Fixing a busted RG350! Complete device refresh.

I recently had an opportunity to take somebody’s RG350 and give it an internal makeover! Someone on the RG350 subreddit had asked for help in getting their device up and running again after several months of frustration. So I took the project onboard and also filmed the entire process so you could see all the tricks I used to get everything back into tip-top shape.

Here’s a list of the tools and guides I used to fix up the device: https://retrogamecorps.com/2020/11/05/refreshing-a-used-rg350-device/
