The Duo has a fuse near the power switch, hopefully that didn't blow too. I dunno if you opened up the unit yet, but yeah first things first if there isn't even power.
I dunno, I think the only reason to keep my US Turbo Duo is for localization testing with real NEC hardware. For actual playing I'd rather do so on my LG OLED with an Analogue Duo via a digital connection. I don't care about CRT/RGB anymore, not for a long time anyway.

Quote from: NightWolve on Today at 12:22 AMThanks a ton for checking!Quote from: rag-time4 on Yesterday at 04:22 AMMine reads 36.7 ohms.
Yep, checks out!
If the new fuse and cap don't solve the problem it sounds like the Duo itself will have to be sent out for repair.

Sorry to say it's pretty much a skeleton crew here (namely me).
Hm, as to your problem, I still have my original Turbo Duo PSU, I'll see if I can find it for you later. I bought a modern one with internal regulation from Bernie since the OG is just a dry transformer, 4 diodes and a smoothing capacitor. I figured it's better for internal voltage regulators if the exact needed voltage is coming in.
But yeah, I think I can actually help you with this one.
Curious the resistance you get. Seems mine is very high for a transformer coil but who knows.
I've got a replacement cap and fuses on the way.

Console Repair/Mod Center / Turbo Duo AC Adapter HES-ACA-0...
Last post by rag-time4 - Yesterday at 04:22 AM
Tried to power up teh Duo after many years of disuse and not getting any power output from the AC Adapter. Opening it up, the fuse is blown. The coil smells like it may be cooked, but I was wondering if anyone could test a good one and give me the ohms reading between the plug prongs. Mine reads 36.7 ohms.
The four diodes appear healthy but give inconsistent readings.
D1 2.88 Mohms
D2 2.62 Mohms
D3 2.99 Mohms
D4 2.94 Mohms

Last post by NightWolve - Yesterday at 03:19 AMPC Engine CD Localization News: 15 YEARS later, SamIAm's quest to localize #Falcom's Legend of Xanadu I & II series finally paid off! A day-one, 100% English patch was the goal but dubbing kept talking/taking too long... In the end, subtitles got the last word!

SPECIAL: By popular demand, if you can't patch it yourself, I made a CD image for someone so link below. Final output is in ISO/WAV/CUE format, just load the CUE in most emulators (though BIN/CUE is the most compatible, convert if need be):

Hm, gotta get krikzz to honor a return/exchange I guess?? So definitely a bad EDFX...
Good luck!
Oh and for all you PCE turbros in France, stay safe out there amidst all the fiery protests/riots, instability!

Thanks for your answer (blue pin C23), it looks good to me exept maybe the transistor. I buy some extra Megadrive 2 cables to test [one with RCA (composite, audio left right) output : sure this one will work].
