Quote from: D-LiteA Japanese Sys 3.0 card will work if the TG16 is modded for region switching.

I'm considering it if I can find an eight pole switch.

Quote from: jlindsay26Well I cleaned the card and the system really well still didn't work so I decided to open the card up since it was broken anyway. Did confirm the card was bad the legs on one of the chips had separte from the card on all the other chips including one side of this chip the legs are sealed in a hard black substance I figure to prevent damage, I'm guessing they missed one side.

Too bad your system card is a dead, but can you post some pics of it?

I love to see the innards of that card.


Sure I'll try posting it tomorrow if I can find the memory card for my digital camera.

Thanks for the advice, I figure I'll try Radio Shack tomorrow see if they have some kind of cleaning brush hopefully I can get it working.

The card has english writing and it says Turbo Grafx on the back, just doesn't seem to work. I'm going to try clean the system some more I was wondering if these card have a high failure rate or if I'm just unlucky.

I ended up buying a Turbo Grafx 16 + CD it came with a bunch of games and two system cards the 2.0 and 3.0 cards. The 2.0 card works fine the 3.0 card doesn't load all I get is a white screen. I've tried cleaning the card and the system and it still doesn't work. I was wondering if the japanese 3.0 cards will work in an US system. Also wondering if anyone else has had a dead 3.0 card. I'm going to take it apart so I can really clean the card slot really well wish me luck.

Update:
