Offering my services for Turbo/PCE repairs/mods

[turbokon]

Just curious to what the mod is for that Suitcase Edition is?
The fat AV plug is now hella lot smaller, and there's an on/off switch to it's left?

Thanks

All that is a switch for the reqion mod on pce unit itself.

Thanks, i'll have to keep that in mind...
as i don't own any Turbochips at the moment anyways

Nice! I have some mods/repairs I will request from you once all my stuff makes it back to the States.

Anyone in the UK do stuff?  Need full cap replacements on my two GTs, but to ship to the states and back would be expensive.

It's great to have other people here repairing these things. Here is a list so far of everyone here in this forum doing these services. Let me know if there are any others I didn't mention or forgot about.

Yeah, I wondered that myself.

[Keith Courage]

That would be my mistake. I read your post wrong about fixing your old system.

Chop5 can be added to that list,  not sure what all he repairs these days, but I know he's still fixing things

Regular air mail shouldn't be that much more expensive.

Awesome, looking forward to it!! Remember to hit me up:)

Just wanted to let everyone know that he did a great job on a cap replacement for my TurboDuo. Wouldn't hesitate to have him do more work on my consoles.

I PM'ed nat about this, but just posting it here as well for backup. My Turbo Express decided to finally break for good... It had been sitting in the shelf for many years and recently I wanted to fire up Super Star Soldier on it as I used to do, but now all that happens is that the backlight comes on when I turn it on, but nothing else happens. The game doesn't boot, no sound, nothing, just a black screen with the backlight powered on. I noticed though that there is still input control and screensaver support; I turned it on and left it alone for a couple of minutes and eventually the backlight would turn off, but when I touch any button or the D-Pad, the backlight turns back on and stays on for a certain about of time.

I read in the repair threads that this might be due to the one video capacitor, so I might actually try replacing that myself, but I wasn't sure it quite applied to the situation because the game doesn't boot at all, there is no sound, etc. Anyway, just wanted to put this out there for someone that fixes Turbo Express units. I may just wanna sell it broken or something and be done with it. To ship it to someone, pay for the labor and the shipping of it back to you, it's probably not worth it and I didn't use it all that much anyway...

These guys dont charge an arm and a leg NightWolve.    I would get it fixed.

If you wait until the VGS in July, there should be a techy there that can take a look at your system.

That sounds like mine before chops fixed it up (both the sound and video caps were dead).  'Twas well worth the pittance he charged, even if I don't use it all that much.
