    Default Got my Nomad Back with the new LCD!!

    Thanks Jonjandran this thing looks AWESOME!! I expected it to be nice but DAMN. You can actually read the text in Phantasy Star IV, and the fast action in Sonic is no match for this screen! I recommend to ANYone with a Nomad to get this done. I will report back on the battery life as soon as I get a full charge on the AA's and run em' down, I suspect it will be much better than 1.5 hours haha.

    Before and after pics of my Nomad (thanks Jon for taking the pics):

    Glad I could be of service

    I really wish pics or even video would do this mod justice...but they don't.

    Once you've seen the mod however there is no going back. I have Nomads sitting here without the mod and won't even turn them on, but I have found myself playing the Nomad with the screen and battery mod ALL the time now.

    And I won't even pick up my Genmobile or RetroGen anymore. The Nomad with screen mod is sooooo much better.

    And despite what people may think I am doing this more to help people get back into Genesis gaming on the go then to make money. I make so little per hour for doing this I would be better off working more hours on my job. But when I see the results and hear how happy it makes you guys it's worth it. (cliche and sappy i know )

    It cost me $65 for the LCD mod. You pay for the shipping to him, he pays to ship back. PM him for more details. He's very quick to reply.

    Well I ran it down, and it lasted only 1 hour and 5 minutes?? Not sure what's going on, but that's about how long it lasted before. Maybe my batteries are getting old (plus I've heard that rechargeables never last as long as regular batteries).

    It was actually pretty interesting, the battery light was on for 20 minutes, before it would only stay on about 5 before dying. Also, when it died, the Nomad shut down but it was still enough juice for the LCD to be on and bright.. lol. So it appears that the actual mainboard is what takes up a majority of the juice, and maybe not the LCD, but every little bit helps.

    I really just need to get the lithium ion battery pack mod. Then I think I would be 100% happy with the Nomad. Also, I think my charger is charging the batteries too fast, they are suppose to be slow charged and the charger does it in like 1.5 hours, when it's supposed to be 4-6 hours. So I wonder if the charger is the culprit. If anyone else gets ONLY the LCD mod done, let me know what kind of battery life you see.
