Tonight's Pickup!

[LowRes]

Was eating dinner with the family when I noticed this popped up on kijiji for $300CAD which is about $220US from a game store in the GTA called Retro Game Bros. Unit is re-capped, screen mod, controller out mod, and I think a region switch In the battery compartment but doesn't seem to work.

I'm gonna post pics of the inside if anybody with mod knowledge can tell me how it looks, I don't know much about mods.  They said it was done by a well known modder in the GTA that they trust, but opinions from you guys would be appreciated

good deal. These usually sell for 500. well done.

Wow, that's an unusual find. Seeing something with THAT much work on it for sale at a local store; especially for a price like that. I've been to that store in the past as well, they have some good stuff.

Is that screen held in with sticky tape?

It seems to be held in with hot glue.  I'm not sure what the reason for the extra pieces sticky tape on that one side.  Maybe common for light to pass through in that area? It's definately hot glued though

Ya stuff like that never usually comes up.  I called them right away and they put it aside for me.  Those guys are awesome, I buy stuff there every once in a while.  Very nice guys

The d-pad and buttons need a little cleaning and I don't know about all that hot glue, but otherwise nice pick up!

I'm not a fan of all the hot glue everywhere either, and I hope to find another one without all the mods, but I'm pretty happy with this one too.  Somebody put a lot of work into it, The 3.5" screen is definately pretty nice

I found out the little switch in the battery compartment is to cut off the AV out from headphone jack so it doesn't interfere with the sound when actually using headphones.  I originally thought it was a region mod switch but I was wrong.  From what I can tell it actually doesn't have any region mod installed. 

[RNSpeed]

Awesome, good deal.  I been trying to find a good deal like that but unable to.

LOL!  When I saw the glue it was my first thought.  Regardless having real hardware to play on the couch, car, shitter, wherever for Turbo is nice. Congrats on the purchase! Thanks for sharing.

The most common Turbo Express region mod is the "switchless" one. Press and hold the 'Select' button while powering on to change regions. If that doesn't work, it hasn't been region modded.

is this true or you are trolling? hold select button?

[hoobs88]

My Turbo Express has been modded with the switchless version. Most of the modders on this forum perform that mod too. If the previous owner stated that it was region modded, but the new owner doesn't see a switch, I would think it is a switchless mod.

Ya that was the first thing I tried when I first picked it up since it was a turbo express.  This unit has not been region modded.
