sega nomad help

[trol]

Hi, just bought a Nomad at the local flea market for just around 7 dollar🙂 As expected it's broken. A tiny part labeled "tr 201" is toasted. Does anyone know what kind of part this is?(It's just below the ac adaptor jack). Or does anyone have nomad schematics?

how did you get that bad boy open? That fucking screw in there does not fit any screwdriver I have ever seen.. I hear they sold them years ago, until companies like sega and nintendo made them take it off the market

maybe he custom-welded a fitting screwdriver?

I used one to open old IBM computers (like a Macintosh), but it was frankly, a bitch to tear apart, and put back together (completely illogical design)

It was already opened, there were just 3 philips screws in it...

it's a so-called gamebit screw. the standard screw used in any nintendo machine aside from GBs too.

Does anyone have a picture of the Nomad pcb?

Thanks, but the picture has to be better. I need to find out what the black thing on the top right is, It's below the blue capacitor.
