I found a junk Game Axe Color on eBay that, for now, is actually under $100 Canadian, including the shipping. Considering the fact that the cheapest one that works is over $250, I'm tempted. Problem is, I have no idea how to fix what might be wrong with it. Is there anyone out there willing to fix it for me if I got it? I'll pay for parts, labor, and shipping. I need a response soon, as there's less than a day left in the auction, and I need to know if it would be worth it to get the Game Axe fixed. I'm tired of playing 1 player Famicom games, and now that I have the 60 to 72 pin cart adapter, it's even more frustrating. The best part of the Game Axe is that besides a rare hardware clone, it also has a pair of 9 pin controller ports, which means that finding replacement controllers won't be that hard.
Don't know if you should buy it, the damage can be anything, the worst will be dead display, and you cannot repair, just replace that. And I cannot imagine a replacement for its display.
Other than that I believe you will find here somebody willing to help you fix it. Don't worry.
You should just get a real Famicom or one of the various portable 60 pin clones that are available. I highly recommend this one:

I have a similar portable system, but mine cost 30usd incl shipping on aliexpress.

guys, any idea does it accept RAM adapter?
The white portable clone? IIRC the RAM adapter's connector was too short to reach the cartridge slot. It may have worked with the case disassembled though.
Will try it tomorrow! ;)
Too late. Didn't get it.
Don't be sad, wasn't a good deal anyway.
Good news, my portable miracle plays FDS no problem, through 60-72 and 72-60 adapters to fit.

*sigh* so direct connection isn't worked, right?
how about big JALECO carts and BANDAI? do they fit well?
Nah carts like Madara have really tight fit but you can get them inside. You have to be really carefull not to break the plastic.
FDS is too short to fit, not even disassembled (tried that).
