Title: Music fading in and out on Turbo Duo
Post by: oldschoolgamer1989 on September 11, 2008, 01:31:09 PM

Just picked this up yesterday and everything works well except for the music from discs fades in and out and then, after its been on for awhile, it stays on. I heard it could be bad caps? what do i do? :(

digikey, electronics parts website, radio shack, Fry's.....a broken portable DVD player....I don't know there are infinite sources where you could get it. I unfortunately spent a little more than $1 getting it fixed (well $1 will probably stop the fading, but probably not the "snap, crackle and pop" that happens sometimes. If you are picky like I am you will go mad replacing every cap on the board until it is perfect again (if that is even possible)

Any idea what components are causing the noises?

snap crackle pop? Well everything so far seams related to the caps as for as I know. There are many posts on this forum related to that. Let me know if you need some direction.
