Sega Dreamcast PixelFX Retro GEM Installation Service

Description: This is a send-in installation service for the Sega Dreamcast PixelFX Retro GEM HDMI Upgrade. Dreamcast Retro GEM is NOT included with this service and must be provided by the customer. Installation Service Includes - Installation of Dreamcast Retro GEMInstallation of Retro GEM flex and associated wiringSerial Port RemovalUpdating Dreamcast Retro GEM firmware to latest releaseConsole tested to ensure proper functionalityConsole CleaningExterior Wipe-downInternal cleaning, removing any loose dust/dirt This does not include removal of tough stains or caked on substances (ultrasonic cleaning is available for deep cleaning). Additional Services Offered- Electrolytic Capacitor ReplacementOver time, electrolytic capacitors lose their ability to perform as intended. This can have varying effects on performance (none good). The electrolyte, paper and aluminum foil in the capacitor degrade physically and chemically over time. Aging capacitors can cause a wide range of issues and in extreme cases can leak electrolytic fluid onto the PCB (again, not good). Power Supply RecapThis option replaces the capacitors in the Dreamcast PSU.Motherboard RecapThis option replaces the capacitors on the Dreamcast motherboard. Complete RecapThis option replaces all electrolytic capacitors on both the motherboard and power supply.Noctua FanThe Sega Dreamcast is known for its rather loud fan. While it works well, the noise can be annoying to some. This option will replace the original fan with an almost silent Noctua fan. This option includes -1x New Noctua Fan1x 3D printed Noctua fan mount1x 3D printed open/close latchBattery Socket The Dreamcast uses a rechargeable battery for keeping time/date settings. This battery can die if not allowed to recharge regularly. This is a common fault in many Sega Dreamcast that have been shelved for years. When the battery dies, the console will force you to set the time and date every time you unplug the console (super annoying!). This option removes the original soldered in battery and replaces it with a socket, so swapping batteries no longer requires soldering. This option includes -Removal of old batteryInstallation of battery socketInstallation of new ML2032 batteryUltrasonic CleaningWith this service, your console will be disassembled and ultrasonic cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaning removes even the most stubborn dust and dirt that a hand cleaning just cant reach. Service includes Ultrasonic Clean HousingUltrasonic cleaning of console housingUltrasonic cleaning of shielding piecesUltrasonic cleaning of fanUltrasonic cleaning of controller portsUltrasonic Clean MotherboardUltrasonic cleaning of motherboard Includes new thermal pads*FREE! On The House -Power LED Color This replaces the original Dreamcast power LED with 1:1 replacement in your choice of color. Just leave a note with your order or send a message with the color you want. BlueRed GreenWhitePinkRGB (Slow Cycle)Controller Fuse One of the common flaws of the Sega Dreamcast is the controller port fuse. If this goes out, the controller ports will stop working. This replaces the original Dreamcast controller power fuse with a self-resetting fuse, so even if the fuse trips, all you need to do is unplug the console and plug it back in. That's it! Problem solved. Additional Information - Once your order is received, you will be sent shipping information to send your console in for the work to be completed. Initial shipping is the customers responsibility. Please ship your console and kit with ample packing material. Shipping paid at checkout is how your console will be shipped back to you after the work has been completed.Please only send the console and kit to be installed. Power cables, controllers, AV cables or any other accessories that are not needed will only raise the shipping costs both ways.If a console arrives not working, you will be contacted and notified. Most things can be fixed and arrangements can be made, but in the case of a console that is inoperable, the console will be returned, and you will be refunded minus return shipping costs. Turnaround time is usually within 2-3 weeks, but can be longer depending on current workload or if parts need to be ordered. Is there a specific mod you would like that is not on this listing?
