I recently got an old SEGA Game Gear from and E-Waste collection I helped with. I put all 6 batteries in and flipped the power switch but the screen only stayed on for a second. The screen color is a light gray when it turns on and I'm wondering if some internal component is screwed up or if I just need a cartridge for it to work?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

From what it looks like, it could be some bad caps.
A common problem with the Game Gear from what i've read.
Got a Game Gear for some repairs, same problem.
Turns on for 1 sec and then it goes off again.
So just replace the caps and see what it does.

What do you mean by "caps"? Capacitors?
A little late reply but yes he means capacitors. It's a very common failure on older electronics and on Game Gear units.
