Title: turbo express screen too bright
Post by: playthegame119 on June 18, 2013, 08:21:59 AM

I recently acquired a non working turbo express and after replacing the 3 main audio caps and the video cap in the top right of the board, got it to work quite well. However, I noticed that the screen seemed bright, so bright in fact that even with brightness turned all the way down it was still a bit too bright. Does anyone know of any other caps that may effect the video or brightness that I should replace. Thanks!

You should replace all the caps, not just a few.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the screen get crazy bright and faded when the batteries are dying?

Looks like that was the issue. Tried some new batteries and the screen looks great. Thanks!
