[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: 2x Turbo Duo's completely Recapped - same problem low sound!]

Thanks for the link.

I'm getting crystal clear sound through the headphones, but the audio to the TV is bad. It was bad before the recap and bad before the RGB mod.

I hot aired both amp chips off and cleaned up and put them back. I'm without a tester as my leads have broken, so I can't test the voltages on the legs right now .

I'll keep digging to see if I can find a solution.

I've changed all of the capacitors in the sound area. I have cleaned the pads with a wick and then rubbing alcohol, then applied new flux and soldered SMD capacitors on. They didn't work (in the sense that the sound level was scratchy and low), and I thought maybe one of the SMD capacitors was not sitting right, so I replaced them all with through hole so I could see they were definitely connected visually.

If the little 8 pin amps aren't working, are they stock parts? Unfortunately my cheap Chinese multimeters test leads fell apart, so I bought a fluke one, but that's at least 3 weeks away.

Thanks for help so far

Sorry to hijack thread, but how would somebody go about removing the Mitsubishi sound balancer chip and the amp chips? The legs look corroded on my PC engine and the sound is terrible. I have a hot air gun, but is there a recommended temperature level? Is that even the right way to do it.


Thanks in advance
