Well... I know why the CD ROM doesn't work...

I touched the middle cog on the drive shafty thing and it literally disintegrated... Half of the teeth came off at a touch...

Better start hunting out a new one!!

Time for a new gear!  Bummer, but at least it's fixable.

Well... Finally got my replacement middle cog... Realised that the plastic thing that holds the threaded thing that moves the laser so did that fix too...

It still won't spin!!

Any ideas what I can try? Is it a full laser mech I'll need??

Waaahhh

95 and 96 are the channels numbers needed for RF to work on US TVs.

Nevermind...  Googled..  Will be looking to replace the caps shortly then!! Lol... Any UK members need a full cap kit for their CD ROMs??? I'll no doubt end up buying in bulk to try to save some pennies...

Looks like dried glue to cement a cap and resistor in place... Or perhaps lost chewing gum.

Great thread, no idea Japan had a difference RF signal than we did  So a PC Engine RF only will not work on a US TV?

Like Keith said, you just need to be able to tune to channel 95 or 96. The problem is that a lot of US TVs didn't. That said, an easy workaround is to use a VCR, as many did tune that high.

Nice.

If you wanted a workaround to the RF without an IFU, check out this thread:

Original PC Engine (White) RGB Amp Installation & Overhaul Guide

I think I said somewhere I'm about to do another update to this thread.
