stuff as long as you know how to solder. However many chips cannot be replaced as they are either epoxied on or need to be programmed before it would work in the device.
