[Console Repair/Mod Center / NEC PCE-LD1 LaserActive fault :/]

A friend of mine bought one of these units recently - I've recapped the MD & PCE packs.
Initially the unit had an LD stuck inside, after power cycling the player a few times it decided to eject of it's own accord... both paks worked OK during brief testing.
After recapping the paks I again briefly tested them - both OK.
I started to play through SNATCHER and after 10 mins the standby light started rapidly blinking between orange/green and video/audio goes off :/
I tried the MD pak and same thing happened after 10mins :/ :/
Any help to try and fix appreciated...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / save backup :s]

I've just got 100% on castlevania - doesn't look like there are many options to retain this save for long tho ;)
I've seen the info on here for the various mods available for the duo which is great BUT I'd like to keep the save on removable media - I am correct in the following?
The everdrive cannot act as a save tool, but perhaps could if software was written?
Tennokoe hucards have an internal battery - can this be successfully replaced and/or is there any way to mod this device so that the battery is no longer required by changing out the target storage component?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / AV cable choice help pls]

Loading up Tokimeki Memorial wastes precious seconds of my life.. PCE works don't deserve any of my $$$ so 'buying' them isn't an option!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / PCE RGB output help]

Hello,
I've modded a white PCE from stock with a THS7314 amp, I'm getting sound out OK but no video at all.
I've checked my monitor with a known good source, and checked my wiring for mistakes - all OK.
I removed the amp and connected the RGB points direct expecting to see a dull image but still nothing.
I'm not getting any voltage on the RGB lines - should I?
Can I test the C6260 IC for voltages?
I only have a multimeter, no scope or probe.
Any help greatly appreciated

[Fighting Street / Piracy]

There seems to be a whole lot of hate on this forum for everdrives/cdrs?
I personally can't see the problem with playing on an everdrive or cdr, it's not like I'm taking the food out of someones mouth for something they have created, buying an original copy of any pc engine game is not going to put any money into the hands of the publisher/developer anymore.
I don't give one about packaging or having a shelf of full of stuff particularly, but I do like to play pc engine games on original hardware and on CRT, whether the software is original or not is only a means to the end of actually playing the game for me.

[Off-Topic / Japanese telephone card collection]

Back in the early 90s I collected Japanese telephone cards...
Like so much other stuff coming out of Japan I was fascinated by the way such pedestrian everyday objects could be so well designed and emblazoned with such amazing images... not just the anime and video game advertising that I was into but adverts for local events, conglomerates etc...
Hope you enjoy some of my collection, would love to see more if anyone has please?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / TRADE game cases & manuals]

Hello all,
I've gone thru my collection and I have a couple of cases that didn't match the game/manual.
I have spare;

Ninja Warriors Taito CASE
Dungeon Explorer Hudsonsoft CASE

I also have a copy of Barunba, I have the huey and case but no manual. I would also trade the Barunba case for stuff I'm missing.

I'm after just the case for the following titles;

Drop Rock Horror Horror
Jackie Chan
Atomic Robo Kid
Splatterhouse

Barunba MANUAL

I also have a couple of rares loose, which are not for sale or trade, Terra Cresta II & Magical Chase, unlikely as it is if anyone has the case & manual for these I can trade cash money ;)

[Console Repair/Mod Center / CDROM2 repair help - no cd sound :/]

Hello all,
I've got a CDROM2 briefcase that doesn't give sound from the CD - plays original discs fine but not CDRs.
I have recapped the CDROM2 unit as per the excellent guide here but still no sound from the CD, game effects are fine of course.
Any advice on how to repair would be apprciated - I looked in the IFU and there are loads of caps, could they be the cause of no cd audio?
Also how to adjust the pots without a scope so the drive can play CDRs?
Thanks for your time,
Paul

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: briefcase IFU lid only]

If anyone has a spare somehow??? please sell it to me
I'm in the UK.
Thanks!
