Title: PC Engine GT Screen Replacement or LCD MOD in the UK
Post by: Big Shoes on June 01, 2016, 01:16:59 AM

Hi,
Does anyone do the LCD Mod or does anyone have a replacement screen they can fit for me on a PC Engine GT. I have had all the capacitors replaced but the screen still does not work well, it lights up and you can just about make out the game.
Many thanks,
Paul

Weak and dim screen could be caused by bad caps near the little silver box, were those replaced? If not, get someone to replace it. 

Plenty of people can do LCD mods here.  I'd offer but it's just too much trouble trying to find new LCD that works correctly with the TE.

Check your -24V supply
Its the larger 22uf cap and nearby pot

Thanks for your replies, I have no idea about replacing the Caps, I sent it off to someone on Ebay to replace all the caps, it now has sound but the screen still doesn't work. He says he tested it after the cap replacement and their is something wrong with the screen.
I will happily pay someone else to look at it for me and sort out the problem.
Anyone willing to offer their services?
Many thanks in advance.
Paul
