Turbo Grafx Turbo Express Repair:

Nice video.  I would replace all the capacitors for sure.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

Nice. I have a TGExpress and a new cap kit. I need to get around to swapping them all out when I get a chance.

Nice. I purchased one in disrepair recently as well as a capacitor kit.

I found the kit itself had many components which did not precisely match the original ratings, though they were the correct form factor for the most part.

I targeted the ones for video first as that was the most pronounced problem (audio was present, though feint). Still no video.

I ended up ordering some more equipment to continue the soldering work that I am still waiting on, but hopefully the rest of the repairs will go smoothly, the last capacitor I replaced did at least lead to improved audio volume.

It is very precise work though, not quite as small components as a current era smart phone insides, but it feels much more cramped since some of the components are so large in such a small volume.
