If anyone has a spare tgcd laser contact button (the button that tells the cd unit the laser has reached the center) I'd be glad to buy it off of you. Let me know if you have on around.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Oh yeah, it was worth it though. The tg-CD is an awesome system.
I managed to pick up the tgCD with the briefcase included for 100 bucks, not too bad I think.

Very good deal indeed. I got mine sealed for 5.99 about a month ago.
The game is good, but man that loading time is crazy long.

Sorry everyone, but I bought one off of ebay not too long ago. And damn did I get ripped off, I should have been more patient and waited. I would have gotten one for waaay cheaper from someone of this forum I'm sure...

I also noticed the contact tips aren't really gold anymore, they're silver. I think someone may have tried to repair it before. Bet hell, if I find out for it's really broken I'll sell it to you. I won't know for sure until I get this new system card I ordered. I'd punch myself in the nuts if I'd find out it's my tg-CD really busted.
The scratch is near the top, and I've tried everything to get this sucker to work again. I really REALLY wan't to play some of these games I have sitting in my face!](/forums/Smileys/default/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")

I found a deep scratch on the back of the systemcard, just noticed it. I'm guessing that's why it isn't working.
I didn't think the system card was bad either, but everything else is working fine. I tried cleaning both the card and the card slot, but nothing worked.
Yeah, I already bought it though.

I don't have the capability to play Japanese huCards, that would be very freaking nice though!
I decided to buy a system 2.0 card off of ebay, for the ridiculous price of 39.95. I emailed him to see if he'd lower it a bit, but he replied with a cocky email saying it's a "fair" price. Oh well, having a working tgCD seems well worth it to me!

I found a deep scratch on the back of the system card 2.0. I believe that is why it isn't working. I don't know I didn't notice this before. I went ahead and bought a new one, if this isn't why the tgCD isn't working correctly I'll just return it. Thanks again for the info guys!

All I've tried was rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. I've also heard of using a high polymer eraser too, I'll try to scrub a little harder and see what happens. The system card has been sitting for years, so you're probably right. The color of the pins seem to match other hu Cards. Thanks for helping me out guys!

I don't think the hu Card slot is bad, because I can still play regular hu Card games with the dock and a/v cables. I've tried cleaning the system card a few times.
But yeah, the system card does look different. When I look at a game card, there are a few pins in the middle that have smaller looking pins coming from the back of them.

Buy/Sell/Trade / System Card 2.0 for sale --*Never Mind*
03/09/2009, 12:28 AM
I recently bought a tg-CD, and found out through the repair forum that my system card 2.0 may be damaged. I was hoping someone had a spare system 2.0 card laying around that they'd like to sell.
So...uh, anyone have one?

Awesome, thanks! I'll try that right away. I'll post the results soon!
EDIT: The system card is definetly not working, thanks alot for the info though. I had no idea if the had to read to see if there was a system card in the slot first or not. I'll post in the sales/trade forum to see if anyone happens to have a spare system card laying around. Thanks again!

Ok, I have two questions that will help me get this TG-CD running again. Because I still don't know if it's the dock, the cdplayer or the system card now.
-Will the turbografx CD menu come up before it attempts to read the cd game?
-Will the system turn on as soon as I power it on? Will the red number at least show?
All I get is a grey screen when I have the system 2.0 card in. But when I put in, let's say Bonk's adventure, it works beautifully with the dock and A/V cables.

Okay, well, I got the Cd player to work. When it is docked and I turn the system on, nothing happens. Not even number on the cdplayer. All I get is a blank screen. But, when I press play on the CD unit, it will play the sound track from a game.
It doesn't matter if the systemcard is in or out, it does the same thing. So my guess is it could be the Dock, or the systemcard.
But could it be the dock that's bad? Because I can play regular Hu cards just fine through the dock. Maybe it's still the cdplayer? Has anyone had an similar experiences with this?

Console Repair/Mod Center / Turbografx Cd Player Won't Spin Disk

Hello all, this is my first time posting here obviously, but I'm having a problem fixing the Turbografx CD Player portion of the Turbografx CD. I was hoping that someone here has had some experience fixing this problem. When the system is turned on, the CD trys to spin for a second then stops. I hooked the adapter directly to the CD player, but the same thing happens.
WHAT DOES WORK:
As far as I know, the dock part of the Turbografx CD works fine. I used it to have a/v cable support for playing Hu Cards.
The System 2.0 card works I believe, when I turn on the system, the screen turns gray. I'm not sure if it will first go to the Turbografx CD screen before it reads the disk.
The AC adapter works, it's a radioshack unit, but it's the 12v 1500mA adapter that should work with it.
The CD player turns on, the red LD displey comes up with the digit 0, that's it though.
The motor isn't dead, I hooked a 9v battery up to it to test it.
I can see a red light in the lens, so I think the laser is working.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: (As far as I know)
The lens doesn't run up and down and attempt to read a CD.
The CD player doesn't spin the disk.
I'm sorry if there was a similar post on this subject, I searched the forum but came up empty. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
