Is There A Dpad Mod Still Available For Purchase?

[doc5avage]

Hi,

Is there anyone out there still able to offer a dpad mod kit or even a gp2x cap replacement? I know that soon my joystick is going to go.
I know DaveC used to make them, but I think he doesn't do it anymore.

Cheers

There are quite a few D-pad guides on this forum, it really isn't that hard to do the mod. One thing you do need of course as well as a soldering iron is desoldering braid!

Will a desoldering pump do just as good a job as a braid?

I'm alright with a soldering iron, I recently replaced all the capacitors in my sega game gear.

I found that when I was doing the DaveC mod the braid was almost useless whilst the de-solder pump was really good.
