REPAIR GUIDE - TurboDuo: Sound Fix

[BlueBMW]

Theres usually plenty of room to use radials under the rf shield.  Just bend then over after install.

the ceramic SMD size 1206 caps fit the pads perfect

[ApolloBoy]

I just use normal leaded caps, way easier to solder in than SMD caps.

[Jugbug]

Thanks for all the input.  I hadn't even considered ceramic SMDs.  I'll probably go with radials for the ease.  Bet those ceramic SMDs make for a nice looking install though... 

[thesteve]

the ceramics are easier too

I just want to say hello and thanks to Red Ghost/toofastforyahuh and everyone in this thread what a life saver. I now have fully working cd audio and no more popping!

Unfortunately though two of the caps near the headphone opamp leaked all over the board and made a hell of a mess. Messing up a trace/pad and destroying the volume knob (all rusty and gunky now) so off to find a new one of those and then on to rgb mod !

Cheers guys.

  I have a Turbo Duo and was without sound, the sound was very low even changed all the capacitors, now the Hu Card games have sound normal, but the games on CD still has very low sound, have to increase the TV volume at most and is still down, anyone know what can be ? Thank´s.

[thesteve]

yep, you have corrosion damage

[Bekic]

The soundtrack for me doesn't sound scratchy or anything, but it does hower fade out in a certain level on riot zone. It came back after i died. Does this still fit the problem-description?

Also the little cutscene when you finish a level and the guy stabs a knife in the "Wanted"-picture just cuts off at some levels and it goes straight to the gameplay. What should i do?

Thank you!

[thesteve]

that sounds more like a laser/adjustment issue

Is it easily fixed?

[thesteve]

yes, but may need a new laser.
often it just needs the pots adjusted

[Bekic]

Where can i find someone to fix it for me (and how long can i expect it to hold after that)?

It's better for someone else to do it, i'd most likely just f*ck it up. How long would it take if you did it? How long could i expect it to last before it starts to malfunction again?
