This is a customizable order form for the NEO-GEO Pocket and the various services offered. Please note that all costs listed are for service only, requiring you to ship not only the console but the mod/upgrade parts you have purchased yourself (with exception to the Full Recap Service as I will provide new capacitors from Console5)
IPS Screen Install
The NeoGeo Pocket line of handhelds have a great quality screen especially for the time but like many other retro handhelds, its tough to go back to a non-backlit option these days. This install service will replace your stock screen on a pocket/slim/color with a Q5 IPS Backlit LCD Screen that really shows off the awesome (but admittedly small) lineup of NGP games! There are other options besides the Q5 I have listed below and I will install any screen kit you send, this is just my recommended/preferred kit.
The Q5 IPS kit can be purchased from the following site:
Q5 IPS LCD – Retro Game Repair Shop
Color Q5 IPS LCD – Retro Game Repair Shop
Color Slim Q5 IPS LCD – Retro Game Repair Shop
Be sure to get the correct kit for your NGP console revision! If you are confused reach out before and send me a picture of your system and I can help you identify the correct model and send you the specific link needed!
CleanAmp Install
This kit taps into the NGPC/Color Slim mainboard and pulls audio directly into an amplifier and to the speaker for greatly improved audio quality and volume levels. Pairs well with the dehum/dehiss kit listed below
The kit is available here:
CleanAmp Audio Amplifier – Handheld Legend
Dehum/Dehiss Kit Install
If you are having the CleanAmp Amplifier kit installed, its highly recommended to also add this Noise reduction kit that will remove hum/hiss inherent with the audio amplification process.
The kit is available here:
Dehum/Dehiss Kit – Handheld Legend
Full Recap Service
Electrolytic Capacitors have an estimated shelf life of about 15 years and many of these old retro gaming systems are long past that time. This service replaces all the caps on the Pocket, Slim or Color system board and the cap kit from Console5 is included in this cost
Full Service Cleaning
After years of heavy use many handhelds will exhibit accumulation of dirt, dust and debris and this can not only impact the aesthetic appearance of the system but dirty system components can impact component life and performance. Your console will be completely disassembled and cleaned from the inside out. All PCB and internal electrical components will have dust and debris removed via an electronic air compressor and then be cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and brushed clean. Outer shell and other non-electronic components will be taken apart and soaked in a soap/water mixture and carefully scrubbed to remove stains and debris buildup. Any light markings, scuffs or other blemishes will be safely removed to the best of my ability. Once the console is re-assembled the outer shell will be given a coat of plastic UV protectant to restore shine and prevent UV damage. Depending on the handheld system I will do my best to buff out light scratches on the screen/panel as well, or if you send me a new lens I will install free of charge during cleaning process
