[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: taking apart the interface unit]

Also, I would like to add when I opened my unit up there was no metal shielding under the components is that a revision? Maybe someone already opened this up and forgot to put it back? Another thing: the cdrom unit itself doesn't fit  flush with the back of the unit. I suspect it may be due to some really long solder blobs hanging from the bottom of the cd connector. Could someone take an up close picture of their units cd connector? Maybe level so I can see how much of the solder work hangs from the board its soldered to.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: White PC Engine should be white]

So, now that I have everything setup I'm thinking about using some hydrogen peroxide (3% and some oxyclean) to remove the yellowing on my pcengine. It's only slightly yellow on about 55% of the top (looks a little uneven) so I heard the 3% method should produce okay results. The only thing I'm worried about is the logo on the top and the serial number on the bottom. Will this fade the logo? (I'm thinking the serial number will probably be toast so I'll have to find a way to cover it or take it off beforehand.)

Try posing in the repair section.
 I am shore I came across a website with a rgb mod for the inter face unit with full instructions on taking it apart worth having a look for that, if I find it will post it back here.

Yeah I was thinking I should have posted there. Anyway, I ended up finding what I was looking for using google image search. Turns out there are two clips on each side of the tray. Used a medium/soft guitar pick and it popped open pretty quick.

So my interface unit arrived today and its in decent shape. The only problem is it is literally the dirtiest thing I've ever owned. I managed to clean it up quite a bit but the area where the lock switch and all the areas where the top and bottom meet are just caked in black crap. So I want to take it apart and deep clean all the plastic. While it wasn't hard to get the screws out I'm stuck trying the separate the pieces (I don't know if they are tabbed together or if there are some hidden screws somewhere). Does anyone have some pictures or a tutorial on opening this thing up? My searches around google haven't yielded anything useful so far.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I already own bomber man and bomber man '93 (is '94 worth it over '93?) as well as splatter house (just loose since its pretty pricey for one in a case).

Well I got an IFU 30 coming in the mail but no drive at the moment. Cd games are something I'm looking into though.

So, I just got a pc-engine for the first time and my library is pretty much all shoot em ups and I'd like to change that. What other games would you guys suggest? Are there any under the radar games in other genres that I should pick up?
