PC ENGINE TURBO DUO CD fault! please help!

Hmm....that's a bad sign.  If nothing happens when you press RUN and the light comes on, then it looks like the motor that spins the CD is broken (in other words, you probably have to get a replacement DUO.) Aaron Nanto

damn, its non -repairable?
I know telegames (ripoff) do repairs for the duo, about £50-£90.

or can someone repair it if they are technical enough (can mod gamecubes etc) and know which motor to get?

either way, there is a nice white DUO RX on the way.

can i sell it to someone who could repair it on ebay?

any advice on the above would be appreciated.

its fixed! it was a dodgy connector.....I still have buy it now pending on a DUO RX......but hey, its gotta be worth getting the latest model...less wear and tear surely? gonna sell my turbo duo. keep the rx.

which one is worth keeping guys? my turbo duo hasnt got a hucard slot "door" but the rx is a bit yellow..

anyone know how to clean old white "yellowed" consoles?
