Description
Everything you need to future proof and fix a dead Sega Dreamcast controller port/board.
High quality mod kit to upgrade or repair the Sega Dreamcast controller board including a resettable fuse, CR2032 battery, high quality battery holder, long life capacitor, and a Schottky diode to convert the controller port from using a rechargeable battery to a long life battery.
Resettable Fuse
The controller port occasionally does stop working because the fuse has died. Replacing it with a resettable fuse will mean the fuse never has to be changed again. Turning the Dreamcast off and on again is enough to reset the fuse to its working condition.
None-rechargeable Battery Upgrade & Schottky Diode
This may seem counter-intuitive but it will actually produce less waste and hassle in the long run. The ML2032 rechargeable battery does die and when it does it is much more expensive to replace. They really do not last long. Replacing it with a none-recharging CR2032 will mean the battery is easier and cheaper to replace. A diode is included to prevent a charge being sent to the battery.
Battery Holder
The Dreamcast comes with a none replaceable surface mount battery which is soldered in place and requires de-soldering once dead. Putting a battery holder in its place is a no-brainer with benefits that really don’t need spelling out. The holders that come with this kit are high quality branded ones that will last a life-time.
