Title: Turbo Duo Modder needed
Post by: Green on October 11, 2016, 10:36:11 AM

I recently had my Turbo Duo recapped (professionally) because there was no audio. After the recapping there is still no audio and the store I took it to doesn't have the expertise to further troubleshoot an obscure system so here I am.
I bought a RGB to component board, component couplers, and region unlock board (tiny little thing) too. I was hoping someone here could steer me to someone to further repair and mod for me. Obviously I will pay them.

Thanks!

I highly recommend TheSteve. The dude can almost fix anything.

I've had positive experiences with both Keith Courage and mickcris.

I can do the work too, but my return times are rather long right now.  :( Been really busy with college lately.

I've also installed one of those RGB > Component boards before. Came out really nicely.

Got the Duo back from MNKyDeth and I highly recommend him. Kept me in the loop with status pictures and was accurate with cost estimate.

Even modded a Monster Cable for me!
Recap, region mod and component mod. Very happy with it.
