replace the electrolytic capacitors and it'll work like new

Problem is, even as new, it's still the worst of about a dozen consoles or devices in the house capable of letting my kids play video games. They play PS4 or the 360, and occasionally an original Xbox for a particular party game. There are older consoles than those that get completely ignored but would be superior to the Micro Genius!

But you reminded me that we did take it to an electronics store for a quote to try and fix it, and I think the quote was more than we paid for it. Also a bit pointless with the pace new consoles were being released!
