The 94MER Bench Sheets
The reference we actually use at the bench. Every symptom table has a free check before the part column — because half the time the fix costs nothing, and a parts store telling you that is the whole point.
Opens straight away. No email required, nothing to confirm — if you came here from a card in your order, this is the thing it pointed at.
What's in it
- Symptom → part tablesHandhelds and consoles. Each row starts with the free check to run first, then the part if that fails.
- The fastener chartWhich driver actually opens what. A DualSense takes four Phillips #00, not Torx. The 4.5 mm gamebit everyone buys is for cartridges, not the console.
- Power-supply polarity trapsSega Model 1 is centre-negative; Model 2, 32X and Game Gear are centre-positive. The NES brick is AC, the SNES is DC, and they fit each other's jacks. This page alone saves consoles.
- Stick drift by revisionWhich models drift, which replacements exist, and when a hall effect or TMR stick is worth it over a like-for-like.
- Model-number decoderAGS-001 vs AGS-101, FTR-001 vs JAN-001. The reason the wrong part arrives.
- Screw map, job log and test sign-offPrint them, use them on the bench, stop losing screws between teardowns.
