New sega idea.

So I bought a semibroken Sega Nomad off ebay. Yes, I know about it's terrible battery life. But what's broken about this one is the screen (the orange blotch problem). So what if I was to remove the original screen assembly, and just use the nomad guts as a base? I have my own 5" screen I'd rather use. I could make a portable out of the nomad, since it already has a great cartridge port built in. The case I'm using is roughly the same size as the nomad, but a bit wider, so I could fit in this awesome screen.

But how long would the battery life be if I removed the nomad's original screen? I would think that that is the huge battery eater.

Yeah since the thing outputs composite this could make an awesome portable. And out of curiosity how much did this "broken" nomad cost?
