[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Engine Duo lid not 100% closing]

Took the unit apart the hole the screw gose into was actually cracking, I am trying to superglue the crack closed now.

Ok, so I tightened the screw and it was fine for awhile, but now the issue came back and the I think the reason is the hole the screw goes into is some what stripped because it dose not tighten all way like the other screws on the unit do.

Is there a way to fix this?  I was thinking maybe filling the screw hole with thick super glue and then screw the screw and let it cure with the case clamped down.  Any other better ideas?

One thing you should check is try and push down on the rear and front of the case(not on the CD lid) To see if the scraping sound goes away. It sounds to me almost like what happens if the case is not tightened down all the way.

Yeah the issue disappears then.

My on my Duo, the lid dose not stay closed 100%.  It latched shut, but stays up just a tinsy little bit so you hear sounds because the disk isn't held down in balanced when it's shut unless you put a light weight on the lid.

How hard is this to adjust or fix? And will not fixing it cause damage to my games?

Ok so I opened the system up and clean it out(it was really dusty and dirty on the inside.  That has fixed the problem(and I hope it stays that way).

[Console Repair/Mod Center / PC Engine DUO with Extremely long load times and CD-Audio Errors]

I have a PC Engine Duo, and I brought it out one day after being in storage for several months and now CD based games take a extremely long time to load and plays wrong or random tracks for the CD-Audio.  I do not have soldering skills, if there is a fix for this that I can do with out I would do i my self but if not I would like to find someone who can do that for me and how much in parts and labor that would cost.  Also being close to southwestern Ohio(Cincinnati/Dayton area) would help but not necessary.

Thanks for the help.
