Not the end of the world but it takes elbow grease to re-polish it. Be careful using a scrubbing brush or the scratchy pad on sponges, this will scratch up the console and leave a matt finish. And the bottom tin lifts out.Ĭue cleaning, I give mine a gentle scrub with a sponge in the hot soapy water and leave it to dry. Remove the motherboard, it is also hooked into the bottom tin piece. Lift the headphone jack out to reveal another screw and there is a few in the thick aluminium angled piece. To remove the motherboard, there is one screw on either side of the cartridge connector. Its held down with several screws and hooked under a tab on the bottom shield.
To unplug you will need to straighten the legs sticking out of the white plug and gentle wiggle until its free. To separate the top from the bottom you will need to unplug the power led, you can change that if you fancy, my personal Megadrive has a white power led. Put them safe in a handy pot and remove the top half of the console. We shall assume you have basic soldering skills and that you are versed in undoing screws!! Tear down ready for the Sega Megadrive Region Switch Modīegin your mods by flipping the console over and undoing the screws on the underside. The switch we will be using a on/off/on switch and I opt for a black rocker switch to try and make it look like it was always meant to be there. Most tutorials you find will use two toggle switches, however I prefer to use a single switch. This modification will release the true power of the MD and enable you to play Japanese and American games on your PAL console with the flip of a switch. Many a tutorial has been written regarding the Sega Megadrive Region Switch mod.
