LM317T Voltage Regulator with Pass Transistor

Well, all the power cycles from testing out my battery mod, LCD screen mod and general everyday use have taken their toll on my poor Sega Nomad :( . I suppose It's not really surprising given the consoles age and all the abuse it's received since the mid 90's. But!, there is hope! :). In this video I show how to bring a seemingly dead and unresponsive console back to life. All you need to do is fit a new voltage regulator which is a very cheap and reasonably easy part to replace. Original 2008 thread I found and got this information from (thanks to jb143).. www.digitpress.com Replacement part used, LM1117 Voltage Regulator 5V 800mA Actual value of device AMS1117 5.0 SOT-223 Bought from ebay seller, stores.ebay.co.uk I'll add some macro stills with info on solder points soon (if I forget remind me :P). Thanks for watching!
