[Console Repair/Mod Center / Help: TG CD clicking noise]

Hello!

I have a Turbo Grafx CD unit. It's being choosy about when it wants to load a disc... sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

I suppose the main problem is this clicking noise when the disc is spinning.

Here is a short :30 video showing the problem.

I appreciate any input.  I know I'm not an active member - but this forum was able to help me fix the capacitors on my TE unit last year!    Thanks for your time and help!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / HELP / ADVICE needed regarding Turbo Express]

Hello everybody!

I have a Turbo Express that is in nice cosmetic condition and overall is in working condition (video) but is suffering from the sound problem (low volume output) that seems to be pretty common among these units.

It is my understanding these can be fixed with new capacitors swapped for the old ones.

Here is where I need some advice / help. I've seen some fixes on doing it yourself... and the capacitors appear to be inexpensive costs. ...but soldering capacitors to a circuit board is not something I've ever done before. I would hate to break the unit.

Are there any affordable and reputable sources where this sort of thing could be serviced / fixed? Would it be advisable to go ahead and replace all the capacitors beyond the sound repair?

Any names or contacts / help or advice would be appreciated

Thanks for your time and help!
