I have a Turbo Duo where the FMV's on CD games are slow or freeze. I assume the laser needs to be replaced? If so, is there someone that can replace the laser and regrease the gears, spindle, etc.? Thanks.
Hi
@shaggy, good to have ya stop by.
One of the few active repair people left is
@Keith Courage - check his profile for contact on YouTube, Facebook, etc. I linked him your question since I can usually reach him on FB.
He's actually the one who re-capped my Duo 6 years ago. I dropped him a message on here but hadn't heard back. I guess I know why now. Thanks for your help.
Hi, There is a guy on eBay named Chris who calls himself turbografxfan.
He does great work and has a 3 or 4 day turn-around time. He can do almost anything with T16, PCE, DUO and Express.
He can replace the laser with a unit from an older sony discman.
Sounds like your issue could be related to failed capacitors, but Chris will thoroughly recondition your unit.
Hope this helps.
