Game Axe Color

[satoshi_matrix]

I'm going to see about taking it to a repairshop to see if they could do something. It's weird, because EVERYTHING else works. The buttons, the volume, the AV Out even. Just the screen doesnt turn on. I dont get it.

You made a 275mb video of a screen not turning on 

I'd open it up, see if anything came loose in there maybe.

[satoshi_matrix]

I did that. I didn't see anything loose. The thing that attaches the LCD to the unit is a golden belt right?

What does one of these cost, with a rough estimate of shipping included? I want to get me something portable, considering one of these.

[satoshi_matrix]

They are rare and pricy. Nothing less than around $150 US. Thats why I'm so pissed off that the screen doesn't work. 

[JC]

Wow. That price is higher than I expected, but I'm sure you searched for and found the best deal. Maybe I'll try something else, like one of them cheaper TimeMachine things, but then I'd need the GB.

Pokefami is your solution.

Oh, or you could just build your own out of a spare nes and a psone lcd, but considering you are aiming to buy something, you probably dont want to build it yourself.

$150 for a Game Axe? That's a ripoff.  A brand new one just ended on EBay for $41.

Link please?

I saw a store item for sale at $75 + shipping.

[satoshi_matrix]

How are you finding them? I type in every variation of Game Axe I can think of and only find ones in the $150 + shipping range.

[madman]

How are you finding them?

By typing "game axe" into the search bar

JQ, just do a completed auctions search. 

[satoshi_matrix]

You end up finding a whole bunch of Golden Axe games for the Megadrive though. I've only seen a few auctions for the Game Axe Color.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Search "Worldwide" .

By the way, here's the one I was talking about:

Holy shit!:

Your were right

I would've bought it at that price.

[satoshi_matrix]

Problem is that I'm Canadian, so the ones that don't show up wouldn't ship to me anyway. Some sellers are like that. But thanks anyway.

Hey all, I sent the one with the broken screen back for a refund, and just got another one. This time this one works perfectly. The screen is comperable in quality to between Gamegear and GBA SP. It's much clearer than the Handy Famieight, but its AV in options are much more limited. Also: The GameAxe is LOUD. I can't beleive how much power the speaker has, I'd say at least twice the output of the GBA's speaker. Even having the volume at 25% is loud.
