[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - Laseractive NEC PAC-N1 / N10: Total capacitor replacement chart]

Discovered I had a dead RAM backup battery, original ML2016 now replaced with a shiny new ML2032 rechargeable battery. Slightly thicker than the original but a perfect fit.

Me too. somehow I am UNable to find rechargable ML2016 with fitted legs.
I am able to find ML2032 with correct legs which works perfect for few years

Can anyone who owns a Laseractive with the Sega Pac be so kind to tell me if its normal for the IC in the pic below to get scorching hot after just a few minutes of gameplay?
My unit is a bit under the weather ATM (even after replacing capacitor & parts all across the boards), and I've had bad chips gone bad before and that's usually one of the symptoms but in this case I don't know. Thanks in advance for any help!

Play pc engine cd game for 5 mins and the chip is around 50c  based on my feeling

Keith's solution works fine for me. My symptom is got low volume/ static sound from the Super CDROM AV port int he first few minutes. After warming up, the sounds back to normal level and no more static.  If I plug the AV cable from the Coregrafx AV port, No warmup at all.



I replaced all capacitors on the boards but still No luck. Keith suggested to jump the wire for the resistors on the sub-board in red circled ( attached ). Then it works perfect! No more warmup even I plug the cable into Super CDROM AV port!

Thanks Keith!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Question for Manhattan Requiem‏ ( LaserActive PC Engine LDROM )]

Hi folks,

  I would like to know what happen if you play Side 2 of Manhattan Requiem directly withOUT finishing side 1? The reason I am asking this is because my side 2 of Manhattan Requiem *had* circular scratched and unable to play at all. Then I use NOVUS #1,2,3 to rub the disc, now there is No more any visual scratches on the side 2. So far so good... When I put the side 2 into the player ( withOUT finishing side 1 -- well I spent 2 hours on it but still in Side 1 gameplay LOL ), I got the screen to ask me "push any button ( tray open )". Once I push any button, it will ask me to put Side 1 of the game. Is this normal? Just want to verify the side 2 is now in good shape or now. If yes, I will go ahead and spend more time for the side 1 gameplay to prove the disc 2 is indeed good. Attached the screenshot I got.

Anyone please help

First, don't give up.
Second, HuCARD may be dead.

I have a DOA PC Genjin 2... 10 years ago I would have told folks that HuCards can't die, but then I received my sad, sad little PC Genjin 2...



I had to buy another copy (thankfully, it works fine)...

Thanks for reply. I do have few dead hucards   However, whenever they are dead, they are dead LOL ( eg, Not playable, white screen, etc... )
This is really odd one since playable but screen corrupted
