Title: Faulty PC Engine
Post by: SnakePliskin on March 23, 2007, 02:39:44 AM

Firstly, hello everyone! This is my first post on this site.

I have a problem. A while back I bought a white PCE with the intent to AV mod it, only the thing is...I broke it  :-({|= I think I have shorted something or other

So...Does anybody know if there is any information on the web regarding faults/fixes or PCB layouts/diagrams so I can have a bash at fixing it (Translate to "make it worse"  :wink:) I've had a look myself but didn't find much so I thought i'd put it to the guys in the know.

I could buy a new one but they go for around £50 over here. I have seen them cheap on Japanese websites but then its the shipping cost that ramps the price up so this is a last resort. And yes, it would be a Core Grafx  :D

Any info would be a great help

Cheers fellas

Hi,
I too have been trying to repair a dead PC-E CoreGrafx but with no success. I have checked the basics, but they seem fine. I'm now at the stage where I also need schematics to try and trace the fault.javascript:void(0);
Think

As you killed yours by shorting it have you checked the PCB fuse which is under the heatsink for the regulator?
Have you checked the regulator is giving out 5V?

Unfortunately that's all the advice I have at present. Please post any success you have.
