Also a region switch can be put in if you want to play any u.s hucard title.

Do you have a link on how to add a region switch?

Does anyone still sell the US adapter?  I have a bunch of US games I want to play.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Which Turbo Console to get???]

I have only had a TurboExpress, and I have always wanted a console to play the games on my TV, and I was wondering which Turbo/PCE console would be the best to get.  I remember that if I wanted to hook a turbo up via composite you need a turbo booster.  Other than that I am completely clueless.  Help?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: BIG NEWS: Turbo Express SOUND FIX!!!!]

Just replacing the single cap did not work for me. In fact, it made the sound stop working alltogether. The audio opamp NEEDS all four of those caps by design, but it just so happens that the one D-lite pointed out is most crucial for operation and will fix most peoples problems (but probably not 100%).

I dont think the screen can be replaced by replacing caps. The screen takes RGB input, and from my tests the signal comes almost directly off of the hu6260. Sounds like your screen itself is bad, and unfortunatly it probably cant be fixed. Old lcds like these are just really flakey.
When I have time, I have a modern LCD from a pocket tv that I plan on hacking to take RGB, and putting that in one of my Expresses. It will be nice to have a system with modern LCD.

Actually in my case I tested the screen and it is functional, the problem is with the system board.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Sound back now...]

Hey D-Lite, I just wanted to say thank you for posting such an informative (and picture filled ) rewiew and also i wanted to say that the sound fix works wonderfully. now if I could just figure out how to do the screen fix...
Anyhow, many thanks!

About a year ago my beloved TE's sounds kept getting quiter and quiter, until one day the video stopped being displayed too!  I was so sad and knew if I spent a lot of time I could figure out the faulty circuit, but I just didn't have that time.  After reading this post, I was so excited I ran to the basement and replaced the capasitor as suggeted, and WOW the sound was back!!!  Now the real question is will replacing all the capisitors return the video?  The backlight still works, I can ouly assume that the problem is with the main board not the video driver.  I will be ordering exact replacements as they will be much easier to install.  I will post here with the results.  Thanks D-Lite!
