Title: Another new member to my PCE family,

Well, I happen to pick this up today from my sources.  Pc Engine GT, Yes,, cheap.. works out to about USD 30.

well, screen works perfectly,,, but I found out the I and II buttons are kinda bad,, have to press hard to get it working or sometimes no responses.  and also the Volume on this thing is VERY VERY LOW...

well, I guess for it's price... something must be not perfect,

My question is.. ANY one that has same problems and managed to fix it ?? and How can I go fixing these issues ??
your comments PLS..~~~

Good deal for $30, so I suppose a few glitches can be overlooked.  Congrats on getting a GT.  :clap:

I don't know how to go about fixing the buttons (outside of a good spring cleaning), but the sound issue is quite common.  Check out this thread (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=702.0) for D-Lite's instructions on how to find and replace the dead caps that are responsible for the low volume.

The contacts for the buttons inside need to cleaned.

If you're feeling like a little DIY, follow D-Lite's instructions for replacing the caps. If you're not, I'd be willing to do it for you for a nominal fee.
