[Buy/Sell/Trade / Turbo Express 'For Parts' For Sale]

Turbo Express sound caps have been replaced, works nice and loud, screen on the other hand displays games only in various shades of red pixels when playing so I guess this would be a 'for parts' only sale. Make me an offer or perhaps trade for a couple TG16 games (bonk, bonk's revenge, splatterhouse, addams family cd) or any old school IBM Lucasarts / Lucasfilm games in mint condition.

I'm looking for the items listed above in complete boxed vg condition.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm getting in a little over my head with my radioshack soldering iron so I'm shipping this baby off to Duo_R's hospital

Removed the ribbon connector, cleaned and reattached but screen is still showing red. Ribbon's attached fine on the other end

I initially ripped off the ribbon connector, (accidentally), from the circuit board to the LCD screen so it's probably not soldered correctly. Those teeth are so small it's gonna be a challenge to get it to work properly, (that is if I haven't ruined it already)

Replaced all the sound capacitors and got it working nice and loud. The lcd display shows only shades of red though, not sure why. I've replaced all capacitors except for the 470uF 6.3V & 22uF 6V. Not sure if these have anything to do with the video:

Why is Bonk 3 so expensive? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250386991036 This one has no spine and a cracked case yet people are bidding like madmen!

The video screen appears to turn on but doesn't go white, the sound works but is extremely low so I'll have to replace all the caps there too. These 100uF 16V caps came in yesterday, I don't want to put them on until someone identifies that 'extra' part on the board though.

Hi Guys, I bought a 'working' TE on EBay which of course doesn't work at all. It appears to be missing a bunch of capacitors, the metal covering over the circuit board and I wanted to know what this half busted component is as I don't see it on the TE replacement capacitor chart:
